Hello! I’m Asya Watkins.
A Project Management Professional, Community Organizer, & Speaker focusing on Building Community, Turning Failures Into Career Opportunities, & Advocating for Diverse Teams in the workplace.
I am currently available for Speaking Engagements.
How Can I Support Your Next Speaking Event?
Known to speak candidly from the heart, I am an effective storyteller, who uses my own journey to teach and inspire. Whether it’s talks on Retaining & Sustaining Teams, sharing my talk on the Setback Staircase on how I tuned my “failures” into some of the best career opportunities of my career, or my talk on How to Celebrate and Advocate for a Diverse Team, I bring vision and wisdom to every conversation to bring women together in the name of community and progression.
