Wildedge ascension
A six-month Scale Altitude container for founders navigating the messy middle
Who Ascension Is For
Ascension is for founders whose businesses look successful from the outside yet feel harder than they should on the inside. Revenue is established, clients are being served, and a team exists, but leadership feels heavier than it needs to be.
You are no longer fighting for survival. You are scaling something real. However, the growth has amplified everything. Decisions take more energy. Visibility feels loaded. You find yourself pulled back into operations more than you would like. The clarity you once had has become diluted by pressure, complexity, and responsibility.
This is the messy middle. Ascension is designed specifically for this stage of the founder journey.
The Stage You Are In
At this altitude, you are no longer the obvious bottleneck. You have already built something substantial. The challenge is no longer whether the business works. The challenge is whether it works without costing you unnecessary energy.
The traits that helped you build the business can begin to limit how you lead it. Over-functioning becomes control. High standards become micromanagement. Self-reliance becomes isolation. The founder identity that once drove growth can quietly compress it.
Ascension exists to recalibrate leadership at scale so the business can grow without eroding the person leading it.
The WildEdge Altitude Framework™ at Scale
Ascension applies the WildEdge Altitude Framework™ at the Scale Altitude. The same four levers are used across all WildEdge programmes, but here they are applied to the complexity and pressure of growth.

WildEdge Environmental Shift™
We use deliberate changes in environment to interrupt reactive patterns and restore perspective. When you step outside your habitual operating context, you regain access to strategic thinking and long-term clarity.
This is not aesthetic coaching. It is structured cognitive reset. By shifting terrain, we shift thinking. By shifting thinking, we shift decisions.
WildEdge Leadership Identity System™
Scaling amplifies identity patterns formed much earlier in life. If you once felt you had to prove yourself, you will now overwork. If you once feared exposure, you will hesitate at visibility. If you once kept the peace, you may now struggle to enforce boundaries.
We identify the unconscious leadership pattern shaping your decisions and results. We then consciously rework it so that authority, visibility, and self-trust are grounded rather than performative. Leadership becomes authored rather than reactive.
WildEdge Capacity Protocol™
Insight alone does not create sustainable change. Your nervous system must be able to hold the complexity you are asking the business to carry.
We expand leadership capacity so you can regulate under pressure, make clean decisions in uncertainty, and remain steady when revenue, team dynamics, or visibility fluctuate. As capacity increases, reactivity decreases, and leadership stops feeling heavy.
WildEdge Business Architecture™
Messy middle founders rarely lack ambition. What they often lack is structural stability at the next level of growth.
We refine decision rights, clarify leadership roles, strengthen boundaries, and reduce unnecessary founder dependency. The business architecture becomes aligned with the leader you are becoming rather than the version of you who built it in the early days.
What Changes As A Result
You do not leave Ascension energised for a week and then back where you started. You leave with internal coherence.
You make decisions without spiralling because you understand what you are making a situation mean and can separate story from fact.
You stop tolerating dynamics that drain your energy because your boundaries are clear and enforced.
Visibility becomes intentional rather than reactive because you are no longer negotiating your worth internally.
Six months later, what remains is not just momentum but direction. Leadership feels steadier, cleaner, and more aligned with who you are becoming.

This Work Is Not For Everyone
Ascension is not for those seeking shortcuts, guaranteed outcomes, or someone else to take responsibility for their decisions. It is not for founders who want reassurance without change.
It is for leaders willing to meet themselves honestly and allow their leadership to evolve from the inside out.
The Deeper Promise
When leadership is aligned, success becomes sustainable. Decisions become cleaner. Energy returns. The business begins to feel like an expression of your authority rather than a structure you are constantly managing.
This is scale without self-erosion.
What People Are Saying
“Working with Claire has changed how I walk into a room.
I feel invincible”
Juliet Ralph, CEO & co-founder, Robinson Ralph
"Claire is incredibly talented at helping values-led business owners find their power.
I first began working with Claire when I felt rudderless and unable to find my path.
Her unique skillset (business coach, business owner and authentic leader) helped me to find my own clarity and purpose again.
For any purpose-led entrepreneur out there who is running a business, who feels they are playing small and need to find the courage to break away from the herd and find their own path, I strongly recommend working with Claire"
