How it started?

It all started with a flood of late-night texts. Leaders everywhere were messaging April Sabral—former retail executive, store leader, and leadership coach—asking for help:

“How do I have this tough conversation?”
“What should I say to motivate my team?”
“Do you have a script for this?”

She always replied. Because that’s what leaders do. But after hundreds of messages, one thing became clear:
"Just Ask April" was helpful—but not scalable.
So, she built what she always wished she had when running stores: a go-to leadership training hub packed with courses, coaching, and even AI-powered answers to your toughest team questions. Now, Ask April is here to help every business owner lead with confidence, build stronger teams, and grow with less guesswork.

It’s like having April in your pocket. Only smarter. And way more rested.

April Sabral: Turning Experience Into Actionable Frameworks

With over 30 years in retail, April Sabral has trained everyone from store managers to vice presidents, working with brands such as Jimmy Choo, Tory Burch, Sunglass Hut, Psycho Bunny and boutique retailers like Elan Flowers in New York.

Throughout her career, she noticed a pattern: most managers were promoted because they could sell—not because they knew how to lead. April’s gift is simplifying leadership into clear, repeatable systems. She created tools like the Nine-Step Accountability Wheel to help managers shift ownership, reclaim their time, and empower their teams to deliver results.

That’s why she built Ask April—to provide the exact tools, coaching, and mindset shifts needed to turn good managers into confident leaders. No fluff. Just what works on the floor.
