As 2022 comes to an end, and I look back to the year that has been, having Vicky's support and expertise has been invaluable. As a small business owner navigating the landscape post pandemic, the use of profiling tools for me as the business leader has allowed me to better understand my behaviours and ways of communication. This has helped me immensely in creating a positive culture with my team and has helped me make the right choices when recruiting new team members. Knowing yourself helps you understand others - that is the true wisdom that Vicky has helped me master - a skill not only for business but also for life. Thank you, much gratitude.

Vicky certainly knows her stuff...I had a session with Vicky where we looked at my business goals from a mindset stance and together we quickly identified an issue with them! Since my session with Vicky I've redefined my goals and as a result feel they are totally achievable. I was so impressed with Vicky and her knowledge and approach that we are now working together in my MasterMind Business where she will be delivering a three hour goal setting session to all my members.

​“Vicky delivered a session on Emotional Intelligence for Business to our Enterprise Programme students. She’s a brilliant speaker – engaging, refreshingly honest, and has a great energy!”
Sharon Brown, Owner Lydian Events Ltd., Founder Revival Sanctuary

I recently asked Vicky to do a workshop on Emotional Intelligence at our #mo2vate women’s retreat in County Durham. It was such an insightful and interactive session, I loved it as did the attendees. Vicky is very knowledgeable and injects a great sense of humour into her work. I would highly recommend Vicky and you should consider booking her for workshops, coaching, speaking and doing her EI assessment which is excellent.

Creating a resilient team at UCL, Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction

Following a period of organisational change, Ascend was asked to deliver workshops to help a multi-disciplinary team to better understand how the mind works, learn techniques to overcome stress and anxiety, and become more resilient and cohesive to help achieve their aims. The School Manager said “Vicky from Ascend did a great job in energising my team, helping them understand each other better and giving them tangible techniques to take away. She is an engaging and highly professional trainer.”

This workshop was just a mastery. I had a pleasure to interact with Vicky on her EQ workshop and I have to admit that the way she created the atmosphere of trust and cooperation in the room was remarkable. Her confidence added the power into the room and all the exercises she gave to the audience were spot on. I look forward to more workshops like this.

Excellent company to work with and Vicky is so knowledgeable in her subject. I recently completed an Emotional Intelligence Assessment with Vicky and she really took me through my paces, explained everything really clearly and provided me with insight on how to improve on various areas. I'd highly recommend Vicky to work with as she's approachable and an excellent communicator.
