Ascend Consulting provides executive coaching for CEOs, senior executives, and mid-managers and teams to upgrade executive presence, emotional intelligence, and communication<\/em> to expand success throughout the entire company.<\/h3>\n\t

We’ve been delivering professional executive coaching services<\/strong><\/a> since 2002 in middle to large organizations across sectors and industries. Ascend Consulting has experience in pharmaceutical executive coaching<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0healthcare executive coaching<\/strong><\/a>, as well as leadership coaching<\/strong><\/a> in financial services and property management, to name a few. Our clients appreciate our authenticity, warmth, confidentiality, and practical approach that we bring to the coaching relationships.<\/p>\n

Executives typically\u00a0excel at strategizing and setting the vision. At times, however, their listening and collaboration are incomplete, so leadership teams lack direction and empowerment. Executive coaching\u00a0provides a safe space to think, inquire, self-reflect, and receive feedback. Time to discuss critical professional issues with a trusted advisor expands the executive’s self-awareness, so they try out new strategies to listen, inspire, collaborate, and empower. Real-time leadership coaching and shadowing enable executives to recognize blind spots and take immediate action to hone new strategies that greatly improve their effectiveness.<\/p>\n

Coaching also helps leaders and business owners be more productive. As they gain strategies to focus, prioritize, and delegate, their time management improves as does their overall effectiveness.<\/p>\n

As personal effectiveness and communication improve and trust increases, organizational culture is transformed, innovation thrives, and companies see results!<\/p>\n\t
