D.L. CEO Food manufacturing company - Nov 2023
I wanted to follow up with a sincerely huge thank you for your time today. I appreciate you and the commitment to give younger generations of entrepreneurs the wisdom they need to continue building their empire.
M.K. CEO (IT Business) – April 2023
As a new entrepreneur of a small but growing business, I am very grateful for being referred to the ASE group early on. I have now been working with them for two years and feel that the members of the group are very experienced and knowledgeable but most importantly - approachable, compassionate, and provide meaningful guidance for business owners and leaders. I feel most appreciative that the group acknowledges and listens to any concerns I have and at the end of every session, I always feel more confident as a leader of my company. I highly recommend the ASE group to anyone, especially those starting a new venture or needing guidance with difficult operational situations, and the sooner the better!
M.B. CEO (Consulting firm in Nutrition and Health) - March 2023
Over the last 7 years of regular consultations with your group, our charitable foundation has successfully completed a 668 suites senior’s apartment, a Private Care and a 320 bed Long Term Care facility. Your advice has been invaluable. I look forward to many more years of exciting and enjoyable meetings with you
T K Chair (A very large Charitable Foundation) – February 2023
I first got involved with ASE 27 years ago and I keep coming back for advice. The mentorship I have received has always been firm but kind. ASE helped me to start my business in 1995, sell my business in 2000 and help me buy it back in 2005. It’s been a great journey with ASE. I have always thought of ASE as my ADVISORY BOARD. The ASE mentors keep our discussions confidential, have no conflict of interest, have nothing invested beyond trying to impart years of business wisdom at such an insignificant fee that it borders on ridiculous. To have five successful people with very diverse backgrounds spend an hour and a half with me and my business partner is, as the advertisement says, PRICELESS. The mentors have knowledge and life experiences that have helped me, and my entrepreneurial ideas always remain on course or helped me course correct after each meeting. If you are an entrepreneur, you know there are very few people who you can discuss your hopes, fears, and desires about your business and how that impacts your life. I cannot say enough about ASE except that it’s the best kept secret for any stage of your business
R. J. President and CEO (Large manufacturing organization) Dec 2022
ASE is a brilliant group of professionals in one spot. I am so grateful to have meetings with them. In each meeting I receive authentic and thoughtful advice. Each feedback stands for years’ experience and practice. Meet them and most importantly take action upon their advice!
G.H (her) owner (Interior Design firm) – January 2022
Having access to the expertise of one former CEO is a special opportunity for a small business owner. Being advised by five at the same time is unheard of. As a television producer, director, and writer I’m primarily a craftsman. Entrepreneur is a new and strange role for me. My 90 minutes with the Associated Senior Producers was a game changer as I seek to expand my business. One session answered some of the fundamental questions that I have struggled with. I’ll be going back often to this treasured source of knowledge and practical advice.
C.C. Owner (Film/Video Production Company) – June 2021
What a wonderful meeting I had with ASE. All the members of the team were extremely knowledgeable and insightful. They showed a genuine interest in my business and helping me become successful. They provided practical recommendations and showed an understanding of my challenges. I felt like I was surrounded by so much wisdom. I am so grateful to all the members of ASE for their time and for sharing their wisdom. Thank you again!! –
P.G. President (Wealth Management Company ) – June 2021
ASE members are the ultimate consultant team. Each executive brings a wealth of high-level expertise in various facets of business and management. I felt honored to receive feedback and mentorship from such kind and helpful business folks. Not only are they seasoned professionals but there is something to be said from receiving mentorship and advice from others with authentic life experience. This sort of collective wisdom simply cannot be found with most “life coaches”. I left my first meeting feeling excited about the future with a more realistic set of tasks to achieve my business goals. Thank you, ASE members. Can’t wait for our next meeting!
S. K. (Founder – Healthcare Services) – Jan 2021

Thank you very much for your insight and time with me today. I found the experience was extremely helpful in helping me look at the opportunities from different viewpoints. It was also great in bringing to focus some of the opportunities, obstacles and potential traps and time wasters. I have a clear action plan for the two months of what to research and analyze so I can put together a strategic plan for moving forward. Warm Regards
M.D. Owner (New venture in Digital media) – Sep 2020

They listened to me intently, and offered a lot of practical suggestions. I left with new ideas and avenues to explore and will likely return for another meeting in the not-too-distant future.

5 stars – I visited A-S-E with a concept and no clear plan how make it a reality. They listened to me and 1 1/2 hours later, they turned my idea 180 degrees to something much more realistic and achievable. I had left with a clear plan of attack on how to achieve what I really wanted. Thank you very much. Looking forward to another meeting.

Another 5 star rating posted on our FaceBook page by our recent client “When building a new business, you get a lot of unsolicited advice from other people. But I felt very confident with the advice I was given from the ASE, as they backed up all their suggestions with examples from their own personal experiences and from their years of being business executives. The meeting was a very healthy mix of constructive, firm criticism and passion and enthusiasm.”

I wanted to say thank-you to you and everyone at ASE. I have found the meetings very motivational, informative and empowering – more so each time. Even when I haven’t been feeling productive or maybe lost in my direction, I always found some inspiration I needed to help me become better oriented. So many thanks to everyone
S.S. Owner (Healthcare business) – Sept 2022

M.A. (her) CEO (Logistics company) – Oct 2021
We are a husband-and-wife team running a small business in QC, who started questioning our own judgement under the stress of COVID and caring for our kids. My dream was to analyze our business with a group of executives. This is exactly what we are doing with the ASE. They showed us the dead weight we thought did not exist in our company and gave us the confidence to deal with it, and are showing us how to grow. We see this as a long-term relationship and are grateful for that. Thank you.
JL & DL owners (Food manufacturing company) – Aug 2021
The Associated Senior Executives have been helping me for a decade now, and they’ve helped guide me from a simple idea to something that was a reality, to a successful business that I’m still growing today. The insights and ideas I get from these brilliant people is invaluable – I’d suggest anyone (regardless of your own background) try out some sessions with ASE. I get something remarkable from every meeting along with great support and feedback too.
R. L. Owner and clinic Director – April 2021
Dear ASE advisors, I’d like to express my gratitude for a quality meeting with all of you today. I find the meeting extremely helpful and well exceed my expectations. Because the panel of advisors first took the time to understand my background and difficulties; then not only the advices and suggestions were given on a macro level but also micro level. The relaxed atmosphere made it easy for me to open up and express myself. I left the meeting with a clear direction and actions to take to move forward. Above all, I felt much more confident about myself and motivated to achieve my goals, which is invaluable for me. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all for generously giving your time and efforts to help people like me. I will undoubtedly recommend your association to anyone in need of business advices.

Thank you A-S-E and great knowing you all.”

The ASE group is knowledgeable, experienced and experts in many facets of business. I really do appreciate the opportunity to have coaching sessions with them. They saw the real essence of what I did, and had so many practical ideas to improve it. The most important thing is, your topic will be observed from several different points of view, which is brilliant to me! I highly recommend their sessions to any business owners who plan to take their business to the next level.
GH (Construction Project Manager) – July 2020
“Starting a business has been a very rewarding experience, but it also comes with many unique struggles and challenges.
