With over ten years of public speaking experience, Crystal captivates audiences with impactful, practical, and portable messages filled with life wisdom to shift their mindsets. Whether young or young at heart, each speech leaves audiences inspired and motivated to do more.

From speaker--to presenter--to hostess, Crystal has participated in more than 50 events, including company conferences, seminars, webinars, and school assemblies. She has a unique ability to engage each individual in a manner that makes him or her feel seen and understood. Audiences are entertained, educated, and empowered.

Audiences are saying…

 “You were AMAZING!! Thank you! You were absolutely engaging, which is so hard to do with high schoolers, but you had them at the edge of their seat thinking about their future. You’re the best!”Mariohn Michel, Executive Director Breakthrough Birmingham

“I learned how to really plan for college. I learned how I need to apply for many scholarships and even research it. Thank you so much for your time and insightful information. I will definitely apply the knowledge you gave. Thank you Ms. Crystal Ash!” —10th Grader Shades Valley High School

“I learned today that I should try my hardest on every little assignment and not to take any work I’m given with a grain of salt. I also learned to start preparing myself for and working towards my future goals as early as I can. I’ll be sure to find scholarships and programs that will help me achieve my goals as well and I appreciate the bits of knowledge and wisdom you were able to share with me today.” — 10th grader Ramsay High School

“I am not sure what I want to be when I get older. From your talk I learned that you can apply to as many scholarships as you want and I learned that you don’t always have to have a plan to be successful. Thank you for speaking to us today because it really inspired me to give my all in anything I set to do.” — 10th Grader Shades Valley High School
