—— ARE YOU PLAYING LEADERSHIP WHAC-A-MOLE?
A CEO's dream isn't a bigger job or an endless loop of putting out fires. It's a bigger impact, a team that runs itself, and enough of yourself left over to enjoy it.
—— MEET SARAH

—— FUN FACTS
I work 16hrs a week.
I'm super allergic to gluten.
I grew up in the woods.
My clients call me brilliant.
My friends call me a badass.
My child calls me annoying.
My sailing crew calls me captain.
I'm a #1 international bestselling author, the host of the Inspired Nonprofit Leadership podcast, I race a J/80 sailboat, and I'm a single mom to a neuro-spicy teenager. I have a BA from the University of Chicago in International Studies and an MPS from SUNY New Paltz in Humanistic Multicultural Education.
For over two decades I've built and run all kinds of organizations, including multiple nonprofits, a café and art supply store, a video production company, a co-working space, and a marketing agency. Along the way I developed the Impact Method®, a leadership system that address team, strategy, and operations as one integrated whole and thus lets organizations grow without sucking the life out of their leaders.
I love building systems that help make a bigger impact and bring joy to the people who benefit from them. Weather it's a comprehensive leadership system or just a simple tweak in a daily routine, I'm into it.
But at the end of the day, my real impact and passion isn't systems... it's brining focus, clarity, and trust to leaders who's organizations matter and who aren't willing to compromise.
—— THE WAY OUT
The One System Truth.
Your team, your strategy, and your operations are one integrated system. Not three. Fix them one at a time and you're playing Whac-A-Mole. Lead them as one system and the whole organization starts to work, without giving up the rest of your life to do it.
In sailboat racing it's all one system — one boat.
Top racers focus on simplifying the system, great communication, and continually adapting to new information. Organizations are the same.
