Bold Career Move
Working with Kelly Travis in her Ascend Program was truly life-changing. When I began, I was full of self-doubt—unsure of my next move and lacking the confidence to step into a bigger version of myself. Through Kelly’s guidance and thoughtful challenges, along with the unwavering support of the women in my cohort, I learned to embrace my strengths and lead with authenticity.
Kelly creates a space that’s both empowering and honest. She helped me shift my mindset, trust my instincts, and build the courage I needed to pursue a bold career move. I’m no longer playing small—I’m soaring. If you’re ready to step into your full potential, Ascend is the catalyst you’ve been looking for.

Identify where change is possible and necessary
Generally, as a skeptic, I did not anticipate growth or development through Ascend. I figured I would pay the money; pretend to show up; maybe meet some people I liked; and move on. I was wrong. Full stop - WRONG.
Through Ascend and Kelly Travis' no nonsense approach and determination, I was able to take an honest look at who I was and what I wanted. The work with Ascend was hard and harrowing. Through the process though, I was able to identify where change was possible and necessary.
More importantly, I was able to establish metrics for that change. Kelly was amazing at both hand-holding and ass-kicking. Without reservation, I would recommend Ascend regardless of where a person is in her professional or personal life.

Energy, vitality and a healthy mindset
I started working with Kelly because, as a high achieving woman who knows her health must come first, I needed someone who has an athlete's mindset and who can skillfully coach me to my next level.
As I've shifted my work in a major way over the past few months, I've realized I can do very well professionally and also have energy, vitality and a healthy mindset.
During my work with Kelly and inside Ascend, I’ve continued with and strengthened mindset shifts I had made - and have made swift progress having Kelly in my corner to coach me.
Kelly models the ideal mix of professionalism, compassion and discipline to help you get to where you want to go - not to where she thinks you should go (her methods are not prescriptive) but where YOU truly want to go in your career or business while putting your health first so you can enjoy and celebrate your wins that much more and be available for yourself, your family and others who are important in your life.”

Meaningful Progress
Over the past nine months, I’ve had the privilege of working with an exceptional professional mentor who has profoundly impacted my personal and career growth. From our very first session, Kelly brought a rare combination of insight, empathy, and challenge that pushed me to think more deeply, act more confidently, and grow more intentionally.
Kelly’s guidance has not only helped me navigate complex professional situations but has also significantly improved my self-esteem and belief in my own capabilities. Kelly has a unique ability to ask the right questions at the right time—questions that challenge assumptions, spark reflection, and lead to meaningful progress. I highly recommend the Ascend program for anyone looking for a powerful experience in focusing and motivating your life and career path. If the Ascend program does not work for you I highly recommend Kelly’s individualized services.

I look forward to every session and learn more about myself and how to stop dragging my feet and naysaying what I know I really want to achieve in my personal and professional life.
It's hard being a woman. All the social expectations about taking care of others, not saying no, never being heard, not wanting to be a bitch. We deserve the care, attention and love we give to others so readily. This is the place to figure out how we are getting in our own way and move forward.
I highly recommend this for anyone ready to jump into the potential that already exists in each of us.”
