SUCCESSES
The Leadership Ascent Programs have greatly impacted individuals and organizations for more than 13 years. Read below what that has meant to a handful of Alums.
"I have received the National Diversity Champion Award at Wells Fargo Wealth Management Group. I was selected due the efforts I am leading with various women’s programs at the bank. I am sharing this with you not because I am blowing my horn, but because these efforts are a direct result of my participation in Leadership Ascent. I will always be grateful for the things I learned about myself and my leadership potential."
Maureen Kelly, SVP - Wells Fargo
“It slows the game down such that I see more of it in real time.” This is how I like to describe the transformation I underwent by fully embracing The Leadership Ascent for Men program. Armed and confident through quality instruction, facilitation and coaching, all intended to not only teach but to exercise and reinforce, I am far more prepared to respond to the ever fluid demands of the workplace for the benefit of the team and the organization. I am focused, and operate at a higher level today.”
Martin Valence, Director - Century Link
"The Leadership Ascent is a highly impactful program that explores so many facets of leadership. The coaches and facilitators are best in class and you will become a better leader after your first day! I have only been in the program for 3 months and have already made an impact on my job, specifically by implementing what I have learned through studying Emotional Intelligence and the output from the EQ-i assessment. I have also been implementing a change management model as my organization evolves. This is one investment you should make!”
Stacey Hawes, Executive Vice President - Epsilon
"The program evoked the skills I knew I had inside to better demonstrate my leadership capabilities to my organization. I successfully applied what I learned to leading a team of over 50 individuals over a 9 month period. We exceeded our project goals and found over $1.5M in savings for the business! I learned invaluable lessons about what it takes to motivate and inspire a team and how to work with all types of individuals. The dividends from my experience in the program continue today!”
Katie Domenico, National Accounts - Johns Manville
"My biggest challenge as a leader was the belief that most of the barriers to effectiveness were related to time management and organization. The Leadership Ascent for men has taught me otherwise. Today I feel I am on the path to a profound transformation in my own leadership style and abilities."
