VALUES

At Ascend we deeply believe in chasing your dreams, that is why we came up with our five core values commitment, humility, ambition, selflessness, and effort which combine to stand for the acronym C.H.A.S.E.

COMMITMENT

Once you get involved with an activity, in order to be good at it you must sacrifice time and energy. Many people aren’t getting the results they want because they are only half way in or just dipping their toes. In order to achieve what you want we know that we must be fully committed in doing whatever it takes to get the desired outcome. The quality of your dedication will determine your outcome.

null

HUMILITY

Often when athletes achieve the goals they have set themselves, they start feeling superior and this leads them to forget certain values that have in all probability helped them to achieve those very goals. We all know that once we achieve one goal we need to keep working to maintain the goal or to reach the next goal. Humility is about knowing one’s values, and maintaining them even in situations where we are clearly superior and more successful.

null

AMBITION

The desire to achieve a goal and to hope to improve every day is an essential characteristic. This value involves a web of values such as excellence, patience, discipline, order, motivation and responsibility. Indeed, ambition invokes and requires a broad system of values and, in turn, is related with a job being done well. Regarding targets, ambition is probably the surest way of achieving them, for it is the impulse to grow.

SELFLESSNESS

In society we often see and hear from the media athletes being touted for their extraordinary skills and natural abilities. In many cases the media fails to present the people that play a big part in the team’s greatness because without the role players there would not be any success. We all know now that Messi is one of the greatest players of all time but without being able to put the team before his own needs he would not have achieved what he has achieved now. This is why great teams need the interaction or cooperation of different agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate efforts.

EFFORT

There are many reasons to believe that luck plays an important part in winning or losing, in attaining or failing to reach your goal. However, luck is often fleeting and momentary. Effort in contrast, is a value that can take us to unthinkable heights and lead us to achieve targets and objectives that may at other times appear distant or inaccessible. For us we believe in that the harder you work the luckier you will get but you need to put in the time and effort.
