Ascend: Unlocking Potential Through Strategic Sponsorship and Coaching
Ascend is a scalable leadership development and sponsorship solution designed for populations who are often over-mentored and under-sponsored. Ascend goes beyond skills building.
The gap that the broken rung creates makes it more difficult for some to find success. Ascend, a scalable solution for under-sponsored talent, teaches how to gain access, opportunity, and build relationships.
Ascend's pillars:
1. Corporate: high potential talent who don't have access.
2. Business to Consumer: hi-po talent who need sponsorship.
3. Unemployed Talent: coaching for their next role.
Success is measured through promotions, visibility, sponsor engagement, retention, and expansion of networks over time.
