Expert Leadership Development Assessment & Training Course

The Ascent Performance Trainings leadership development course follows five results-focused phases: (1) Assess Leadership Strengths and Gaps using DISC or EQ tools to establish a clear baseline; (2) Align Goals with Business Outcomes by connecting training objectives to real organizational needs; (3) Build Skills Through Immersive Learning via workshops, simulations, role plays, and the online learning platform; (4) Apply Learning with Coaching Support through personalized coaching, feedback, action planning, and downloadable tools; and (5) Reinforce Growth for Long-Term Results with eight weeks of post-training reinforcement including weekly videos, reminders, and monthly coaching sessions.

A leadership development assessment is a structured evaluation that helps leaders understand their strengths, communication style, emotional intelligence, decision-making habits, and development gaps. In this course, tools such as DISC or EQ assessments support deeper self-awareness and create a practical foundation for coaching, workshops, feedback, and leadership action planning.
