Leadership Coaching for Executives & High-Potential Employees

The 70-20-10 rule is a widely referenced framework for employee development suggesting that roughly 70% of learning comes from on-the-job experiences and real challenges, 20% from coaching, feedback, and interactions with others, and 10% from formal training programs. Ascent Performance Trainings reflects this principle by combining immersive workshops, simulations, and real-world application with personalized 1:1 coaching, feedback, and action planning, supported by structured post-training reinforcement to help leaders apply and sustain new skills directly in their roles.

Executive coaching costs vary widely based on coach experience, program length, session format, and organizational scope. Many executive coaches charge by the hour, package, or leadership development engagement. Ascent Performance Trainings does not list standard pricing because programs are tailored around leadership goals, participant level, delivery format, reinforcement needs, and desired business outcomes.

The 7 C's of executive presence are often described as confidence, clarity, composure, credibility, connection, communication, and charisma. Together, they influence how leaders are perceived in high-stakes conversations, presentations, team interactions, and change initiatives. Coaching helps leaders strengthen these qualities through feedback, practice, self-awareness, and intentional communication habits.

Leadership coaching is ideal for executives, emerging leaders, high-potential employees, sales leaders, managers, and professionals preparing for broader responsibility. It is especially valuable when leaders need to improve influence, communication, emotional intelligence, decision-making, team performance, or strategic execution. Programs can be customized for individuals, cohorts, or organization-wide leadership development initiatives.

Program length depends on the format and objectives. Ascent Performance Trainings offers options such as the 10-week Ascent Leadership Academy, 60 to 90-minute virtual microlearning sessions, one-on-one coaching, classroom workshops, and eight weeks of post-training reinforcement. The structure is designed to support both immediate skill application and sustained behavior change.

Ascent Performance Trainings offers Three Levels of Leadership Mastery. The Base (Foundational) level covers leadership identity, emotional intelligence, DISC personality insight, communication, trust-building, and ethical decision-making. The Core (Intermediate) level focuses on coaching others, conflict resolution, situational leadership, influence, and change management. The Pro (Advanced) level addresses strategic thinking, executive presence, organizational culture design, succession planning, and inclusive leadership. Each level earns a Certificate of Completion.

Ascent Performance Trainings is led by founder Tim Carlisle, a globally recognized performance expert with over 30 years of expertise who has delivered training programs in more than 75 countries. The programs stand out through their practical, immersive methods combining real-world frameworks, simulations, and assessments with personalized coaching, and their commitment to lasting results through eight weeks of post-training reinforcement that includes weekly videos, AI-powered reminders, and monthly one-on-one coaching sessions.

Programs begin by assessing each leader's current capabilities, communication style, emotional intelligence, and development priorities. Ascent Performance Trainings uses tools such as DISC and EQ assessments to establish a clear baseline and create a personalized learning path. This foundation ensures that coaching, workshops, and training activities are aligned with both the individual leader's growth areas and the organization's measurable business goals.
