Lisa Gareau

Ashley Tedham has leaned into her life with courage and has become a leader who embraces the “fear factor” in her leadership.

A native Calgarian with a passion for international and community development, Ashley obtained her Bachelor's Degree in Political Science at the University of Calgary in 2007, and a Master's Degree in 2012 in International Affairs at The Graduate Institute in Geneva, Switzerland.

Over the last fifteen years, Ashley has worked with various International Organizations in Sierra Leone, Canada, and Switzerland, including the Canadian International Development Agency, the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Korea to the United Nations and World Trade Organization, the World Meteorological Organization, and the World Health Organization.

In 2016 Ashley returned to Calgary and became the Executive Director of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award (the Award).

In 2020, Ashley was included in Avenue Magazine's Top 40 Under 40, highlighting the Award's work empowering criminally involved youth through a project she developed called The Youth Resiliency Project.

Ashley took on a new role with Benevity in 2021 acting as their Director of Global Operations & Foundation Partnerships. Ashley is a passionate volunteer and currently sits on the board of CAUSE Canada and Making Changes Association.

In our conversation today Ashley shares how – to truly connect with ourselves, our teams, and the opportunities that arise – we must be honest about who we are, clear about where our boundaries lie, and willing to embrace the “fear factor” in every step! 


You can find Ashley on LinkedIn HERE and explore how Benevity is “helping the world’s top brands create social impact” HERE!
