How to Create your Career Compass in 3 Phases

Self-Discovery and Personal Assessment

Our journey begins with Phase 1, where we dive deep to understand your current state using scientific assessments, setting the stage for a personalized growth path.

Skill Development and Transformation

In Phase 2, the magic unfolds as we analyze your assessment data to devise a bespoke action plan. This phase is dedicated to aligning your daily grind with your passions and ambitions, giving you a clear vision of your upgraded self – your 'Version 2.0'.

Implementation and Goal Achievement

Phase 3 propels you into action towards concrete, measurable goals.

Our program is built on a foundation of self-discovery and personal growth, beginning with self-assessment and mindfulness to identify personal and professional aspirations. From there, we transition into skill development and transformation, aligning personal growth with professional IT skills through practical exercises and networking. The journey culminates in implementing these skills and achieving set goals, with a strong emphasis on continuous learning and leadership development in IT.

Bio

My own professional journey mirrors the challenges faced by many in the IT field. Despite competence and confidence, I often felt like an impostor, battling self-doubt despite accomplishments. This feeling intensified when faced with adversity – a broken leg followed by surgery, job loss, and the pandemic's economic downturn. But these setbacks didn't break me; they fueled a fierce determination to reclaim my agency and find fulfillment.

My approach

As I was taught, as I was bred, my worth isn't measured in dollars and cents. It burned with the intrinsic fire of learning, of growth, of movement down a path I created.

That's why I created Ascend IT Strategies. It's not just a business; it's a testament to the mindset, the action of doing, and movement down your own path. It's a haven for IT professionals, especially those from underrepresented communities, who face similar doubts and challenges. Ascend IT Strategies is where, they can build their own paths, brick by brick, fueled by their own intrinsic fires.
