Ascend Self Leadership Program

87% of people who work globally, do not enjoy their jobs (Gallup Survey 2023). They literally have already quit their jobs and only show up for the paycheck. This is a common problem I identified amongst the majority of the workforce that I managed over my two decades of people management.

The other key challenge identified from practice was that 8 out of 10 individuals we interviewed, had not originally pursued the course for the career they are currently pursuing. This communicated to me that there is a huge challenge around how we prepare and choose careers.
