Karie Kaufmann

“Karie is simply phenomenal! Her level of professionalism is spot on. She understands business and how the business mindset works. What I love most about Karie is how she delivers her messages. Her presentation style is really engaging and thought provoking. I highly recommend Karie as a speaker and business coach.”

“Career and Life-Changing! Working with Karie is the best investment I've ever made in my business. Even after earning a MBA from the Rady School at UC San Diego and 6 years of working hard to build my firm, she was able to absolutely revolutionize the way I run my company. Not only are revenues up 60%, my stress level and total work hours are down at least 50%. We immediately saw results on our bottom line within a month or two of working together. A year later, my whole world is different (in a good way!). I've learned to create the processes to run the business efficiently and to get the right people in the right roles. We've cleaned up the systems and prepared the business for a potential sale! I couldn't be happier with the work I've done with Karie and her team. My only regret is that I was referred to her a full year prior to working with her, and I don't know why I waited so long. Highly recommended, worth every penny and more!”

“Karie Kaufmann is a SUPER STAR! She is very well seasoned and networked in the business coaching community. I believe this is one of many reasons why she is a such a phenomenal communicator- she has seen a lot. If you ever just have a conversation with Karie, you will recognize that she needs to be onstage sharing her knowledge and her authentic truths. Karie inspires many, especially women in business. She get its it, because she gets you. I am thankful our professional paths have crossed and I look forward to what is next. #GirlPower and beyond.... ”

“Karie was an incredible speaker at our executive level event. Her passion for improving businesses and the techniques she recommended gave all of our attendees tactics that they could immediately implement in their business. I would not hesitate to recommend Karie as a speaker for any business and entrepreneurial event.”

“Karie is amazing. She is straight-forward, provides honest feedback and advice, asks great questions, holds me accountable, and is awesome. She is always ON - she gives you her full attention on every single call. Her other clients are also great and she has created a wonderful community among us, and we all rely on each other to make introductions to strategic alliances and we also serve each other. Since working with her, we’ve added 8 employees and 15x’d our revenue, and I believe we will continue to grow. The opportunities to do so are endless, and I have the staff to help me follow the opportunities and leads where we need to go. I am so appreciative for Karie and all she has done for me.”

“Karie is a brilliant, very skilled speaker and business trainer. I highly recommend her for any speaking engagements that you may need for your audiences.”

“We have worked with Karie on and off for several years now. From Executive Coaching, to Management Coaching to Sales Training, her services and assessments have been spot on! David Susi RSI Roofing and Solar”

“Karie really helped me understand the importance of making time for business planning, and creating systems not only to run your business but to monitor it's successes and weaknesses. She's a master of analogies, goal setting, and encouraging positive habits to help you achieve your visions for your company and your personal work/life balance. Get your head on straight. Don't loose your mind. Work with Karie! ”

“Karie is my business coach and although we've just started a formal coaching program together, I had attended her workshops and speaking events for years because I got so much value from them. Now that I'm a coaching client, she has jumped into the "trenches" with me and is helping me make immediate improvements in my business processes. For instance, Karie gave me a creative idea for month-end reporting, a process in my business that took so much time and resources. Her new strategy has saved me HOURS of personal time, as well as several hours of staff time. CHA CHING. She is currently helping me systemize my sales and hiring process as well. Having a coach like Karie that can give you real life advice, recommendations and systems for business is paramount. She's not your average business coach - she's the real deal! I highly recommend.”

“I was fortunate enough to attend a few of Karie's seminars which offer tools to support success for businesses. I always have many practical take aways and I highly recommend her expertise as a business coach! Thanks Karie!”

“I was lucky enough to have Karie recommended to me by friends who owned a San Diego advertising agency. They spoke of how much she had helped them in their business with developing strategy for growth and suggested that I get in touch with her. Since that time I have participated in many of her training sessions and have always found great value in her guidance and practical advice. As a small business owner, it is so easy to lose sight of your vision and feel like you are floundering in the darkness, and to feel like you are the only one that can't get things figured out. Attending Karie's seminars helped me to realize that not only was I very much not alone in my struggles, as many of the people that came together reflected the same fears and doubts, but from Karie we learned that there are many strategies to cope with these schallenges and that it is all (in one of my favorite catch phrases) "figure-out-able." Her advice is smart, succinct, and practical. Exactly what you need to hear if you are struggling with personal organization, business systems, motivation, etc. I'm grateful to have her as a resource as I continue building my business. Knowing that I have an expert to turn to is so valuable. I hope to work with her more in the future as my business continues to grow to formulate strategies with her for future challenges. ”

“I had contact with her for about 45 hours over 3 days of my induction training as an ActionCOACH and was left dazzled with the way Karie made the lecture materials come to life as she spiced it with her real life, on the job experience. Little wonder she is in the top 100 of the over 1000 coaches world wide”

“Karie is a great coach and resource for all things business. She's personally helped many of my friends grow their businesses, and I've taken advantage of both her free reources (webinars and workshops) as well as paid programs as well. All have been so educational and helpful and really helps to direct your focus and actions to be more intentional, and most importantly, give you results!”

“I was lucky enough to receive sales coaching from Karie as an Event Planner at The Wild Thyme Company Catering + Events for 2 years. Both during & since my time as an ActionCoach student, I have realized how greatly my professional focus & skills have improved. Along with her vast knowledge of strategic planning, Karie possesses a strong set of communication skills which enable her to challenge you whilst encouraging you every step of the way. It's not always easy to complete supplementary tasks on top of your day-to-day responsibilities but if I were able to work with Karie again down the road on another business development project, I would feel incredibly privileged!”

“Karie is a phenomenal source of information, helping her clients, networking partners and others succeed in their business! Just this week Karie gave a presentation to a networking group we are both members of and that tip saved from discounting a project; instead the client increased their order, saved more money than the discount would have been and I didn't have to discount the job - a winning solution for all ... thanks, Karie!”

“Since I've hired Karie, my average sale has increased by 216%. When I first hired Karie, I could only handle two active projects at one time. As I write this, I currently have 14 projects going without a hitch. I'll probably have to write an updated recommendation with even better results in six months. I don't see how you can afford not to hire her.”

"My very first meeting with Karie helped me define the foundation of my small business, helping me focus my efforts in the right direction."

“I cannot express enough, how much benefit my company has received from hiring Karie as my business coach! I'd not worked with a business coach before, and didn't know what to expect, but am continually impressed with her. Not only does she know and value the material that she teaches, but she is one of the most personable and also responsible people that I've ever met. She is great about always following through with obligations, and therefore keeps us on our toes! I've worked with her for almost two years, and plan to continue working with her for as long as I am a business owner. She is an invaluable asset to our company!”

“I hired Karie in 2009 to help me grow my business and give me more direction. Karie has this great positive energy that I felt during and after every one of our meetings. She's very motivating and has also provided me with some wonderful ideas not only on how to grow my business but how to hire and deal with employees. Karie followed up with me after every meeting and held me accountable to the goals I set. The small monetary investment was well worth hiring Karie. My business is well on its way to achieving the growth I want to achieve. Thanks Karie!”

“Clever Advantage has been working with Karie since the first quarter of 2010. Our sales have increased 25%, and our company has systems in place for strategic growth in personnel and revenue. Karie gives clients both the tools and the methods of implementation to flourish. A true expert in the field of coaching and one of the best investments we've made in our business.”

“After spinning our wheels, we decided to bite the bullet and hire Karie at ActionCoach to become our business coach. We love what we do and our clients enjoy working with us, but we needed someone to help us systemize our company and hold us accountable to our goals. ActionCoach works. Hiring Karie was the best investment we have ever made in our business!”

“Our company has been working with Karie for the last 4 months and have noticed a direct correlation to resent results to the coaching she has provided. Due to our involvement with Karie and Action Coach, we have outperformed our 1st quarter projections to date by 50%. I would confidently recommend Karie to aid in the growth and progress of any company and especially small business.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Karie. I had the opportunity to get to know Karie as an MBA classmate and to work with her at Pac-West Telecomm. Throughout the 10+ years we've been colleagues and friends, Karie has continually impressed me with her creativity, her responsiveness, and her proactive approach to problem-solving. She is an "out of the box" thinker with the persistence to see projects through to successful completion. Her positive energy and humor are contagious! Karie is both a leader and a team player, always ready and willing to jump in and help whenever and wherever needed. She has a true gift for relationship-building and development - anyone who knows and/or works with Karie is undoubtedly better for it. She is dependable and trustworthy and compassionate, all reasons for which I love and respect her, and feel fortunate to have her as a lifelong friend.”

“Karie was my business coach at Buffini and Company. She is a fantastic motivator and is incredibly good at what she does.”

“Karie is a great coach. She always has her client's best interest at heart. Her professionalism and committment is bar none. Her clients are blessed to have a coach that cares, is committed and will to do what ever it takes to help them reach their personal and professional best!”

“I worked directly and indirectly with Karie for over 5 years while at Pac-West. During that time Karie coordinated several external and internal events that were top notch and very successful. Karie is extremely detail oriented and an excellent communicator. If you are looking for a professional, detail oriented person with solid interpersonal skills I would recommend Kari with complete confidence.”

“Karie was a great coach and was always willing to help others. She was selected to be part of the training advisory board. Kaire was commited to her cleints success.”

“As a Business Consultant and Coach, Karie brings to the table a wealth of education and experience. She helps her clients see the big picture vision of what they want to create, and then she provides the practical road map to achieving those results. Karie's gifts include a strong sense of integrity, creative ideas, organization, and the desire to make a tangible difference in the lives of her clients and their businesses. She is a true professional and one of the top coaches in her field. If Karie has your back, you have a Team that will help you succeed.”
