Wendy has become more than a coach to me, my business and my working relationship with my wife/business partner. She has become a trusted advisor, a friend and, as I like to refer to her, my fractional CEO. She's helped put my leadership team on par with our vision for the company, she's trained us how to monitor the health of the business, how to better communicate with each other, how to identify and reslove small issues before they become big ones. With Wendy's guidance I feel like all 4 tires are digging in and driving us forward. Thanks Wendy. Looking forward to see what you help us achieve next.

As a business Owner, it is hard to know where to turn for good advice, guidance, and seeking accountability. I have worked with a number of peer groups and coaches in my 28 years at the helm of my business. Most often, these reinforce what we already know about ourselves - but even that is helpful.

For the past several months, I have worked with Wendy at Ascend. Yes; there is reinforcement of what I already knew, along with paths to correction and leveraging the same for greater performance and success. More uniquely, Wendy has been able to probe and gain a deeper understanding of the foundations of my business (and personal life) for some extremely insightful "Aha!" observations. And from those, as she indicated to be her specialty, make suggestions to implement plans which fit my personal operating style, and are incrementally improving my business and personal life.

I look forward to continuing the journey toward better serving our clients, as well as enriching my own perosnal life, through working with Ascend Coaching Solutions.

I highly recommend Ascend Coaching Solutions. Wendy is an amazing Business Coach. I have been working with her since 2018. Since that time our company has increased in revenue, clients and team members. I believe this is a direct result of Ascend Coaching Solutions.

Wendy considers the 'whole' person and all of life's activities. She has not only helped me focus more on the business, but in life in general. She has taken me from 'managing' my business - digging in daily to all of the activities involved, to becoming a CEO - focused on the bigger picture and overall health of the company and team.

Thanks to Ascend Coaching Solutions I may be able to exit one of my companies this year and turn it over to a manager in order to put more time and energy into my other business and calling. I'm so grateful for Wendy and her 'Solutions' to help continue to grow. She has active steps, not just the 'feel good' approach but real in-depth viewing of ourselves and our businesses. I cannot recommend this company enough. I know she is able to help any business not just take it to the next level, but continuing to take further and further.

I have been working with Wendy for the last 16 months, and I honestly don't know where I would be without her! She has helped me to identify the parts of my business I truly love, narrow my focus, sell and close out my brick & mortar store front and define what it will look like moving forward. She has also taken the time to provide me with the tools and resources to do so along the way.

Over the last six weeks, she has helped me pivot from the model we had spent a great deal of time developing to one that is more suitable to the current economic environment (and situation).

Wendy has helped guide and coach me through a difficult year filled with a number of life events and transitions, both professionally and personally. She has been an absolute God send! I am looking forward to seeing where this next leg of my journey takes me as I do my launch in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait to see where we go next! I am so grateful to have her by my side and privileged to be the beneficiary of her vast experience and expertise. We've only just begun!

I can't say enough about the help I've received from Wendy. She always has ideas or ways of thinking that I never even thought about! She showed me some areas to tweak and her wisdom and expertise guided me into a much better position where my business is thriving now. We are steadily improving financially and have goals in place for future plans too. I couldn't have done it or survived especially after COVID if not for her.

Ascend Coaching is a true asset to any business. The experience and knowledge Wendy brings to the conversation is unparalleled. Our company has been transformed by her counseling and in-depth business knowledge. She brings a fresh perspective to any conversation and problem which you may or may-not see. I would, and do recommend Ascend Coaching to anyone who has a willingness to be better in business and life. If you have any thoughts of doing better…. just say "YES, Please!"

Wendy Dickinson is uniquely skilled as a coach in both the psychological aspects of leadership/business management and in the very granular details of business operations. Rare to find those skills in any two consultants much less one person who can apply her skills brilliantly in both areas.
