Ascend8

You’re good at what you do. The harder question is what comes next.

Eight experienced peers. Eight weeks. A room built for the career questions that are difficult to solve alone.

What’s taking up space in your head right now?

You don’t need to know the answer before you join.

You bring the question. The group helps you see it from more than one angle, work out what matters, and move toward a decision you can actually live with.

Clarity can be the outcome.
The room

You find your people.

Seven peers who understand the work, without sharing all the same blind spots.

You hear what other senior EAs are doing and suddenly your own capability looks different.

Then somebody says something that changes what you do on Monday.

The right expert is brought into the room for the questions the cohort is actually asking.

Katie took one insight from Anu Lamba back to work, put herself into business meetings, and was pulled into a project.

“This is the day I’ll look back on as the point where things changed.” Founding cohort member
Between sessions

The Zoom ends. The cohort doesn’t.

The meeting in ten minutes. The strange email. The job application. The difficult conversation.

The private chat is where you can ask, “Am I reading this right?” and get perspective from people who understand the role.

“Your little mini cheer squad.” Sarah
