Pocket COO is for business owners who need to 🙆🏻 remove themselves as the bottleneck in their business, 🧑🏾💼manage & run their business (while staying out of the weeds), and🧑🏻🚒 spend less time fighting the "fire of the week" — and more time actually doing the priority work that gets them to their goals. Remember: these are private 1:1 sessions — I tailor each session to acknowledge and honor each client's individual business and challenges.
"Karen truly supported me in delegating and releasing ownership of pieces of my business that do not need me meddling in them to provide time, space, energy and creativity for the the things that only I can do, and what I love doing the most.
If you want to learn a proven process to get out of your own way so your business can evolve and flourish without you micromanaging every aspect, this is for you!"
- Nancy Levin Master Coach, Bestselling Author
"I’m in the process of growing my business and was in desperate need of some COO guidance. The weight was lifted off my shoulders knowing you would be helping with some of the things that seemed to overwhelm me just to think about."
- Abigail Adams Principal/Owner, A2 Land Consulting, LLC

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I bring questions/issues to the sessions?
Yes! The kick-off call has a set agenda, but there's always room for us to discuss anything you want — and our semi-monthly calls are usually full of discussion and problem-solving. All operational and team issues are on the table: Strategy, tactics, team issues, KPIs, new ideas, old ideas, financials, planning, etc.
Do we meet at a set time?
Yes, the semi-monthly 1-hr sessions will be a regular, repeating meeting. This keeps us on a regular cadence. Let’s pick a time that will consistently work for you. (Of course we can reschedule if you’re going to be away.)
The 30 mins 🆘 Session has its own scheduling link, and you get short-notice access to my calendar whenever possible.
What can we do over Slack?
Advice, commiseration, support, clarification, floating ideas, venting, cat gifs. I’m here for it all.
What’s the refund/ reschedule/no-show policy?
Once we get started, there's no refunds or pausing (except for true emergencies), even if sessions go unused.
If you need to reschedule the regular meeting, please notify me in advance, and definitely 48 hours ahead of time. If we’re inside the 48 hour window, and I’m not able to accommodate a reschedule request, the session will go unused for the month.
No-shows mean the session is forfeit, and too many of them may mean this program isn’t a good fit. We can see what works for what you need.
Do unused 🆘 sessions roll over?
No. SOS sessions are to be used within each 30-day period and do not roll over. This is so I can offer short-notice assistance to anyone who needs it — without over-booking myself or inconveniencing anyone.
Can I customize this a little?
Why not!? Shoot your shot. Tell me what you’re thinking.
