“We at the Republican club of Okaloosa County were delighted to have Ashlee Leppert as our guest speaker. Her experience in the coast guard rescuing people after hurricane Harvey was riveting resulting in a commendation by President Trump. Her testimony of what was happening  in her personally, and the revelations that resonated with her  hit home on many levels. Ashlee is courageous, and inspiring! We highly recommend her presentation to any group or organization.”

-Beth Fife, VP of Programs, Republican Club of Okaloosa

“Ashlee Leppert spoke at our Women’s Conference April 13, 2024.  When I first met Ashlee in person as we set up things for the conference, I was practically star-struck.  She has an awesome presence but at the same time, she is like you have known her for years.  She is friendly, kind, gracious, and humble.  Ashlee brought what the Lord had laid on her heart for the ladies in attendance.  It was presented in an organized and transparent manner, which is not an easy task with a room full of strangers.  Her attitude in sharing her life story from her personal life to her Coast Guard career was so captivating and touched our hearts.  Also, she presented God’s Word with dignity, knowledge, and a heartfelt love. Ashlee spoke personally to as many ladies as time allowed during the conference with great compassion and care.  Ashlee is a phenomenal speaker and it was an honor to have her at our conference.  We appreciate her service to the Coast Guard and especially her service to her Lord.”

-Stacey C.

“During our recent author visit collaboration, I was impressed with Ashlee’s ability to process difficult questions and succinctly answer them. She is a great communicator.  I was also very impressed by her level of preparation and professional demeanor. It is clear that Ashlee possesses the right technical skills to complete a wide range of tasks, but she is also a leader, a motivator, and a positive influence that will benefit those around her.”

“Ms. Ashlee Leppert  (U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Second Class) was highly recommended to me as a guest speaker to the Destin Fl. Military Affairs Council (MAC).  She graciously agreed to speak and the result was a standing ovation from the audience. Her presentation was polished and engaging. She told of the challenging life situations that led to her enlistment in the United States Coast Guard and then about achieving her career goals, as a Flight Mechanic and subsequently, as a Flight Mechanic Instructor. Her adventures in performing her duties were remarkable and captivating.  Her confident, inspirational performance in front of the audience created exactly the atmosphere I was hoping for and her story touched our hearts as well.  The audience members stayed and engaged her after the MAC meeting was adjourned. The high recommendation that I received was entirely justified. I greatly recommend her as a guest speaker to any audience. I am a retired  Air Force Colonel and business owner in the Destin/Emerald Coast area of Florida. ”

– Kim M. Wintner, Col. USAF (ret.), Chairman, Destin MAC, Vice Chairman, Emerald Coast MAC

“Ashlee was the perfect speaker to engage and inspire our members.  She has an incredible ability to combine vulnerability and humor to connect to her audience.  Through her story and conviction our people were challenged to take action and live a life of impact and significance! We were honored to have her as our Keynote Speaker for our Iron Sharpens Iron Conference”
