Experiences of complexity and transition are underserved. We know. We were those underserved leaders and teams. That's why we've built something different.
The Anchor and Ascend Institute is designed by leaders for leaders to support every dimension of the professionals we serve, offering:
- Custom Executive & Professional Programs
- Psychotherapy & Integrated Clinical Programs
- Premium Purpose-Built Organizational Solutions
We leverage our decades of leadership experience, research and best practices to dive deeper in engagement-based, custom programs that support not only organizational performance, but the human experience of leadership.
Every program, service, and offering is co-designed and built for you and your team, for leaders who carry more than just a title.
Our programs are deployed across corporate, private, public, and government sectors, as well as professional associations — with a single aim:
"Enable leaders to sustain performance without sacrificing themselves or the human systems that make performance possible."
What Makes Us Different
Anchored in Customization
Programs are custom-built to your unique needs. Leveraging emerging best practices, we co-design with your team so that the content and application reflect the real conditions your leaders are navigating.
Engagement-Based Practice
Designed to keep leaders actively involved with applied practice, peer exchange, real-time reflection, and facilitation that responds to the room, not a slide deck.
Developed by Leaders & Experts
Professional performance and human well-being are interdependent; as a result, our programs leverage an integrated team of developers, including business leaders, executive coaches, clinicians, and change management experts, to deliver experience for the whole leader.
Evidence-Informed, Not Just Experiential
Every program integrates best-practice change management, adult learning science, and neuroscience-informed psychological frameworks. Rigorous design. Real-world application.
Built for the Complexity You Actually Live In
In complex, changing environments, our tailored programs offer unique supports for your specific situation, organization, and professional mix.
Integrated Structures for the Whole Leader
We structurally integrate leadership development with access to licensed clinical services, including psychotherapy, social work, and naturopathic medicine, within a single, cohesive model.
