You’ve built success—but now you’re building something deeper.
Ascend was created for high-performing entrepreneurs who are ready to step beyond the hustle and into purpose-driven impact. Founded by Kate Danese, a seasoned real estate investor, MAPS-certified coach, and former Keller Williams partner, Ascend exists to help you align your business strategy with personal fulfillment—without sacrificing results.
We don’t believe you have to choose between profit and purpose.
You can have both. We’ll help you build it.
Who We Work With
Ascend supports experienced real estate professionals, coaches, and business leaders who are:
Ready to pivot into coaching or expand their personal brand
Already achieving—but no longer feeling fulfilled
Craving deeper meaning, clarity, and community
Done with surface-level tactics and chasing the next shiny thing
Looking for a proven process to package their expertise and serve at a higher level
Whether you're launching a premium offer, building a scalable program, or finally claiming your voice online, we're here to guide you.
About Kate
Kate Danese brings over a decade of experience in real estate sales, investing, and operations—having sold over $300M in real estate without paid ads and built a $500K coaching offer in year one. But her greatest strength isn’t just in what she’s done—it’s in how she sees people.
Kate blends tactical business strategy with somatic alignment, energy leadership, and emotional clarity to help you:
Sell before you build
Grow organically
Lead from alignment—not burnout
Turn your lived experience into your legacy offer
She’s not here to throw you into another funnel. She’s here to help you come home to your mission—and monetize it powerfully.
What We Believe
Clarity creates momentum
Authenticity outperforms algorithms
Your nervous system is your strategy
Faith fuels business growth
You are the niche when you're fully expressed
Why Ascend

We’re here to help you rise into the next version of your leadership, lead with integrity, and scale your impact with systems that feel like you.
