Corporate & enterprise training
Ascend Leadership Institute designs training for corporate teams in Chicago — executive coaching, leadership development, team building, change management and diversity training.
Network diagram · Five training lines
01 — The lines
Each line is a training program. Take one on its own, or connect two at a transfer point to build a sequence that fits where your team is heading.
One-to-one coaching for senior leaders who need a confidential space to think through decisions, direction and the pressure that comes with both.
Line A · Individual and small group
Cohort training for managers who are building the habits of leading people, not just managing work.
Line B · Manager cohorts
Working sessions for intact teams — the ones who share a deadline, a budget or a customer — rather than generic away days.
Line C · Intact teams
Support for the leaders carrying a restructure, a new system or a new strategy — and the teams absorbing it.
Line D · Leadership teams
Practical training for managers and teams on how inclusion actually shows up in meetings, decisions and hiring.
Line E · Whole teams and managers
02 — Transfer points
Most teams need more than one program. These are the combinations we build most often — each one starts with your goals, not a fixed curriculum.
Pair one-to-one coaching for a senior leader with a manager cohort, so expectations and language land the same way at every level of the organisation.
When a team is reorganising, we rebuild the working agreements first, then plan the change with the people who have to carry it.
Inclusive leadership woven into manager training, so the practices are built alongside the everyday skills rather than bolted on afterwards.
03 — Timetable
Four steps from the first conversation to the follow-up, with your team involved at every one.
A conversation about your team, the goal you are working toward, and what has already been tried.
We shape the line — or the combination — around your goals, your calendar and the people in the room.
Facilitated sessions with your team, run by our coaches and built around what came out of discovery.
A review of what shifted, what stalled, and what your leaders want to keep practising.
Standalone or as a connected sequence
