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
If your team is unclear about your strategy, your clients and donors are, too - and “confused customers (and donors) don’t buy.”
Organizational costs
If everyone on your team is not moving with you they are driving against you. Organizational inefficiencies waste time and money.
Missional costs
Failing to build a cohesive plan & team prevents you from achieving your mission - and ultimately hurts the people you serve.
Stop spinning your wheels.
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!
