I help female founders
get what they want.
You built a business that was meant to give you your life back. Somewhere along the way, it started running you instead.
Now you want one of two things. To step off the front line and let it run without you. Or to walk away from it well. The road to both begins in the same place.
Book a consult callYou are somewhere on this line.
Two women find me. They look like opposites. They are not.
You crossed three million and felt the ceiling. The revenue is real and so is the bottleneck, and the bottleneck is you. You cannot hustle your way through this one. You want the business to grow without you carrying every load.
You built it, you scaled it, and you are done. Now you want out. Sell it, hand it over, or close it cleanly. You are not sure which, and there is a lot to sort before it becomes something someone would want to buy.
Different mile markers. The same road.
The work is the same for both of you.
You cannot get paid by a business that needs you every day. You cannot sell one either. Nobody buys a job. So no matter which one you want, the work comes first. And the work is the same for both.
I call it the Straight LineSee what is slowing you down
Right now, everything runs through you. We find the spots where you have become the holdup, including the ones you cannot see yet.
Change your job
You stop doing everything yourself. We figure out the few things only you should do, and get the rest off your plate.
Build it to run without you
The right people. Simple systems. Decisions that get made when you are not in the room. The business runs on its own.
Decide what you want
Now that the business runs without you, you get to pick what comes next. There are two choices, and they are both good ones.
The fork
One road. One last step.
Run it without you
Keep the business. Let it pay you and grow while your hands come off the front line for good.
Leave it well
Hand it over, sell it, or close it as an asset worth every one of the years you poured into it.
Whichever door, the same road got you here.
In their words
Kris thinks about who I'll be at 50, even though I'm 33. She's making sure I'm doing things today that I'll be grateful for in 20, 30 years. It's not about solving right now. It's about building a life I can actually live for decades. That kind of foresight changes everything.
I noticed a real shift in how I respond to challenges. A situation that would have sent me into a panic eighteen months ago now gets handled with calm breaths and practical solutions. Being part of Kris's community of women has made me a profoundly better CEO and person. This work came late in my career, but it's completely transformed how I operate.
There is a room where this happens.
I am not here to sell you a program. I am here to tell you I have the answer. It is not a tactic. It's an identity.
Sage is the room. A private coaching partnership with me, and small, powerful gatherings together.
You already have the wisdom you need. Most of us just lose sight of it, or stop believing what is possible. Together, we remind you that you are not doing it wrong, and that wherever you are as a founder, you can still make the changes that get you what you want now.
The business was never the real work. You are.
There's this point you get to as an entrepreneur where you've been doing this forever, you've made a lot of money, and you reach this place like, "Now what?" Being able to come together with women who are all in the same space, to see you're not alone, and to have Kris walk you through where you're going in your life and where your business fits into that, is what keeps me coming back. I just hit 170 employees. I would never want that many employees without Kris Plachy in my life.
Why me.
Kris Plachy
I have spent thirty years teaching people how to lead. First inside large companies, then beside the women who build their own. I have written three books on the hardest part of all of it, which is the people.
I have coached founders through the long climb and through the door marked exit. I know these two inflection points because I have sat with women at both, and I know the one thing they always share. It is never the market or the team or the timing. It is the way she thinks about her role in the thing she built.
Change that, and everything she wants becomes available to her.
