OUR MISSION

On Expedition For Good exists to empower people to step away from the expected and into meaningful journeys of growth, service, and self-discovery. We support individuals at every stage of their expedition—whether dreaming, planning, or reflecting—by offering resources, community, and connection. Our mission is to help people do good, for themselves and for the world, one courageous expedition at a time.

Meet the “A” Team

  • Ashley James

    FOUNDER

    Ashley is an entrepreneur, former life sciences consultant, and author of Consultant On Expedition. After years helping companies solve complex problems, she stepped off the traditional path to explore what truly matters—and discovered a calling to help others do the same. Her work blends innovation with introspection, supporting people as they design intentional breaks, navigate uncertainty, and build lives filled with purpose, curiosity, and impact. She believes expeditions change people—and changed people change the world.

  • Amy Paro

    FOUNDER

    Amy is a certified career and leadership coach, transformational facilitator, and branding expert who specializes in guiding people through periods of deep transition. With over a decade of experience helping individuals realign with purpose, she brings a rare blend of creative intuition and strategic clarity to the expedition process. Amy’s coaching practice is rooted in helping people reconnect to who they are—and who they’re becoming—so they can chart paths of personal growth, professional reinvention, and lasting impact.

  • Not at all. We define an expedition as any intentional break or shift you take to grow, reflect, and contribute to something meaningful. That could look like travel, a career transition, a sabbatical, or a service project—it's personal, and we help you design it your way.

  • If you're feeling the pull to step back, rethink your path, or do something more meaningful—but you're unsure where to begin—you’re in the right place. We offer resources, programs, and community support for every stage: from early dreaming to full-on planning and action.

  • We offer free tools to help you clarify your goals, an 8-week cohort program for those actively planning expeditions, and a global community—The Good Network—for ongoing support, mentorship, and connection before, during, and after your journey.
