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.

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.

Do it! The Ascent program equipped me with the tools to see and create the truths I want- material truths, experiential truths and emotional truths. This is not a passive, transactional purchase; it is not snake oil or a cure in a bottle. The solution must be excavated and refined from within you. You do the work. If you have an aversion to sustained commitment, uncomfortable realizations or truly limitless potential, seek help elsewhere.

Follow up review as my first was pulled down. My initial review written some time back was taken down for unknown reasons. I'm writing it again having spent time in the “boot camp” and “momentum accelerator”. 1st, I fully endorse the boot camp with associated modules/lessons and supporting content. Chris is a great facilitator and gives helpful insight as a coach should. There is an option to continue coaching after the 10 week program (momentum accelerator). This wasn't as valuable for me personally for a variety of reasons.

Profoundly Helpful Before Ascent, I had been feeling meh and overwhelmed about work and life for about 10 years. I had a good tech job but was so worn out by it that I wanted to quit and just do landscaping and live a more simple life outside. Since Ascent though, I am able to find joy in my work, even though it is still challenging, and best of all I don't feel overwhelmed and worn out in my life anymore really, so I am working better AND just enjoying my life more. Enjoying life more is the best feeling and I feel more creative, more fun, and my relationship has improved a lot as well. It's honestly hard to believe how much it has helped!
