Testimonials

"If you asked me to use one word to describe Bill and his impact on leaders, I would struggle to pick just one. I could go with “passionate” because when it comes to cultivating leaders of the future, everyone that works with Bill can feel his passion for development. It wouldn’t be hard to choose “Accountable” as the one word either. Bill is a man of action and conviction. When Bill and the Ascent team work with your program in any fashion, they not only meet expectations but they over deliver! 

I could also go with “blessed” as the work that our team did with Ascent was culture shifting and we have seen the development of our guys in real time. I couldn’t recommend Ascent Leadership Consulting more, it has been a pleasure to work with Bill and his team!"

"Bill’s presence and energy with the group of HS student athletes is electric. He possesses the ability to reach the students in an experiential, thought provoking way by inviting them to share their perspectives and experiences through movement and discussion. He applies his deep knowledge through his lens of coach and educator throughout, really nailing down key points around leadership and the skills and information young athletes need exposure to, which in turn will better themselves as teammates and as individuals."

"Bill has a way to relate and engage with the students that feels personal and thoughtful. It is clear how passionate he is about his work, and it truly shows with the energy he brings to his sessions. It is contagious and really helps to pull the students into the conversation, making it about them."
