We’re Nadine & Derek Nicholson, founders of Ascend Leadership Co. We guide powerhouse founders and CEOs out of the Middle Zone of overwork, time guilt, and decision fatigue — while climbing to never-before-seen levels of success.

Our clients refuse to settle for business success at the cost of their personal freedom and are ready to embrace a new way of leading themselves, their time, and their team. NOW, not someday. 

Using our proprietary framework, the Impossible Freedom Equation, Ascend clients go from feeling overworked and overwhelmed, to having more time, more focus, and more revenue.


The sooner you identify your biggest leadership gaps, the faster you step into a business that fuels your freedom, not one that consumes it. In less than 5 minutes, the Impossible Freedom Quiz will reveal your best next step.
