You’re in that critical phase:
Too large for founder control,
yet too small for corporate bureaucracy.
Everything feels urgent; your team is maxed out,
yet somehow you just know that
pushing harder isn’t working anymore.
Mona learned to accept all parts of herself and her teammates, discovering that drama and change signal positive growth:
When I first signed up for the Define Your True Self course, I wasn’t sure what I’d be able to take away from it. Would I have concrete takeaways? Would we, as a team, be honest and open? The answers were a resounding YES. Karen does an exceptional job teaching you to accept all parts of yourself and how they show up both professionally and personally. She helped me realize that change and drama are necessary functions of interpersonal relationships and can be signs of positive things to come within a company. By the end, I felt empowered and accepted.
IAMX helps executives scale their organizations to 8 figures and beyond by building systems that work effectively, so your people no longer have to work excessively.
Along the way, you’ll transform reactive management into strategic leadership, empowering your team to operate independently while preserving the beautiful culture that made you successful in the first place.
Peter achieved his business goal of establishing a team culture that now sustains profitable growth on their own:
Karen guided us through a leadership transition and developed our internal team to the point where our people are now sustaining the momentum completely on their own. We’re more effectively handling the challenges that used to derail us and have achieved my primary goal: profitable and stable growth.
Your senior team is solid at execution but not strategic, so you’re spending twice as long reviewing work than if you just did it yourself — but you’re watching your early employees max out.
You keep telling yourself after this milestone, things will calm down, but that’s what you said the last time, too. Your partner is basically a single parent, and the worst part is: you barely enjoy the “hustle” anymore.
Your real work doesn’t start until very after hours, every tiny decision needs your input, and those 3am anxiety spirals about your runway and competition are becoming the norm. Yet despite your calendar being full, your social life feels empty.
IAMX isn’t for pocket-sized startups or massive Fortune 500s. We work specifically with leaders navigating the messy middle — that critical growth phase between $1M and $100M+ where you need both agility & systems, both profit & meaning.
Turn your reactionary, all-over-the-place monster to-do lists into clear
Free yourself for the visionary work only you can do by building
Design processes your team genuinely values, sparking them to take
Develop leaders who organically carry your vision forward through
Tracy transformed from helpless to empowered, creating the best period in company history through proactive ownership and honest communication:
I had been feeling helpless at work, waiting for someone to fix the situations that were making me unhappy. Now I can be as happy and powerful as I want. I just have to be willing to own my outcomes, proactively ask for what I want with an open heart, and trust myself to have whatever conversations I need to get where I want to go. This shift in honesty and ownership has led to the best chapter in our company’s history, both financially and from a morale standpoint. IAMX is the best ROI we’ve ever had with a training program, hands down.

Karen created a thriving business aligned with her values, achieving financial independence and joy:
Through IAMX, I gained clarity that helps me carefully choose my clients and projects to make sure they nourish my soul and align with my purpose — which ultimately serves my clients very well.

Anthony witnessed dramatic personal transformations that inspired him to get his whole team on board:
I watched people go through Karen’s leadership program and saw personal transformations so dramatic I wondered: who was the real person, before or after? When I experienced it myself, I understood why people emerged with a completely different outlook, especially around handling challenges. Now my goal is to get this to everyone in our organization.

Zenora shifted from scarcity-based fear to abundance-based confidence in handling challenges and conflict:
I used to be afraid of drama because of the win/lose dynamics of scarcity thinking.

I get so excited to share because I know how to connect the dots between what I want and what others need.
