Explore what Ascend Professional Pathways has to offer...
Our industries are ripe with innovation: new products, services, and companies launching faster than we can effectively understand them, let alone broadly implement them and see a meaningful impact. It may seem overwhelming for company leaders and their staff to properly deploy new systems and see the return before something else pulls our attention away to a new possible solution.
At Ascend Professional Pathways, our philosophy is that it’s not necessarily getting new tools, but sharpening the ones you already have. In most cases, the most reliable tools we often overlook are our current staff.
In this current market, staffing is a universal challenge. Many can relate to issues with rising wages, retention & attrition concerns, employees expecting a more dynamic and flexible experience from the employer, and the company's margins getting ever thinner.
Investing in your current staff and their performance to better navigate these times can be the key to making it though or even out on top. Your edge can include increased investment and personal connections, more staff support, higher job satisfaction, and better skill development to best perform core tasks.
Innovation can only take you so far if you don’t have motivated and engaged staff who understand the nuances of how to get results and are inspired to achieve their goals .
Teams who are happy, personally invested, and find passion in their work can have an advantage over any new and cutting edge program. You don't need to see extensive research to prove that employees who find meaning and purpose in their work and who feel supported will produce better results.
Trust your foundation, trust your staff, provide support, and see the results!

What these programs are:
We deliver interactive, facilitated workshops and training sessions where participants refine specific skills that drive specific results. We work on identifying struggles, challenges, and sticking points that are holding us back and focus on strategies to overcome them. We aim to amplify our talents, passions, and interests as well as developing skills that need improvement.
We’re sharpening the skills you already have, and honing in on new ones to implement. These sessions are collaborative; you are building relationships with colleagues, sharing knowledge, and having fun. We’re identifying key attributes of what gets results and what is needed to enable your abilities, empower you to succeed, and step out of your comfort zone to be able to grow and improve. We promote both individual and team support while emphasizing connections, teambuilding and peer learning.
What this is not:
Long and mundane presentations about theory and ideas where you just sit and watch someone lecture. Learning best comes through experience and application, our programs are designed to get you thinking and creating!
What you can expect:
To be actively participating in thoughtful activities and lessons where you are identifying and developing various skills. Our lessons and activities are based on active learning: being self-reflective and analyzing what is and isn't working and identifying solutions and how to use them.
We're looking to increase excitement and engagement, developing routines and habits that can immediately impact success and results. These tools and materials will be developed in the workshop and are yours to keep. We emphasize peer-to-peer learning and sharing knowledge, experiences, and best practices with each other.
We won’t be providing answers or giving you the solutions because you already have them! Through engaging activities we facilitate a learning environment where we create space for you to discover those answers. The goal is to identify sticking points and amplifying the actions that gets the specific results.
We understand the learning process: how to pique someone’s interest, how to engage a group, how to be relatable, presenting meaningful activities, and how to inspire others. All which make learning most efficient!
Maximize your potential by identifying distractions and focusing on the skills, attributes, and behaviors that enable you to achieve your goals. Develop personality attributes and capabilities to connect with your customers, build genuine relationships, and provide value to your network. A key component to our approach is removing any limiting perceptions and doubts by identifying and developing specific skills and performing specific behaviors that drive results; in doing so we focus on objective actions without assuming what is and isn't working.
It’s a tune up for your existing staff; invest in your current team before finding new resources!
