WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

"Professor Ashley Whillans was a delightful and thought provoking guest. As a Time Smart expert researcher and coach, she helped the members of our program connect with their purpose and find ways to be more aware of daily decisions where they can prioritize time over money. Her insights and examples from her work were effective in helping us to connect to essential skills and mindful future actions. She is charismatic and fun. We loved having her!"

"I had the opportunity to bring Dr. Ashley Whillans as a guest for a BCG Henderson Institute - People and Organizations (BHIPO) global event on Time Smart. Preparing for the event with Ashley was refreshingly smooth and surprisingly energizing; it was clear throughout that Ashley had our audience in mind... After the event, multiple colleagues reached out to me directly to thank me for having Ashley. We all agreed that her clarity, empathy, and - of course - a wealth of specialized knowledge made it a conversation that we'd take back to our teams. I highly recommend Ashley Whillans as a keynote speaker for any firm who prioritizes wellness and personal development. "

“Permira hired Ashley to give a webinar on her recent book “Time Smart.” At this event, Ashley shared scientifically proven techniques for improving time affluence and happiness with our busy team of private equity professionals. Ashley is an engaging and thought-provoking speaker. After the presentation, we immediately begin to execute on her ideas. Her talk was a great success and encouraged our firm to make small but powerful changes to have more control over our most valuable asset—time.”

“We have worked together with Ashley on several client engagements, where she delivered live sessions and Q&As on time and happiness. Ashley did a fantastic job of communicating key insights from behavioural science and translating research findings into actionable easy-to-understand takeaways, empowering people with strategies like funding time, finding time, and reframing time, to help them take more control of their health and wellbeing. It was a pleasure collaborating with Ashley and we received great client feedback from her sessions."
