Note from philip

My passion is to help people become who they are made to be.  I would love to encourage, coach, teach, lead, and motivate you to be all that you are designed to be and to help you discover what lies deep within.  Any ascent requires a plan of action, adherence to the plan, accountability in the journey, and people to help you reach the top.  That’s why I formed Ascent Leader Development.  I want to help you on your ascent.
