I GET TO.... I was a mess, a functional train wreck if a train wreck is even functional? Drinking too much to escape, overweight by 30+ pounds, relationship problems, and worst of all wracked with internal chaos, overwhelm, hopelessness, anxiety, and scared to return to my chosen field of work. I left hospital nursing due to anxiety attacks, feeling suffocated under the pressure. I took a leave of absence and during this time found Ascent Empowerment and took a leap of faith and never looked back. Chris and Stephen, have been so incredibly attentive, caring, and insightful. I wanted to reclaim my sense of vitality in all areas, and after ten weeks I found my way back to connecting in with what is awesome about my job. I had lost 25 pounds reclaiming my sense of vitality! My partner jumped on board with reclaiming vitality and also lost 25 pounds! I’ve cut back on alcohol 90%, and it is no longer such a seductive habit. I’m sleeping better. And best of all I am feeling again like the guy my partner fell in love with! Feeling gratitude for my past struggles may sound strange, but there is a new found conviction that has been born within me, knowing that I can handle whatever life throws my way, and all these challenges in the end were for my greater good. There is a joy and a refreshing lightness in my spirit from the fire of my youth that I am getting to re-welcome back home. My best advice is if you have doubts, ask if you have felt enough is enough? I was so fed up with where I was not going. If that’s you, then invest in you, dive right in, get passionate about your growth, and get excited to rediscover your possibilities. Best investment ever into me and my family!

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.

Beyond thankful for Chris and Ascent Empowerment I am beyond thankful I met Chris and joined Ascent Empowerment. The results exceeded all expectations. I went from stress literally sending me to the ER, my doctor telling me it might kill me, and this fading just wanting to survive feeling to the complete opposite. Now I radiate positivity, I wake up excited for the day ahead, I’m back to crushing it at work, I’m back to crushing it at home. What I learned and the work I put in through Ascent Empowerment stopped my spiral, got me back to my best self, and then even leveled me up from there. If Chris thinks he can help you and you are ready to learn and put in the work, don’t even hesitate, sign up and do it.

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.

Consultation I'd like to give a better review, but was disappointed after my conversation with Chris last week. Chris seems like a nice guy and I'm sure his program has helped some people, but my consultation call was disappointing. In the last portion of the call, pretty high pressure sales tactics were used. Not a deal breaker right there, but I think we differ in opinion on how this kind of program should be presented and sold. What bothered me is that when I told Chris I don't make significant financial decisions like this without speaking with my wife, his response was to try to convince me that this was my decision and not my wife's, so I could make a decision right there without speaking with her. It could be that we have different opinions of what is ethical in convincing someone to make a decision, but that was a deal breaker for me. Selling a program you're passionate about like this is a challenging task, and I really hope Chris is able to help a lot of people, but disagree with the tactics used in the consultation. I wish Chris and any of his clients the best and do hope that people are transformed with the program.
