Retreat Summary

In partnership with local LifeSuccess Coach Leslie Flowers (www.lifesuccessleslie.com), Ascent Adventure Consultants is presenting the LifeVenture Weekend Retreat in Cary NC. The event will be held at Homewood Suites in Cary NC, where participants will spend the night Friday evening, and  then spend all day Saturday  in the program. This is a unique event and the first of it’s kind in the USA. Leslie Flowers is an international motivational and inspirational speaker, teacher and coach and was tapped by former LifeSuccess Consulting President Paul Martinelli as an emerging leader in the personal and leadership development industry. Brandon Hensinger of Ascent Adventure Consultants works with groups of business people and professionals across the country to help them develop their leadership, management, and communication skills through experiential team building and training.

The weekend retreat begins on a Friday night, lasting until Saturday evening, and combines Leslie’s excellent LifeSuccess teachings, with experiential training and application by Ascent Adventure Consultants professional team building and training facilitators, to help participants learn and apply the principles being taught.

Leslies passion and teaching focuses on helping people to understand the human performance gap — why we don’t do what we already know to do — how limiting beliefs stand in the way of our success, and what is required to narrow that gap in short order. Her teaching also focuses on connecting people with their infinite potential and purpose. The principles and practices learned through her teaching sessions will be the focus of the experiential training aspects of the program, conducted by Brandon Hensinger.

I thought it would be helpful to share some quick ideas this morning on how to squeeze in climbing training into a busy schedule. Ideally, all climbers would be able to climb 4 days a week, workout most days, etc. But in reality, for most climbers life is too busy to make that a reality. I thought I’d share some quick ideas on how to fit training into your schedule. For the sake of keeping this article short, refer to TrainingForClimbing.com, and PodClimber.com to get details on what some of the workouts I refer to are. Read the rest of this entry »

Danny has true field experience, and it shows in his teaching style.  I have taken too many first aid and CPR classes directed towards the corporate setting where the instructors had no field experience and had just been through the classes to be certified to instruct.

This morning I was browsing the internet reading various articles on training for climbing, and I quickly came to realize that no one out there is stressing the importance of training technically for climbing. All the emphasis is on the physical side of training. I am included in that group! I always write about physical training, but rarely do I stress the importance of technical training. While it is a routine part of my weekly schedule, I always forget to teach that principle to others. So I wanted to write this morning to suggest adding the following things to your weekly routine: Read the rest of this entry »
