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 read a great article on Change Management (Read It) this morning.  I will be using principles from it most definitely in leadership training programs that I conduct from now on. The point of the article is that the managers of companies are always excited to implement change, but rarely does that change  become sustained. It usually leads to a period of excitement, and then a reverting back to old habits. One of the main reasons she said this happens is because of a lack of focus on the “soft” side of change implementation. Read the rest of this entry »

Brandon has a unique approach to his team building sessions. His passion for helping people challenge themselves is refreshing and will serve both managers and employees alike. I would highly recommend Brandon if you want to your staff to think beyond the obvious and become more creative and critical thinkers.

-Mark, Team Building Participant

Our company partnered with Ascent because of their leadership expertise and knowledge. Shortly thereafter, we asked Brandon to participate in our monthly speaker’s series…he blew the roof off! He was well prepared and very “keyed” into our audience. The attendees not only learned something but had a great time learning! I highly recommend Brandon’s company!

-Deidre Hughey, BuzzBuilder

One of the most common issues that I see arise among the groups in team building and leadership development programs that we facilitate is that managers begin to realize that they need to make changes in the way they organize and structure their days and tasks so that they can more effectively manage their teams.

Here are some great key points of application that I have seen teams develop:

Apex, NC USA May 1, 2009 — Ascent Adventure Consultants is about impacting people’s lives and setting them out on the journey and adventure of a lifetime: when people experience climbing a cliff face, they are instantly aware of the existence of a whole new world; when people engage their fellow teammates or employees in a team building activity, they realize the greater degree of unity and success their team could be experiencing.
