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.

Chris offers something you can't get anywhere else When I was first introduced to Chris - I was definitely in a horrible place in life. Struggling at work, with health and my relationship. Struggle is not new, but being stuck was. I've done other programs, had coaches, read books, been to live events etc. But I would inevitably have some back slides and with COVID quarantine, I hit a whole new set of challenges. I was hesitant at first and not everyone supported my decision, but Chris' insight and conversation from our first conversation told me that he had real experience working with men in my situation. A huge realization of my own growth was recapping my first conversion with Chris an see that I went from 60-70 hours a week yet feeling only 40% was productive to a more normal 45 hours/week at 80% to 100% productivity! Being focused, present, and holding clear prioroties made a world of difference. Something that separated Chris and his program was the focus on identifying, naming, and reprograming the mental habits that hold us back. I've learned things from working with Chris that I have never seen anywhere else. I went from 1 of the worst mental positions of my life, to feeling more incredible, building stronger relationships with my fiancé & family, and working through a whole new set of goals. I would highly recommend working with Chris because you're going to learn some concepts and tools that you just won't see anywhere else.
