Human Transformation + Organizational Alignment = Sustained Success
At Ascent, we resolve communication challenges and align leadership where it actually lives — in the human dynamics between leaders and in the systems that shape how they work together.
Most consulting firms address either interpersonal or organizational problems.
We address both, simultaneously.
When leaders shift at the personal level and the business structures around them support that shift, collaboration becomes natural — and success becomes sustainable.
The Ascent Framework
Two Experts.
Two Critical Lenses.
One Unified Outcome.
Our work is powered by the combined strengths of two specialists, Terri and Gabby, who meet interpersonal, communication, and leadership challenges from different angles — and integrate them into one powerful solution.

Terri Wilber
Fractional Chief Mindset Officer
Terri works at the human level of leadership — where conflict takes root, communication breaks down, and stress erodes trust.
Her work clears the personal barriers that prevent leaders from collaborating with clarity, confidence, and emotional steadiness.
Terri specializes in:
-
Executive-level conflict mediation and reset conversations
-
Shifting reactive patterns into grounded leadership
-
Uncovering subconscious drivers of tension
-
Increasing emotional regulation, trust, and psychological safety
-
Coaching individuals through leadership challenges
-
Teaching advanced communication skills
-
Empowering leaders to show up with clarity instead of fear or frustration
Where others facilitate dialogue, Terri transforms the humans in the room, dissolving patterns at the source so leaders can move forward with presence, self-awareness, and genuine partnership.
Gabby Richardson
Organizational Strategist & Executive Systems Integrator
Gabby works at the structural level — aligning the business mechanics that leaders operate inside so collaboration becomes effortless and conflict loses the conditions that sustain it.
She connects human behavior to operational realities, ensuring the organization reinforces — rather than undermines — leadership alignment.
Gabby specializes in:
-
Diagnosing systemic patterns and bottlenecks that create friction
-
Designing clear decision-making structures
-
Clarifying roles, authority, communication channels, and expectations
-
Analyzing culture drivers, incentives, and unspoken norms
-
Coaching leaders to link behavior to business outcomes
-
Building systems that make collaboration the default, not the exception
Through Gabby’s lens, leaders don’t just feel better —
they operate better because the ecosystem finally supports success.
Together:
Human & Systemic Transformation
Ascent offers a dual approach capable of addressing both the human and
operational layers of conflict. Terri transforms the human dynamics. Gabby
transforms the organizational dynamics. Together, we turn conflict into clarity —
and clarity into sustained business revenue.
Most consultants focus on one domain:
-
People or process
-
Behavior or infrastructure
-
Communication or governance
We deliver all — simultaneously.
Terri develops the people.
Gabby realigns the organization around the people.
Together, we create change that lasts.
This dual-lens approach means:
-
Conflict resolves faster
-
Alignment sticks longer
-
Decisions move forward instead of looping
-
Teams feel the benefit downstream
-
Business outcomes improve naturally
We don’t “fix a moment of conflict” nor do we "solve a single process that is not working."
We restore alignment and embed it into the organization’s culture, strategy, systems, and day-to-day work.
What does this ensure?
Our corporate partners get more functional partnerships, smoother interpersonal interactions, and organizational structures that support strategic growth.
Terri transforms the human dynamics.
Gabby transforms the organizational dynamics.
Together, we turn conflict into clarity — and clarity into sustained business success.
