If you're a high-achieving woman working to grow in your career while juggling more than your share of ‘stuff’, then let me be the first to say—

You are a true badass.

Achieving this level of success is rare; maintaining it is even more uncommon. To seek new strategies when the old ones stop working, build the right support network, push for new opportunities when your professional ambitions demand growth, and adjust to a changed world?

That is no small feat.

It took tireless effort to get here, and your journey is far from over - but I know that despite your resilience and strength, you're tired.

You know that in order to keep achieving, some things have to change.

How do we continue to push through barriers and rise to new levels when we are low on energy, frazzled with all the to-dos and lacking confidence?

Not prioritizing your own self-care and wellbeing as you pursue your career aspirations
Lacking self-awareness about your strengths and areas for growth in the professional sphere
Struggling to communicate effectively, assert boundaries, and negotiate in the workplace
Fearing to take calculated risks and make bold career moves due to a lack of confidence
Finding it challenging to build and nurture meaningful professional relationships
Feeling overwhelmed and stressed due to a lack of effective stress management and resilience-building practices
Neglecting to develop crucial soft skills such as leadership, emotional intelligence, and effective communication

These challenges are common among high-achieving women striving to reach new levels in their careers.

How would focusing on your well-being and overcoming personal obstacles affect your career success?

Here's the thing—
Changing habits and behaviors to improve your professional success can't always be as simple as following a set formula.
Balancing self-awareness, personal growth, and professional achievement is imperitive for anyone who wants to ascend.
There are no one-size-fits-all solutions that work for everyone; trial and error is often the best way to find the right approach.
Effecting lasting change requires accountability and support from a community of like-minded individuals striving for similar goals.
But one thing is certain in today's landscape...

If you want to achieve those big career goals, you're going to have to focus on a holistic approach to success.

It'll take showing up for yourself, taking your health and wellbeing off the back burner, and admitting you’re ready to play BIG.

This year at Ascend, we’re all moving from numb and complacent to owning every area of our lives unapologetically. We’re diving deep into intentional growth, making sure we truly understand ourselves, and nurturing our wellbeing to fuel our career dreams.

Good news: I happen to be great at guiding ambitious women through this journey of ditching the burn, rest, repeat cycle, identifying those monsters in the closet holding them back, and supporting them in achieving big goals.

One thing I've learned is that we grow faster when we work together, when we focus on nurturing deep relationships, and partnering with people whose work we respect. We uplift each other on our way to the top. Let's grow and succeed together!

Ascend was designed to help women reclaim their power and realize that they’re the greatest authority in their life. The only thing that’s separating you from the life you truly want, is being forced to color in the lines. Let’s scribble together.

When I first talked with Kelly about Ascend she challenged my goals right from the start and asked the simple question, “why can’t you do that?”
I’m so glad I joined, because one of the greatest things to come out of it was that I came to learn and understand that I’m in charge of how I think and feel. Kelly doesn’t push you to avoid the downturns, but to learn how to manage them - and that has been a game changer for me.
Our work challenged me to focus on my what I want for myself, and when I started to question my ability to make it happen (and my scary goals!), the group always showed up to support and encourage me to keep going.
— Erica Grunwald, Dentist/Business Owner

This year's cohort of Ascend is about growing together, using the latest strategies from the Personal Development and professional development space

In addition to all of the important conversations about who we are and how we behave, manage our stress, build resilience, and enhance our overall wellbeing, we'll talk about:
Strategies for setting and achieving goals that align with your core values and your personality and tackle those blindspots and fears that are holding you back
Effective communication and conflict resolution to support you in leadership and as you build and support your team
Practices and self-care strategies to support personal and professional growth, (with or without added time commitments)
Consent-based approaches for building self-awareness and emotional intelligence
.... plus we'll talk about how and which of those strategies to try, given that your schedule is, most likely, already very packed (mine too).

Hi, I’m Kelly!

Yes, I’m a career strategist and wellness coach. And a Certified Enneagram Practitioner. Yes, I lead individuals, groups and organizations to their success.
But also? I’m a badass mental health ninja. I’m not one of those people who blows steam up everyone’s ass only to leave you hanging on a thread of “what’s next.” I actually fully embody the importance of prioritizing mental health and wellbeing while working towards personal and professional growth and change.
Because when you feel good, you can do a hell of a lot more.
My mission is to ensure that you never feel like an empty shell carrying only remnants of “what could’ve been”. Now, more than ever, the world needs vibrant, empowered, and pioneering women who are dedicated to making a difference.
Women who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo, break barriers, and define new norms. Women who are committed to putting in the work because they understand their own value and worth. Women who are ready to lead the way, because this is the world that emerges when women choose to rise.

I’M READY TO ASCEND

When you join Ascend, you sign up for what others have deemed my “no nonsense approach”

Not only do you get Kelly (me) in your corner, you'll be standing alongside other women who understand the unique challenges you face every single day.
An incredible group of compassionate, driven individuals who will hold you accountable as you declare and work towards your goals, appreciate who you are and what you bring to the group, and support you as you go.

Here‘s a sneak peek into what’s included:

Enneagram Assessment (plus 1 for your partner, colleague, family member, friend):

You’ll complete the assessment and we will utilize the information gained in the report throughout our time together to help you work through old patterns and behaviors, become aware of blind spots, improve communication and productivity and tailor your goal (and goal strategies) to fit your unique personality. Trust me when I say this tool is a GAMECHANGER. Not familiar with the Enneagram? Read more here.

(2) Monthly Group Coaching Calls:

Both training and Q+A calls that cover all the key areas you’ll want to work on to show up (and feel your best) everyday. Each month will have a specific theme/area of focus that we are working on.

(1) Monthly 1:1 Coaching calls:

Within our private group, there will be sharing, support and celebration. You’ll have access to your community of sisters whenever you need them. So much happens within this space and the peer-to-peer support is like nothing else.

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 the Group 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.”

Here are some big outcomes of joining Ascend

I don't make life-changing guarantees. This mastermind will deliver a mix of outcomes, some of which will be obvious, and others less so – and they might not be the specific ones you expect when you sign up. This is often the case with masterminds.

🧩Learning how to ditch overwhelm and anxiety so they can show up each day focused and energized

🎉Getting honest about the struggles they are experiencing so they can once and for all move through them and create more freedom in their lives

🧠Having major ah-ha's when it comes to ingrained behaviors and beliefs that are holding them back and wreaking havoc on their health (and then creating new ones)

🙌🏼Developing the courage to take risks in their career and well-being - even in the midst of life

🚀Creating their own definition of “success” and creating an action plan to achieve it without feeling exhausted and afraid

🔥 Taking the soft skills learned to get after those career goals and sharing those skills with their team and colleagues at work

I’M READY TO ASCEND

“You are playing small”— among the most honest and powerful words any friend, mentor, or coach has ever said to me. And it has been these insights in my work with Kelly that have really inspired me to look deeper and aspire for more, both personally and professionally. Now I believe that it’s okay for me to want the things I want.

— Kimberly Kindig, CEO of Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Nevada

I looked forward to every session and learned more about myself and how to stop dragging my feet and ignoring 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 group for anyone ready to jump into the potential that already exists in each of us.”
— Holly Reese, Director of Community Support Services, The Center

It’s time for us to put you back in the driver seat.

There is no shortage of books, coaches, and programs ready and willing to deliver to you a pre-made roadmap on how your life and career should look and feel.

You won’t find that here.

That’s because I don’t get to choose what lights you up in your life, no one does. That’s a power I need you to take back today.

While we’re at it, let’s shrug off some of those additional “roles” you’ve been hiding under. The perfect wife, the perfect mother, the perfect friend, business owner, sibling...the list could go on couldn’t it?

Yes, you’re wearing plenty of hats, but you can’t fool me. Underneath trying to show up as what everyone else needs is the person you truly need to be for you. She hasn’t gone anywhere. She’s just patiently waiting for you to give her the green light.

How do you do that? That’s where our work together comes in.
