Empowered and Deployed! When I came to Ascent I was blocked, small and burnt out. I knew what I wanted out of life, but felt like I had tried everything, nothing was working and had resigned myself to thinking that maybe something bigger just wasn’t in the cards for me. However, I still remembered who I used to be, especially when I was in the outdoors and held out hope I could somehow rekindle it. Cue the day that the Ascent Empowerment program hit my feed. I have been a frequent flyer with self-help books, podcasts and programs. From our first exercise with Chris I knew this experience was going to be different. For the first time, I had faith that if I simply followed the program I would see the results I wanted in my life. So far, so good. Results so far: A completely renewed relationship and appreciation for my wife Deeper connection and joy with my kids Confidence at work that I haven’t felt or been able to display in decades - maybe ever. The confidence to bet on myself and launch into a new job and career challenge. It is something I have wanted to do for a long time, but finally was able to get past the hesitancy and dive in with excitement. I even slayed a double-black mountain bike trail last weekend that ate my lunch last summer. Fear, self doubt, hesitancy and overthinking used to be in the lead. Now I am learning to install a new operating system and am looking at my future with an excitement and passion that I have not felt in a long time. The butterflies at the top of that double-black turned from fear and anxiety to joy and possibility. The negative emotions are still there, but the Ascent Empowerment program has helped me detach on a path that I couldn’t have even conceived of or thought possible a few short weeks ago.

I was really stuck in a rut where I… I was really stuck in a rut where I didn't know what to do. I was going through a really tough transition in life. Young kid and career change happened all at once. I felt trapped in a way that I had never experienced before and couldn't see a way out. Chris's approach was incremental weekly challenges and he held me accountable. That's what I needed: The strategies and tactics to dig down and find my best self and allow him to come to the surface and dominate. He also helped me deal with issues that had been a problem as long as I could remember, he gave them names and ways to deal with them. I could see results immediately. Now I have a new job that I never thought I would be able to get and my home life is so much better. With the methods of dealing with my stress that Chris taught me I don't have to pass that stress on to my family. I continue to grow and heal with his teachings and I will always be grateful. I had tried therapy and read a lot of books, but Chris's program was the one thing that got me out of the rut. I hope others can do this and find the same success I did.

Help towards self acceptance, flourishing and producing more Chris has helped me understand and break through and out of a period of being stuck in my life. He's helping me set a platform that will allow me to flourish and be very productive in the next few years. Chris is helping me towards healing, self-acceptance, flourishing and producing. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Chris and can recommend him for his warmth, concern, and capability to help people move out of the mire of problems and towards flow and flourishing in their lives. He's particularly aiming his work at professional men- who are often left in that mixture of outward professional success, but not necessarily with internal acceptance and appreciation. I can recommend Chris to professional colleagues who need to get out of a rut.
