“When my CEO asked me to started working with Jeff Garrett at The Ascent Performance Group, I thought to myself, “I don’t need a coach! What is he going to do to help me?!?” The question I ask myself now is, “Where would I be if I had started working with Jeff sooner? Maybe I’d be a CEO by now!!” Jeff has a measured approach and an incredible ability to ask the right question to reveal the work I needed to focus on to improve my performance that I wasn’t going to realize by merely being self-reflective. He has been a steady influence to hold me accountable and work with me on areas of improvement to make me more efficient, more focused, more empathetic, and a better leader to my team. I feel more empowered and confident to consider taking the next step in my career when that CEO opportunity comes along.”

“As a small business manager Jeff has really helped me focus on what my plan for the future is and held me accountable to the goals that I have for my organization and employees.”

“I was working an average of 60 hours a week. Since I began coaching I am currently at 45-50 hours a week. I am able to achieve more in less time.”

“I have known Jeff for over 20 years, he has always been a friend that has a deep personal interest who truly cares about others and their long term development. He is a coach who can live up to the task of helping his clients reach their full potential and accomplish their business and life goals. Over the years and many coffee meetings I have learned a tremendous amount from Jeff about being a better business person and living a more meaningful and fulfilled life. I am grateful for Jeff Garrett!”

“I have known Jeff Garrett since the early 1990’s and then had the opportunity to work with him in 2016.  Jeff is a great man of faith and character and I have not had someone invest their personal time the way that Jeff did for me.  Work, Life, Balance has always been a struggle for me, as I am a bit of a perfectionist.  Jeff helped me put together goals that stretched from 7 days, to 30 day, to 365 day to what do I want to be remembered for when my time on earth has ended.  “Accountability is key”.

I would encourage anyone that wants to dive deeper into how they can be better as an employee, employer, wife, husband, parent, grandparent to invest in themselves by doing some one on one coaching with Jeff Garrett.  He lives what he teaches and succeeds in his passions.”
