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.

“If we were to completely be honest, our committee had no idea how this opening event would go, but Asya surpassed all expectations with her transparency in life and dedication to her fine craft. I am better off for having had the pleasure of interviewing Asya. What’s more, the Minority Owned Business Committee is incredibly blessed and thankful for her entrepreneurial knowledge, astute perspective and kindred spirit. Thank you to Asya for your impact on myself, and more importantly, the Avanade community.”
