York Ast

When Covid changed our lives in 2020, York Ast was also dealing with a family trauma triggered by addiction in his family. By that time, York’s professional life of the previous 20 years was focused around leading large hospitality teams in high-end settings such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Rainbow Room in NYC. York’s favorite part of the work was to develop talent and connect both up and down the corporate ladder. These life events (Covid and substance dependency) functioned as a catalyst for York to look at how he lived the last 20 years, and more importantly how he wanted to live the next 20 years. York embarked on a path to build his own executive leadership coaching business. How we lead in the work setting, at home and most of all how we lead ourselves continue to fascinate York. In addition to working part time as a peer parent leading meetings at OPLM, York developed his passion to volunteer as a parent coach in the addiction field, an area that as we know can be very lonely and it is York’s way to pay back with gratitude for the unexpected support he found along the path. York looks forward to connecting and making a difference, one conversation at a time.
