Karie Kaufmann

My purpose is . .

to help leaders and businesses fulfill their true potential

I believe that being in business should give you more life, and not suck the life out of you, which is why I’m focused on helping you achieve the results you’re after.

I’ve coached over 1,000 businesses since 2005, using the Scaling Up and ActionCOACH frameworks, and a ton of real-world experience.

You can count on me for:

  • Help developing your roadmap to results
  • Masterful coaching to help you work through challenges
  • World class growth tools that have been tested and proven by thousands of businesses around the world
  • An approachable style, and just enough sass to call you out when you need it – making the journey more fun

How we do it:

  • 1-on-1 coaching for business owners and executives
  • Facilitation of strategic planning retreats
  • Public and private business growth workshops
  • Keynote speaking and panelist for conferences

Our clients are:

  • Coachable, open to feedback, learning and new approaches
  • Growth-minded, and want a framework to help you get there faster
  • Ready to work differently, and retire the “lack of time” excuse
  • Friendly. Competitive. Likes tacos.

What we stand for (our core values):

  • Honor your creator by living out your potential
  • Win at what matters, and let go of the rest
  • Collect experiences and learn from them
  • Leave people and businesses better than we found them
  • Live what we teach, by learning and applying to ourselves first
  • Excellence in everything we do, because our clients deserve it
