Partnering with leaders to build organizations that amplify impact

I help leaders of non-profit organizations and socially-minded businesses navigate the challenging stages of growth so they don’t have to travel the road alone.

Every leader faces an up-hill climb when seeking to launch, turnaround and scale their organizations.

I work with mission-minded leaders who find themselves & their organizations:

  • Staying busy but not staying on track

  • Out-growing their existing business model

  • Ready to scale but without scalable systems

  • Struggling to bring in revenue

  • Trying to upgrade systems and structures while fighting competing priorities

  • Too close to the details and in need of outside perspective

  • Doing it all alone

If that’s you, let’s talk. I can help you:

  • Get clear on what you need to do to get where you want to go

  • Build or revamp your business model

  • Set or clarify your long-term strategy

  • Build your organization’s structure so you can build a thriving organization

  • Facilitate your leadership team & board to make critical decisions and get on the same page

  • Define, implement and scale processes

  • Align your team to take committed action

Operating without clear strategies, structures and systems that align and empower teams is painful and costly.

Financial costs

Organizational costs

Missional costs

Stop spinning your wheels.

"What was apparent when I first met Karen was that she was a very incisive, strategic thinker. What I didn't know immediately was how much value she could bring in a short amount of time.

She takes the time to really get to know you and your organization, and applies the concepts and strategies that will specifically help you experience clarity and breakthrough. Any organization or business wishing to level up would benefit from working with Karen."

My name is Karen Cole, and it is my passion and gifting to come alongside leaders to remove the strategic, structural and systems barriers that inhibit them from starting, expanding and scaling their organizations. I have been consulting with social businesses and non-profit organizations in the United States and around the world for over 12 years, and I’d love to discuss how I might partner with you!

I would love to have a conversation with you about where you want to go and the roadblocks in your way.

Don’t go the journey alone.
