What is virtual leadership training?
Virtual leadership training develops essential leadership skills through online formats such as live Zoom workshops, micro-learning sessions, coaching, recorded lessons, and digital reinforcement. Ascent’s programs focus on communication, emotional intelligence, decision-making, collaboration, strategic thinking, coaching, and team leadership so participants can apply the learning directly to daily management situations.
How long does the virtual leadership program take?
The Ascent Leadership Academy is structured as a 10-week program. Additional reinforcement may continue for eight weeks through weekly emails, AI video reminders, practical application prompts, and monthly one-on-one coaching sessions. Shorter live micro-learning sessions are also available in 60 to 90-minute online formats for focused leadership topics.
Is the training live, self-paced, or both?
Ascent offers multiple integrated learning modalities. Participants can join live instructor-led Zoom sessions, complete recorded video modules through the 24/7 online learning platform, participate in one-on-one coaching, and receive post-training reinforcement. This blended approach supports different schedules while keeping learning interactive, practical, and easy to apply.
Can this training be customized for our organization?
Yes. Ascent Performance Trainings customizes leadership development around your team’s goals, industry, participant roles, and performance challenges. Programs may include leadership frameworks, DISC or EQ-style self-awareness tools, group exercises, simulations, coaching, and action planning to ensure the training connects directly to your workplace realities.
What leadership skills are covered?
Core topics include clear communication, emotional intelligence, confidence, coaching skills, decision-making, strategic thinking, collaboration, team leadership, change management, and inclusive culture building. The goal is to help managers lead with clarity and influence while improving accountability, engagement, and performance across their teams.
Do participants receive coaching after training?
Yes. Ascent’s reinforcement model can include monthly one-on-one coaching sessions after the primary training experience. These sessions help participants address individual challenges, set learning goals, receive tailored feedback, and strengthen the practical application of new leadership behaviors in real workplace situations.
Will participants receive a certificate?
Participants may receive the Proprietary Ascent Performance Training Certificate upon completion, depending on the program structure selected. This certificate recognizes completion of Ascent’s results-oriented training experience and supports internal development records, leadership growth plans, and professional learning documentation.
