What is included in the leadership development program?
The program can include interactive workshops, real-world leadership simulations, group exercises, DISC or EQ assessments, personalized coaching, action planning, and reinforcement after training. Participants build core skills in communication, emotional intelligence, decision-making, coaching, collaboration, strategic thinking, and change leadership, with an emphasis on applying concepts immediately in their day-to-day leadership roles.
How does real-time coaching improve leadership development?
Real-time coaching helps leaders adjust behaviors while they are practicing, not weeks later. During simulations, discussions, and coaching sessions, participants receive immediate feedback on communication style, decision-making, influence, and emotional intelligence. This makes learning more practical, accelerates confidence, and helps leaders transfer new skills into workplace conversations and team situations faster.
How long is the Ascent Leadership Academy?
The Ascent Leadership Academy is structured as a 10-week transformational program. It combines practical leadership frameworks, interactive workshops, and real-world coaching to help participants communicate clearly, lead confidently, and improve team performance. The timeline gives leaders enough space to learn, practice, reflect, receive feedback, and apply new behaviors between sessions.
Do participants receive support after training ends?
Yes. Ascent Performance Trainings offers immediate post-training reinforcement over eight weeks. Participants receive weekly emails with key topic videos and reminders that reinforce classroom concepts. Monthly one-on-one coaching sessions provide space to address individual challenges, set specific learning goals, and receive tailored feedback so the training continues producing results after the live sessions.
Can the leadership training be customized for our organization?
Yes. The training is designed to be tailored to each organization’s goals, industry, team structure, and performance challenges. Content can be delivered through multiple integrated modalities, including in-person workshops, virtual sessions, one-on-one coaching, self-paced learning, micro-learnings, and post-training reinforcement. This allows leadership development to align with practical business outcomes.
Is leadership development available online or only in person?
Leadership development can be delivered in person, virtually, one-on-one, or through self-paced options. The online learning platform provides 24/7 access to tailored recorded video sessions, adaptive learning paths, AI-powered content recommendations, virtual coaching, and mobile learning. Live instructor-led micro-learnings are also available as interactive 60 to 90-minute Zoom sessions.
Who leads the coaching and training programs?
Programs are led by Tim Carlisle, Founder of Ascent Performance Trainings. Tim brings over 30 years of proven expertise in sales, sales management, sales leadership, and sales enablement. He has created and delivered training in more than 75 countries, trained thousands of professionals, and built programs for industries including technology, financial services, and oil and gas.
Do participants receive a certificate after completion?
Participants may receive the Proprietary Ascent Performance Training Certificate upon completion, depending on the program structure selected. The certificate recognizes participation in Ascent’s performance-based training methodology and supports internal talent development, professional growth, and leadership readiness. Organizations can also align completion requirements with their own development pathways and performance expectations.
