Move Fast. Execute Clean.
Make an Impact.

Every business owner's goal is impact, but the hidden work of leadership is turning goals into action. Deciding what is a priority, not just once — but continually, daily.

I have systems and support for you to do just that.

A Bit About Me…

I’m Karen Sergeant. I’m a born optimizer. I’ve rarely met a system I haven’t wanted to deconstruct and rebuild.

This makes me annoying at build-your-own-taco nights (!) but it makes me a valuable partner for business owners who are at the cusp of next-level growth, who need need an expert hand to remove bottlenecks and maintain traction on their priorities.

In the last 10+ years, I've managed businesses of 6, 7 & deep 7 figures — and I know what can go wrong as they scale! I've handled and solved these problems, over and over.  

🔐 I have a real knack for picking-the-lock on tough operational issues. I'd rather prevent a fire than fight one — so I focus on spotting issues before they become problems.

🚏I have a "systems brain" where I see upstream sources and downstream consequences. This means I identify and solve the real problem — and don't create any new ones when I do.

🤹🏼 I keep folks & teams on track. I believe that managing distractions and protecting priorities is the Hidden Work of Leadership — and I have evidence-based tools & frameworks for you keep the main thing the main thing, reach your goals and achieve the impact that you want.

Sure, growing comes with growing pains, but they shouldn’t be a ceiling on what we can achieve — at the very least, the upper limit shouldn’t be coming from inside our own team.

I can help you simplify team management, turn your growing pains into growth plans — and reclaim the business you've always wanted to build. Let's get started.

"Karen has made such a difference at our company from the day she walked in.

We had ambitious growth goals, but weren't seeing traction on them — and internally, we didn't have consensus on what the problem was. Karen came in, assessed where we were — and offered both a strategy and new tactics for moving forward. We began quarterly planning sessions and a new meeting cadence, we focused on a handful of metrics that mattered most for our business, and we re-scoped the leadership team positions and found our dream candidate for each.

Now, the business is firing on all cylinders, we just passed an important milestone, and — best of all — I feel so invigorated by our vision and mission once again!  

It's like I have the dream team that really understands my vision and what I need, and Karen was such a huge part of making it happen. I'm so grateful for her wisdom, for her kindness, for her good sense of humor, and for sticking by my side during this really challenging time. I could not have done it without her and I'm just so grateful! "
