Inspire Your Audience

 

Unlock Belief. Redefine Success.

 

“I’m Ashleigh McIvor – Olympic gold medallist, world‑class speaker and mountain mentor. Believing in yourself isn’t the destination; it’s the key that unlocks everything else.”

From conquering skicross on the world stage to carving out a life of skiing, biking and speaking, I’ve built my dream on my own terms. I turned talent into results, pressure into performance, setbacks into reinvention and passions into a balanced life – and I teach others to do the same.:

 

  • Book Ashleigh to Speak – Inspire your team to believe, perform and thrive.

  • Apply for a Mountain Experience – Ski and ride with me for an unforgettable, tailored mentorship (by application only).

Ashleigh’s Story

 

 

Rooted in Whistler – Raised by Belief

 

I grew up in Whistler, BC, surrounded by a culture of risk and resilience. Skiing powder and sending cliffs felt normal; what set me apart was the balance my family gave me. When skicross debuted at the 2010 Winter Games, everything aligned and I raced to gold . That moment wasn’t just a medal; it proved that belief, discipline and joy could coexist.

 

After the Games came whirlwind years of media, travel and relentless work. I built businesses, bought and renovated properties and discovered that success without alignment leads to burnout. Motherhood brought the pause I needed. Alone with my baby in the mountains, I realized my true gift was translating the lessons from elite sport – belief, resilience, adaptability and sustainable success – into a life that feels whole.

Why Belief?

 

 

Belief isn’t wishful thinking; it’s a practice. To perform when it matters most, to reinvent after a setback, to balance ambition with family – you need unrelenting self‑belief. It’s the key that turned a Whistler kid into an Olympic champion and the key that keeps my passions alive today.

 

  • Resilience: Keep going when every part of you wants to quit.

  • Work Ethic: Effort counts twice – in skill and results.

  • Self‑Advocacy: Speak up for yourself and your dreams.

  • Motivation & Performance: Turn fear and stress into fuel.

  • Reinvention & Adaptability: Pivot with purpose – again and again.

  • Sustained Success: Build a life that supports your passions and relationships, not just your accolades.

Signature Talk – 

Beyond Belief

 

 

My flagship keynote, Beyond Belief, distills the core lessons I’ve lived:

 

  1. Embrace Exceptional – Recognize and own the qualities and effort that make you unique.

  2. Align with Why – Connect performance with deeper purpose.

  3. Unearth Limiting Beliefs – Identify and replace old stories like “I’m not enough” or “I don’t deserve this.”

 

 

Audiences leave with actionable tools to build unbreakable belief, embrace uncertainty and create sustainable success – whether they’re executives, athletes, parents or students.
