ASCENT Promise of Leadership


The Promise of Leadership Workshop™ helps leaders start a journey of self-discovery. It helps them find thoughts and actions that may hold them back. This one-day workshop, along with a follow-up coaching session, gives leaders the tools to become much more effective.

Built around The Leadership Circle Profile™, the workshop helps leaders focus on and develop their creative leadership competencies. These competencies have been shown to improve leadership abilities, bring out the best in others, and significantly increase the performance of the overall organization. 

*The Leadership Circle Profile™ and Workshops were developed and are owned by The Leadership Circle®, leadershipcircle.com​​
