You’ve done everything you thought you should do.
But success doesn’t always feel the way people say it will because… 

At Ascentim, we help leaders move beyond the success and “shoulds” that have defined them so they discover their greatness, lead boldly, and live fully — on purpose.

You’re meant for more.

To build and lead an agile organization, it’s crucial that senior leaders develop new
mindsets and capabilities to transform themselves, their teams, and the organization.

— McKinsey

When Was the Last Time You Asked Yourself
What You Want, Not What You Should Do?

You've Done the Work. Now It's Time to Lead From Your Greatness.

You’ve built a career others dream about — bold moves, big wins, rising stakes.

But lately, clarity feels further away… even as the pressure keeps climbing.

You feel the tension between:

  • Success vs. Significance
  • Achievement vs. Impact
  • Relentless Pace vs. Real Purpose


Carrying that weight while performing at your best is exhausting.

You don’t need another cookie-cutter plan.

You need a personalized path forward — one that honors your values, unlocks your next level, and helps you lead boldly.

Without burning out what makes you great.

That’s where I come in.

I'm Lisa L. Baker Lisa L. Baker

I spent more than two decades leading high‑performing teams at Bank One, Citigroup, Microsoft, and Synchrony.

I rose through the ranks, delivering results and leading multi‑billion‑dollar portfolios.

From the outside, I looked successful. And I was. But that wasn’t the whole story.

Behind the scenes, I was navigating personal and professional challenges even though I had done everything I thought I should do.

Through faith and perseverance, I rebuilt my life by discovering my Area of Greatness™ and defining success on my own terms.

That clarity changed everything. It led me to create Ascentim.

Now I help leaders remember who they are beneath the expectations and move Beyond Success™ so they reclaim themselves, redefine success, and rise to their greatness.

Everyone has an Area of Greatness. When you lead from that place, you become your most powerful and authentic self.

I would be honored to help you find yours.

“Despite being well compensated at a highly prestigious company, I had been feeling stuck in my career for several years… Lisa helped me regain my confidence and recognize my unique skill set that set me apart from others. I will be forever grateful for the transformation that Lisa helped me achieve.”

What's Really Holding You Back?

Even the most driven leaders can find themselves stuck, not because they lack ambition, but because what used to work no longer serves who they’re becoming.

You might be:

Achieving...
but not fulfilled

You’re checking boxes, hitting goals, and making it all look easy. But achievement can feel empty when it’s disconnected from who you’re becoming.

Leading...
but questioning your impact

You’re in charge, but something is missing. Even the strongest leaders lose clarity when purpose gets buried under pressure and performance.

Progressing...
But Growth Feels Like a Grind

You’re moving forward, but the pace is relentless. When growth costs too much, it’s a sign to pause, reconnect, and choose a path that honors you.

If this sounds familiar, know this:
Here’s what becomes possible when you stop playing small: 

You lead from your Area of Greatness™ with clarity about who you are, a strategy that aligns with your values, and the energy to bring it to life..

That’s how your success becomes significant and sustainable.
