“We believe that most families hold the promise of greatness – we are here to help them to realize that promise.”

Our Core Belief:

When a family culture is vibrant, everyone flourishes. When it is resilient, the family thrives for generations. As it matures, the wider world benefits. We believe that most families hold the promise of greatness, and we are here to help them realize that promise.

Our Work:

Our clients are complex, multi-generational families facing core adaptive challenges. We egage them at the intersection of love, money, and power - helping to catalyze their cultures in ways that  support individual well-being, promote a flourishing family ecosystem, and empower contributions toward a better world.  Our work allows them to unfold capabilities and capacities that not only resolve today’s problems but also equip them to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

Working with us:

If you are looking at this page, it is likely that you were referred to us. We are a highly selective sought after practice that works with a small handful of families and family offices. We typically work with no more than four families at a time.  Every situation is unique and we only engage when we believe we  can realistically foster healthy cultural evolution. Please know that our services are bespoke and designed specifically for individual client situations, so our list of services on this site is of limited value. 

If you are interested in learning more, please reach out and, if we have immediate availability, we will initiate a focused process designed to mutually determine whether it makes sense for us to work together. In retaining Ascend, you will be working with an internationally recognized thought-leader and sought-after practitioner with a track record of bringing deep wisdom and centered compassion to the development of your family.
