Invest in yourself! I started my journey with Chris in early 2022, when I felt like I was in a deep rut both in my career and personal life. Over the 10-week program, I learned so much about myself, what has been holding me back, and tools for becoming my true authentic self. Chris and Stephen really know how to ask the right questions on the one-on-one calls, and there is always a great group of men in the weekly group calls. There is such a diverse background among the men involved but we are all very much connected through this program. While my journey has only begun with the knowledge I have learned from Chris and Stephen, I hope to continue on this path in the future. I would also highly recommend attending the retreats they host. Being out in nature with a great group of guys working through their issues is extremely powerful and I will never forget that weekend.

Amazing Results from an Extraordinary Coach and Mentor The Ascent Empowerment 10 week program is flat out life changing. Chris is an authentic, talented and energetic coach. Most important, he deeply cares about his clients, and understands exactly what it takes to help each individual become mentally strong and unstoppable. I massively transformed my mindset from disempowered to empowered by doing the work, and simply listening to Chris’ skilled guidance. The reason for the transformation is simple; Chris provides exceptional course content that assures any motivated person will make big progress on their goals. Everything about the program promotes personal growth, quality of life and peak performance. Do yourself a favor and take this journey. You will be thrilled with the awesome, empowered person who emerges at the end.

Choose to Break Free and Realize Your Full Potential This program was exactly what I needed when I needed it. When I started the AE program, I was incredibly low, and the negative beliefs I was maintaining were affecting my entire life. I had become detached from what was important to me in life (friends, family, personal connections, and enjoying this beautiful planet), felt stuck in my position at work, and completely burnt out. After trying the same thing for years, I had convinced myself there was nothing I could do about it. I needed a coach to try something new. Chris and Stephen’s coaching through the empowerment program was the “something new” I needed and broke me out of the spiral I had put myself in. The insight they provided at exactly the right moments was priceless. The personal discoveries over the course flipped my mindset and broke me out of my beliefs driving fear and self-doubt. It helped me rediscover the confidence I lost somewhere along the way, realize what is truly possible and embrace the powerhouse that is me!

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.

Always striving… As someone who has always been striving for more, I have read lots of books, Steven Covey etc. and took courses for self improvement including an MBA, Critical Thinking etc. None has had such a profound positive effect on my life as Chris' course. The accountability and reflection as well as the group meetings with other guys similar to me really hit home. I was reluctant initially to sign on, but really glad I did. I did not expect to find that is was one of the best investments in myself I could have done. Follow the course along and you will discover the better you, which you have been seeking.
