The interview
What was your life like before joining Ascension Leadership Academy?
Five months ago, my life was great, but I felt like there was something more available for me. I was tired of doing the same thing and expecting different results, and nothing was changing.
How do you feel now after completing the training?
I wake up every day feeling fulfilled and excited about my life. My life has meaning and purpose, and I feel driven to create massive impact in the world.
What was your experience like transitioning into Level Three?
My journey in ALA level three was tumultuous in the beginning because I felt like I had learned so much in level one and level two that did I really need level three anyway? It gave me this really great opportunity to shift from an old pattern, which my pattern was run away. Instead, I leaned into commitment.
What was your biggest takeaway from the program?
My biggest takeaway was that I am powerful beyond measure. I realized that everything I set my mind to was possible. Not only is it possible for me, but I'm worthy of it, whatever it is.
How did your perspective on 'enrollment' change during the training?
I came into level three anti-enrollment; I thought, why do these people want me to market for them? I left level three a maniac on a mission. I was enrolling everyone and their mother, even my ex-boyfriends, because I recognized that this program is all about transforming lives.
How did the program impact your creative career as a musician?
I recognized that I was dimming my light. I started to record music, and in level three, all the timelines I had imagined for myself were just collapsed. I found a producer, we recorded five songs in three days, and my songs are on Spotify. I even had a concert produced for me with 80 people there.
What does the ALA community mean to you?
It is a community where I belong, where my people are. It's for people who want to change the world and are deeply committed to personal development, coming together towards a common vision to create leaders who are affecting positive impact.
Frequently asked
Is Level Three of Ascension Leadership Academy necessary if I finished Level Two?
Marni Pogachefsky initially questioned if she needed Level Three after learning so much in the first two levels. However, she realized that her hesitation was an old pattern of 'running away,' and staying for Level Three led to her most powerful life experiences.
What if I am uncomfortable with the 'enrollment' aspect of leadership training?
Marni entered the program 'anti-enrollment,' viewing it as unwanted marketing. She later realized that enrollment is actually about evoking a vision in others and transforming lives, which she now applies to every area of her life.
How does ALA help with creative blocks or procrastination?
Marni found that by setting clear intentions and using the tools provided, she could 'collapse timelines.' She moved from years of dimming her light to recording five songs on Spotify and having a concert produced for her by a new connection.
