Sage CEO with Kris Plachy
Your results reflect who you've been. Your future depends on who you're willing to become.
For women running multimillion dollar businesses who know the next evolution begins with her.
September 2026 through July 2027 · Kept intentionally small
You are not a beginner. You never were.
You founded or run a business doing several million dollars a year. You got here on vision and will, not on anyone else's playbook. You have been the smartest person in most rooms you enter for a long time now.
You do not need another program where you are the most accomplished person in attendance. You need to work with a woman who can match you, and who will invite you into her curated world of other amazing women like you. Somewhere you can set down the role of the expert and simply be a woman who is still growing into what is next.
You are curious. You are a learner. You are willing. The only things missing are the time you keep not giving yourself, and a partner who can meet you at your level.
The confidence is real. So is the doubt. You need a guide who understands both.
You have outgrown simplistic, canned advice. You have outgrown frameworks built for someone three stages behind you. You have outgrown rooms where you are the answer instead of the one being challenged.
What you deserve, and rarely find, is a coach and transformation partner who meets you where you actually are. Always so impressed by how insanely awesome and magical you are. But not so impressed she won't be direct, honest and tell you the truths others won't. Someone with the standing to keep challenging you toward what is genuinely possible next.
That is what Sage is. A private coaching journey with me, shaped around the actual woman in front of me. I am interested in your growth, specifically and relentlessly. And yes, there are other women. But they are not the product. They are the rare gift of being among true equals.
“Kris, you’ve guided me through a transformation that goes far beyond what I ever imagined. You bring your whole self to the table, your wisdom, seriousness, and that hilariously sharp humor that cuts through all the stories we tell ourselves. You see past the facades we put up and help us reconnect with who we truly are. Because of you, I’ve not only grown as an entrepreneur but as a person. You’ve empowered me to step into the best version of myself, and for that, I am deeply grateful.”
Dr. Tracy PageCEO, Wisconsin Institute of Functional Medicine
Invest in the woman at the center, and everything else compounds.
You are the single asset every other asset depends on. The team, the strategy, the next decision, all of it runs through you. And you are the one thing you have never put real time into.
Your business and your life can only grow as far as you are willing to grow. Not your systems. Not your next hire. You. The ceiling has always been you, which means so has the upside.
When you finally make yourself the focus, the returns are not abstract. Clearer decisions. A lighter grip. A team that rises because you did. A sense of what is possible that gets bigger instead of smaller. Sage is the year you stop leaving that on the table and start collecting it.
“I’ve worked with Kris for five years, and there’s really no one like her. As someone in a leadership position, it’s lonely at the top with few people I can confide in. Kris listens without judgment and reflects back what the answer is inside of myself, rather than telling me what to do. That’s a true skill that not many coaches have. She’s my thinking partner and strategic advisor, and I’d be a hot mess without her.”
Emma AdkissonOwner and CEO, Emboss Design
The decisions in front of you are not small. You should not make them alone.
The women in Sage are not workshopping minor tweaks. They are sitting with the decisions that change the shape of a life.
Maybe you want to grow. To expand into the next version of what you have built, without being the one who carries every load to get there. Or maybe you are ready to step away. To sell it, hand it over, or close it well, and you are not yet sure which. They look like opposite roads. They are not. You cannot be paid by a business that needs you every day, and you cannot sell one either. So whichever you want, the same work comes first, and it is the work almost no one helps you do.
The direction of the whole business. A key player you have known needs to change. An exit you keep turning over, and what you would want to know before you ever put it on the market. And the biggest question of all. Who am I, if I am not the woman running a hundred miles an hour at the head of this company?
These are not questions for your leadership team. They belong with a partner who has sat with women at both ends of this road, and beside a handful of women holding their own version of the same. Not for advice. For clarity, and the company of people who match you.
One journey, walked in three movements.
Whether you are expanding the business and becoming the leader it now asks you to be, or expanding yourself and learning to lead through your separation from it, the walk is the same. Our year together moves in three movements.
Tell the Truth
We begin by unpacking what you have. We look with honesty at the practices and the beliefs that have quietly built your limits, and we tell the truth about what needs to change.
Dream With Abandon
Then we play. We dream and curate and wish and want without apology, so that what you most desire can finally be recognized, seen, and honored.
Keep, Release, Build
And we synthesize. We keep what already serves you, we release what you now know is a lie, and we build what advances the greatness of you, your business, and your life.
“Every year that I worked with Kris, I doubled the revenue of my business and beyond. Something clicked for me that unlocked my confidence as a leader. That helped me get very prepared to actually sell my business for a whole bunch of money. As I went through the sale, Kris reminded me several times that it was still my business and I still had agency and choice, and that was very critical for me being able to get through the sale and to the other side of it.”
Ann Marie McHenryFounder, Awakened Heart PDX
“I’ve been in this program since its inception, and I felt like I’ve learned so much. The value is just priceless. One of the biggest values I found is that it forces me to look at my own brain, with all of its nooks and crannies, and really find whatever limiting thoughts still exist that have prevented me from getting to the next level of growth, either in my business or personally.”
Dr. Camysha WrightM.D., ENT
Choosing Sage brings you into the gatherings.
Sage is a private journey with me. As part of saying yes to it, you are invited into the conversations and experiences that make the year unforgettable. Five times, we step out of the day to day and into something built for exactly this.
September 29 to 30 · El Dorado Hills, California
The Kickoff
We open near my home in Northern California and set the framework we return to all year, the one that holds us through hard decisions and big pivots. The one gathering every Sage attends.
December 10 to 11 · New York City
Holiday Sparkles
A masterminding day in the city, then a private dinner at the Blue Box Cafe at Tiffany's. New York, sparkles, sisterhood, and the quiet pleasure of being in this together.
January 8 to 10 · Big Island, Hawaii
The Hawaii Retreat
We begin the new year in Hawaii, somewhere that asks you to slow down and look up. There is something about the Big Island that makes the dreams you have been quietly carrying feel possible again.
March 11 to 12 · Carmel, California
The Spring Gathering
Carmel by the sea. Cypress, fog, quiet light. A place to truly relax, full of charm and beautiful restaurants. We talk about where you are, and we explore the place together.
June 23 to 25 · Canyon Ranch, Lenox, Massachusetts
The Asset
We close the year with care and indulgence, and with the conversations that help us keep investing in ourselves long after the year ends. You are the asset. This is where that truth lands.
“Kris is an extraordinary advisor and coach. I should have stepped into her world long ago. She asks the questions that make me pause, rethink, and at times see possibilities that I never would have recognized on my own. What stands out most is her authenticity. She is accepting. She is patient. She is real in a way that feels rare. She just has that special something that works for so many women who want to grow with honesty and intention.”
Renee LaroqueFounder, Relaro Medical
The 21 Royal Experience
Last year I hosted my clients at the 21 Royal Experience at Disney for the first time. It was the most magical event we have ever done together. Playful. Inspired. Another level entirely.
This year I am holding eleven seats for the Sages who say yes early. Not on the agenda. My gift to the women who claim their place first. The first eleven to enroll hold these seats. The experience seats twelve. The twelfth is mine.
November 5 · Disneyland · Limited to 11 SagesThe journey continues all year.
The gatherings are the milestones. The real change happens in the steady work between them, the part of Sage that is most personal and most mine to you.
Two hot seat and coaching sessions every month. Twice a month you bring the real thing you are sitting with and get coached on it, alongside women doing the same. Where insight becomes integration.
Voxer, private and on demand. Where your thinking stays alive between calls, and the breakthrough in Carmel has somewhere to land three weeks later, back in your real life.
The Manager Formula, for your key people. Your managers get training and coaching that helps them lead, so the work you do on yourself compounds through the people you depend on.
The Sage Collection and the private podcast. Everything I have built inside Sage, in your ear and at your hand, all year.
I have sat with women at both ends of this road.
I have spent thirty years teaching people how to lead. First inside large companies, then beside the women who built 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, and I know the one thing they always share. It is never the market, 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. That is the work of Sage, and after all these years, it is still the work I love most.
Kris
Two ways to say yes.
Both are the full year with me. The difference is how close you want me. The right one for you is not a checkout decision. It is a conversation.
Sage Year
The full year, fully held.
- Two hot seat and coaching sessions every month, all year
- Voxer access with me all year, included
- As many of the gatherings as feel good for your schedule
- The Manager Formula for your key team members
- Every new program I teach during the year
- The Sage Collection and the private podcast
Sage Private
Everything in Sage Year, and a private line to me.
- Everything included in Sage Year
- Private one on one calls with me across the year
- Personal advisement throughout
- The closest, most individual version of this work
A note on the gatherings: travel and accommodations are not included. Lunches together, and one hosted dinner per gathering, are on me.
“Before, I felt lost and on the verge of quitting. Kris’s program transformed me. I’m reenergized, confident, and passionate about our business. I revamped my schedule, gave myself a raise, and exceeded sales projections. Now I understand the unique challenges women face in business. Excited to share Kris’s program with fellow female entrepreneurs! Thank you for the renewed sense of self and purpose!”
Lauren StephensOwner, Dudley Stephens
Let's start with a conversation.
The journey is private and personal, so the first step is simply you and me. A real conversation about where you are, what you want next, and which way in is right for you. No pressure. No obligation. You will leave it clearer than you came.
This is the year you invest in yourself as the most important asset in your life and business.

With love,Kris
