Grow, Lead and Exit
Your Agency on Your Terms
Strategic insight and practical coaching for agency founders navigating uncertainty - helping you build an agency without compromising your life, values, or well-being.
Are you feeling stuck in the messy middle of agency growth? Are you struggling to break through, step back, or plan your next move?
You’re not alone in the challenges you face. I’ve been there too.
I built, scaled and exited my own agency, facing the same leadership pressures and tough decisions. Unlike generic business coaches, I bring real-world experience, board-level insight, and no-nonsense coaching to help agency founders, like you, confidently lead and unlock real value. Over the last 15 years, I’ve helped over 50 agencies do just that. Let’s talk about scaling smarter, avoiding costly mistakes, and shaping your agency’s future - giving you options on your terms.
Growth should feel like progress, not pressure.
– Karl Heasman, Agency Coach & Board Advisor

How I can help
your agency
No two agencies are the same, and neither is my approach. I adapt to your agency’s unique challenges and trajectory, ensuring the support you get aligns with your goals - on your terms.
-
Scaling isn’t just about growth - it’s about sustainable, profitable growth. Through one-to-one coaching, strategic planning, and structured advisory sessions, I help you break through plateaus, refine your business model, and increase the value of your agency. Whether you’re aiming for higher profitability, a stronger leadership team, or a more structured operation, we’ll create a roadmap that works for your vision, your goals, and your future.
-
Running an agency isn’t just about managing clients - it’s about leading with clarity and control. My approach combines executive coaching, leadership development, and hands-on mentoring to help founders step back from the day-to-day, make better decisions, and create a business that can run without them. From refining your strategy to handling the challenges of hiring, delegation, and operations, we’ll shape a leadership approach that gives you more control, not more stress.
-
Whether you want to sell, step back, or secure long-term stability, a successful exit starts long before you decide to leave. Through exit planning workshops, valuation strategies, and succession planning, I help agency owners build a sellable, scalable business that gives them real options - whether that’s attracting buyers, transitioning to a leadership team, or simply gaining more freedom. Even if you’re not planning an exit yet, structuring your business for value today ensures long-term security for tomorrow.
