TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Think
Tammy Gohlstin
SMM/GM Luxottica
“I had the pleasure of having Ashley lead a leadership workshop at the church I belong to. I found Ashley to be relatable, professional and well organized. She approaches leadership in a down to earth way focused on the service component of the role. Ashley made the course interactive and was very open to our ideas and answered any questions we had. I walked away truly feeling that this is her passion and she was genuinely concerned about my development as a leader.”
Dr. Aprille Young, Psy.D.

"As a leadership and organizational psychologist, myself, I have high standards when working with other consultants. There is a level of knowledge and training I expect from them, as well as specific ‘best practices’ I keep an eye out for. Ashley and Vance exceed all my expectations! They are professionals of the highest caliber and provide clients with all the resources they need to excel in any industry. I can say from personal experience that they will add unmatched value to any leader, team, or organization they work with.”

“Feeding The Wolf (FTW) is compiled of two extremely competent individuals who we found to have very complimentary backgrounds to our own. We hired FTW to conduct a process review and help us work through some leadership and management issues. They not only exceeded expectations, but during the organizational review, we discovered new ways to implement changes across the board. I can’t speak highly enough about FTW.”

The Story Behind Our Name
Our company name is inspired by an historic tale from the Cherokee tribe. As psychologists, we want to educate our clients to understand how behavior is influenced by our mindset. We are dedicated to developing our clients’ leadership capacity so they can thrive in their arena.
One evening, an elderly Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, " There is a battle between two 'wolves' inside us all.One is evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied,"The one that you feed."
