Ashley Lynn Priore Featured on the Brainwork Framework Podcast: Move LIke A Grandmaster

Ashley Lynn Priore, Founder & CEO of Queenside Ventures, was recently featured on the Brainwork Framework Podcast in the episode, “Move Like a Grandmaster: Strategic Thinking Under Pressure with Ashley Priore.”

In the conversation, Ashley explores how chess can serve as a practical framework for making decisions when the stakes are high. The episode focuses on how people can shift from reactive thinking to strategic thinking by slowing the moment down, assessing the full board, and making more intentional choices.

Pressure often narrows our attention to the most immediate problem. Chess teaches us to pause, recognize what has changed, anticipate what may happen next, and consider how each decision supports a larger objective.

Drawing from her experience as a lifelong chess player, strategist, and founder, Ashley shares insights on strengthening situational awareness, managing pressure, and identifying what is within your control.

The episode also explores how chess-based thinking can support stronger leadership, communication, mindset, and performance across both personal and professional settings.

The goal is not always to move faster. Sometimes, the strongest move begins with creating enough space to think clearly.

This conversation reflects the mission of Queenside Ventures: helping leaders, athletes, and organizations see the full board, think more strategically, and act with greater clarity and intention.
