About Grind the GRIT
Grind the Grit was established because Ashley found herself in need of a more positive outlook on life. Understanding that we can only control ourselves and our reaction to the experiences around us; she knew that this positive view was intrinsic. The intrinsic motivation she needed to become the best version of herself; had her on her GRIND! She began getting gut level honest with who she was to grind out the parts of her character that did not align with her future self. Those small loose particles of character were causing her anguish, heartache, depression, and often times she was misunderstood. Once the grinding of the grit began; Ashley was a better mother, communicator, leader and asset to her community.
Getting honest with ourselves is no easy task, Ashley created the company to share her knowledge, wisdom and lessons to offer a more capable an adaptable approach per learning style. Each person has a dominate learning style and with her Masters in Adult Education; Ashley can teach almost anything to anyone! The courses are designed so no learner is left out. The learning styles are visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and reading/writing. Click the link below to find out what type of learner you are. For more information email info@grindthegrit.com
Ashley T. Dirks M.Ed. ~ Education that works for you!
Who is she?
Ashley T. Dirks M.Ed. is a life strategist. If you are wondering what a life strategist is; consider me an accountability partner with a keen sense of critical thinking skills. I created Grind the GRIT because I see a need for social-emotional learning. Grind the GRIT advocates for positive change by way of education of self and how we interact with others. Filling this gap will ensure a more positive life for everyone connected. The motto is character development is essential to healthy living. GTG follows an old philosophy from Confucius, that states; “Do not impose on others what you do not wish for yourself.” Through personal experience and education many of us can attest to being affected by the lack of moral integrity.
Grind the GRIT, LLC advocates for change by providing knowledge that can be applied best by practice, planning, & delivering your best self all while assessing what serves the greatest good. Changing patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving can lead to permanent changes in personality traits. Developing your character to fit your desired lifestyle is crucial to a healthy, happy, peaceful life.
Through a series of questions, leadership, and case studies of modern world experiences; participants will be able to discern when to apply the necessary skills to become a better version of themselves from their own perspective. This will exude confidence, poise and the extension of grace.
Participants gain total access to the founder and resources, which guarantee no stone is left unturned because your success is GTG success, we are discreet and ready to see you be GREAT!

A coach will help you and your child develop mature ways to deal with conflict, stress and anger, which could potentially make family life easier. Coaching can help your child to better understand the emotions they are experiencing and how to manage them. Coaching also allows parents/ gradians to gain insight on how they can be better examples by fostering a healthy relationship with their children.
As a mother of two teens boys, I can honestly say that there is no right way to raise a child; but I do have some life experiences that will help others connect with their children and wisdom for children to connect with their parents/guardians. These 16 years have been eventful and there is so much more learning to obtain. They say the teen years are the toughest, but I wouldn't know because I have non-custodial rights and limited visitation (8 days per month).
I would never complain about my situation now that I have mastered communication. I am a HUGH influence on my boys by my actions, words and leading by example. My boys have fought just as hard to keep our relationship strong and I am forever grateful for their efforts.
If you know of a teen who may be in need of a coach or a parent/guardian who may need some coaching feel free to pass along my info, I am happy to serve.
