Review Time
The Ascent program has radically transformed my life from one of drudgery and survival to one of hope and purpose.I find myself more engaged at work with increased success and fewer hours. This, in turn, has created more time for my family and my personal outdoor pursuits. I was even able to take two weeks off to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro last fall. (Something that I never thought was possible until Ascent.)The camaraderie I have experienced with the other men in the program has led to friendship and an enhanced network of likeminded professionals.My wife has even said it is the best financial investment we have ever made.
Ascent Empowerment has truly changed my life! Taking the leap and reaching out to Chris was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The group of men I’ve met through this journey has pushed me to grow in ways I never expected. They challenge me, support me, and inspire me to show up as the best version of myself—not just for me, but for the people around me. I’m a better person because of this experience, and I’m grateful every day for the impact it’s had on my life.
I have struggled with anxiety and not ever feeling like I am doing enough. This struggle has led me to overwork in my career as an entrepreneur which then led me to being more distant with my wife and kids. I am an outdoorsy person and the group of coaches and community in the Ascent Empowerment program really appealed to me in a variety of ways and I chose to join them over two years ago. Since my time with them, I gladly spend the time I want with my family and have learned to let go of the guilt and fear of not being successful in my work. I have learned to say no to things that really don't matter and have continued to grow in my work success, I have a much calmer mind and now have a family that I spend a lot more time with and we have a stronger relationship. I also take every Friday off now and make time for the things that are most important to me, i.e. family, spirituality and physical and mental health.
My experience with Ascent has been life changing. I identified so many growth areas with Chris and have broken so many old patterns as a result of his support that I am truly starting to live my best life now. The high impact engagement from Chris is unlike anything I have experienced in a coaching or therapy relationship. And, the camaraderie and friendships formed from connecting with other men in similar stages of growth is so great. I would not be happier in my marriage and as successful recently in my career and in my life without Ascent!
Before Ascent I was struggling to overcome my diagnosed binge eating disorder. I had such big battles within myself in trying to find ways to get over it. The tools I gained in Ascent were the missing pieces that allowed me to get over it. Now I eat in an empowered and self-loving way. I am much healthier.Before Ascent I was consistently anxious and dwelling on the past and the future to the point that it would ruin many hours of my days. Through the use of the empowerment tools of Ascent, I now rarely experience any anxiety due to the newly gained trust I have in myself and the ability to stay present in the moments of each day. If I do feel anxious, I'm now able to be curious and learn from it, then move on. It does not control me any longer.
The work I have done with Ascent has unlocked the life-altering potential I had stuck inside me. A year ago, I was feeling completely overwhelmed with work and struggling to find time for family and friends. I often found myself paralyzed with worry, unable to take action, and falling further behind. Ascent helped me let go of my self-criticism and replace my negative beliefs with empowered ones. Today, I'm thriving, working toward the goals I had previously given up on with a new energy. My relationships are stronger, and I feel less worry day-to-day.
The Creating an Empowered Life program helped me overcome consistent feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt by providing me with a framework to dismantle my negative thought patterns. As a result, I now have more capacity for love, vision, and courage in both my personal and professional life. I'm more excited about my work than ever, and my new professional outlook has even inspired my wife (who has never found my career all that inspiring!). I also found that the systematic and structured approach Chris and his team used to lead me through the program gave me perspective on the ebbs and flows of my life, which makes it much easier to not get stuck in the low moments.While I still face challenges and anxieties, I now have the tools to reframe them and the patience (with myself) to ride through the lows and come out the other side reinvigorated and ready to go. I have tried lots of other techniques over the years and took something from each. Part of the magic of the Ascent program is that it not only taught me new approaches/perspectives, but helped me to incorporate all of those practices in a more cohesive and coherent way. Overall, this program has been instrumental in my personal and professional growth and I highly recommend it for anybody that is burned out, is ready for a real change and is willing to put in the work.
I came in to this program looking to boost my career and land a bigger better job. The growth work pivoted to my relationship with my daughter and opened a whole new world of connection and bonding with her. I got to see what it is I really want from this life and what I need to focus on to make it happen. The coaching is outstanding. Every time I had any doubts or concerns Chris or Stephen would have a call with me and uncover the source of my doubt and show me the solution that was in myself. That kind of discovery is not easy to find at any price. The fact they understand the outdoor/action sports world and what drives the men who do that really makes a huge difference. They can speak your language and show you that what you do in the backcountry can be directly harnessed to work in the rest of your life. Really an amazing experience and well worth the cost.
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!
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!
