Why Ascended

Mission: We transform the way organizations work with Gen Z by delivering actionable insights, systems, and leadership training.

At AscendED, we create accountability systems that strengthen organizations and drive measurable results. As experienced educators and leaders, we design performance management and organizational effectiveness strategies that fully engage every level of your team. Leveraging our unique understanding of Gen Z, we help you unlock the potential of your emerging workforce and lead with confidence across generations.

About Us
  • “I felt like the materials and topics covered were so, so valuable regardless of job title, or tenure with the company, or even amount of time in the general workforce.”

  • “The content was provided in a way that I left feeling both challenged (and convicted) about my own fixed mindsets, areas I've been unjustly offended, or timid to confront things that I need to do differently and also validated about the things I am doing well even if I don't do things perfectly.”

  • “I really appreciated the restructuring of how we approach receiving feedback during the growth mindset session. It was both helpful and insightful, and I also appreciated incorporating specific terminology that was industry specific in your examples.”

  • “Great engagement and good energy. ‘Accountability is love.’ - That is so well said and so desperately needed in what seems like just about everywhere. P.S. - It's been a minute since I have seen slides that polished.”

Choose Your Solution

  • Our tiered packages provide end-to-end support, from identifying priorities and designing custom accountability systems to delivering leadership workshops and ongoing optimization. Explore how each package is built to drive sustainable growth across your organization.

    If your Gen Z employees expect praise just for showing up or believe they deserve a raise for doing the bare minimum, there is a reason.

    The schools trained them to act this way.

    In many schools “no zero” policies meant students received partial credit simply for being on the roster. Currently, some schools have gotten “tougher" by at least requiring students to turn in anything at all, but the lowest score allowed for a submitted assignment is a 50 regardless of quality or timing. Effort has become optional.

    Now you are experiencing the consequences at work.

    This is not a motivation issue. It is a training issue, and it is costing your business in productivity, culture, and performance.

    At AscendED we work with executives to rebuild a culture of accountability that actually works. We do not blame Gen Z. We acknowledge the systems that failed them and design practical tools that develop ownership at every level.

    If you are tired of dropped balls missed deadlines and low engagement, it is time for a better approach. Book a strategy session with our team today and take back control of your culture.
