You’re Built For More
And You Belong Here

Lead Boldly. Inspire Growth. Make Your Mark.

Beyond the Basics
Toward What's Next

You’ve done the courses. Read the books. Earned the accolades.

But something’s still missing.

You don’t need more information — you need elevation.
Deeper. Lasting. Built around you.

At Ascentim, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all advice.

We help high-achieving leaders unleash their greatness — and turn it into bold, measurable impact.

Where Leaders Come to G.R.O.W.

G.R.O.W. isn’t just a framework — it’s a way to lead.

It’s how ambitious leaders rise above overwhelm, break through barriers, and lead with clarity, purpose, and power.

The result? Bold transformation.

Whether you’re navigating change, building a legacy, or amplifying influence, your next chapter begins here.

Where Leaders Come to G.R.O.W

Lisa had amazing tips on how to help create a culture shift. She challenged me to think of ways to remove barriers and overcome some roadblocks.

Coaching Works — The Numbers Back It Up

You don’t have to guess — the data is clear.

Coaching isn’t a luxury. It’s a proven catalyst for leadership breakthroughs, stronger teams, and lasting impact.

Unstoppable. Unshakable. Undeniable.

Because when you lead from your area of greatness:

You become
unstoppable.

undeniable.

Your Success Is Just the Beginning

There’s no doubt you’re successful. Now it’s time to unlock what’s next.

Whether you’re building on hard-won wins or stepping into brand-new territory, one thing is clear: what got you here won’t get you there.

The next level demands more…

More vision.

More courage

More of your true self

The stakes are higher. The challenges, bigger. The spotlight, brighter.

When the room is quiet and all eyes turn to you — will your leadership rise to meet the moment?

We empower you to confidently answer, “yes.”

Very helpful framing my narrative, my story and challenging me to flip my interpretation of events and therefore how I show up as a leader.

We also work with entrepreneurs building empires without compromising what matters most.

What unites them?
– The courage to grow.

We’d love to work with you, too.
If you’re ready to lead boldly, live fully, and be unapologetically you — this is your place.

Let’s partner to create the impact you’re meant to make.

I'm Lisa L. Baker Lisa L. Baker

Founder | Executive Coach | Speaker

Think of me as your Visionary Mirror — reflecting back your brilliance and helping you see what’s possible beyond the pressure.

I coach high achievers to quiet the noise of doubt, break free from the mold of “should,” and lead with bold authenticity.

My clients are driven. Brilliant. Hungry for more.

And they refuse to compromise what makes them real in pursuit of their aspirations.

That’s where I thrive — bridging inner clarity with outer success so you don’t just perform at a higher level.
You live and lead there.

I don’t coach from theory. My 20+ years of leadership in Fortune 500 companies — Citigroup, Microsoft, and Synchrony — taught me to lead with heart and strategy.

At Ascentim, I blend emotional intelligence, strategy, and my signature I.G.R.O.W. Framework to help you achieve more growth with less grind.

The results? Measurable. Meaningful. And built to last.

The most powerful leaders aren’t fearless; they choose courage over comfort, every time.

Lisa is a fantastic executive coach! I have worked with her for almost 2 years and she has been instrumental in helping me reach my goals. Lisa is incredibly patient and kind, yet she knows how to hold people. It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.

Lisa Baker has been an incredible mentor & support to me. Her guidance, patience, & genuine care made a meaningful difference in my journey. Lisa took the time to listen, encourage, and share her wisdom…

Why I Started Ascentim

Too many leaders were facing a problem I’d already overcome.

The most talented leaders weren’t failing because of skill gaps — they were fighting invisible battles: microaggressions, impostor syndrome, fear.

And I knew we could do better.

Elevate the leader, and you elevate the culture.
Elevate the culture, and everything changes.

The most powerful leaders aren’t fearless; they choose courage over comfort, every time.
Lisa L. Baker

I built Ascentim—a place where leaders bring their whole selves.

We talk life and leadership.
The wins
The worries
The parts no one talks about

And they leave transformed.

More confident
More powerful
More themselves
