A 9-Month Mastermind for Women Ready to Lead from the Inside Out

If you're a high-achieving woman who's outgrown everyone else's playbook, let me be clear: This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about transforming how you show up at the table.

The Reality Check

Let's be honest about where you are right now:

You've achieved what most people only dream about. The career, the respect, the influence. From the outside, you're crushing it.

But here's what's really happening: The strategies that got you here are now exhausting you. The drive that fueled your rise is burning you out. The responsibility that made you reliable is preventing you from resting.

You know something needs to change, but not in that "let me try another productivity hack" way. In that fundamental, "I need a new approach to success entirely" way.

What makes Ascend different

Ascend was designed for women who are done with surface solutions and ready for transformation that actually sticks.

This isn't about adding more to-dos to your already packed schedule. It's about understanding what's really driving you - your thoughts, behaviors, and blind spots - so you can create success that energizes rather than depletes.

We use the Enneagram as a powerful tool to accelerate self-awareness and growth, revealing patterns you've been blind to and opening pathways for real change.

 

Why can’t you do that?

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.

Here’s how it works:

Over 9 months, we transform how you think, act, and feel through:

Enneagram Assessment & Application - Understand your core motivations and blind spots

Bi-Monthly Group Coaching - Live training and Q&A focused on specific themes each month, from leadership presence to sustainable success strategies

Monthly 1:1 Coaching - Personalized guidance to address your specific challenges and accelerate your growth

Weekend Retreat - An immersive experience to deepen connections, integrate insights, and create breakthrough moments

Dedicated Community - A private space for ongoing support, accountability, and celebration between sessions

 

This Isn't For Everyone

Let me be clear about who this is for:

  • Women who know they're capable of more but feel constrained by their current approach

  • Leaders who want their external success to finally match their internal experience

  • High achievers ready to build success that doesn't come at the cost of wellbeing

  • Those willing to look at their blind spots, even when it's uncomfortable

And who this isn't for:

  • Anyone looking for quick fixes or surface-level strategies

  • Those not ready to examine what's really driving their patterns

  • People unwilling to be challenged on their assumptions

  • Anyone expecting transformation without doing the inner work

 

What Participants Experience

I don't make life-changing guarantees. What I do promise is a space where real transformation becomes possible. Past participants have experienced:

  • Pattern Recognition - Identifying the automatic thoughts and behaviors that have been holding them back, often for decades

  • Identity Evolution - Shifting from achievement-based worth to values-based leadership

  • Authentic Confidence - Developing the ability to trust themselves rather than constantly seeking external validation

  • Sustainable Success - Creating achievement that fuels rather than depletes them

  • Leadership Presence - Showing up with impact that comes from genuine alignment rather than forced authority

No nonsense approach

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.”

Hi, I’m Kelly!

Yes, I’m a high achiever coach and team dynamics expert. 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.

“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

Answers to your questions…

  • It’s for ambitious women. Usually, ambitious women are very successful - but it’s coming at a price. They are settling for not feeling their best, living with anxiety, overwhelm and crap ton of self doubt, and giving up their own wellbeing to do all the things. Yes, this is for you. Because if I had to guess, there are opportunities to think better thoughts, set better boundaries and get clear on those goals so that you can go even further in your career/business. 

  • Absolutely! This mastermind is an excellent opportunity for your organization to get you support to work on professional development and soft skills. There have been a number of women in the past who have been able to get this support and I encourage you to do that.

  • First, excellent! It's wonderful to learn that organizations like you're are supporting women who want to grow in their career.

  • You can absolutely do that and as a participant in this group you'll receive a very affordable hourly rate to add sessions.

    You'll also have access to me via our group channel and through Voxer.

  • First, this is a common thought. As soon as you think about taking a leap like this your brain starts to tell you that you aren’t good enough. And friend, that’s just not true. 

    If you have held back on scheduling a call with me because you’ve decided you aren’t good enough or don’t belong, I want to encourage you to rethink that. If it isn’t the right fit, I’ll tell you. But don’t count yourself out before you learn more. 

  • It includes the 2.5 days we will be together and a couple of meals. You will be responsible for your stay as well as travel to Las Vegas.

  • YES, 1000%!

    Many women who have participated in Ascend over the years have built incredible personal and professional relationships. They continue to get together regularly and many have done business together and/or helped with career growth and connections.
