Real Results from Real People

"I came to Ascent feeling completely stuck after 12 years in the same role. Within three months of coaching I had a clear direction, a plan, and the confidence to execute it. I'm now six months into a new director role I genuinely love."

"The ROI on our investment in executive coaching has been extraordinary. Team productivity measurably improved, two high-potential leaders are now in senior roles, and our retention numbers are the best they've been in a decade."

"The mentoring programme matched me with a mentor who understood my sector and my challenges without me having to over-explain. It was like having a wise, experienced senior colleague to talk to every month. Transformative."

"I was preparing for my first board position and felt significantly out of my depth. The executive coaching programme built my confidence, sharpened my strategic thinking, and gave me tools I use every single day."

"I attended the Resilience at Work workshop expecting it to be generic wellbeing content. It was anything but. The science behind it was solid, the facilitation was excellent, and I left with practical strategies I actually use."

"Fiona at Ascent is an exceptional career transition coach. She helped me through a redundancy that felt catastrophic and came out the other side with greater clarity about what I actually want — and how to get there."

"The team development programme delivered through Ascent was the best investment we made this year as an organisation. Our leadership team's dynamics improved visibly, and we haven't lost a single senior person since we completed it."

"I've worked with three different coaching providers over the years. Ascent is in a different league — in terms of professionalism, the quality of challenge they offer, and the genuine warmth they bring to what can be a vulnerable process."

"As a woman returning to work after three years, I needed more than a CV workshop. Ascent's career coaching gave me back my professional identity, helped me reframe my experience, and gave me the strategy to re-enter confidently."
