What made you successful will not hold for what’s coming, especially in AI era.


You have a vision.
You’ve built success through capability, resilience, and determination.

And yet, you want a more meaningful impact, wider influence, more peace in leading business and organizaton towards the future.

Pressure builds.
Clarity fades.
Momentum or growth slows.
Doubts creep in.
And fulfillment feels just out of reach.

You are at a leadership inflection point 
— where your inner expansion as human will determine what becomes possible & how you lead the future of your organization and business.

I partner with visionary CEOs and executives at inflection points in their leadership — moments where pressure builds, teams plateau, and the old way of leading no longer works.

I help leaders to evolve who they are, how they lead, navigate uncertainities and shape legacy impact.

Through my signature process, leaders expand their presence, elevate their energy, and become trusted, magnetic forces who shape culture, inspire change, and scale with coherence — not pressure.

Because in the new era, the future is shaped by those who are more human, more present,  and more aligned from within.

With 15 years inside global and Fortune 500 environments, and over a decade in transformational leadership work (incl ICF PCC), I translated what most leaders never access into a proprietary approach — integrating neuroscience, energy, body awareness, executive coaching, and transformational leadership through Extraordinary Leadership™.

I’ve partnered with leaders across industries including Maersk, Abbott, Chanel, IKEA, Roche, Microsoft, and GE, and I’m known for my presence and transformational depth.

You’re not losing your edge.

You’re in an environment that can’t hold it.

Because even the most capable executives will start shrinking in the wrong system.

Not because you’re not strong enough.
But because the space around you is built for comfort… not evolution.

The right environment expands your leadership.
The wrong one slowly erodes it.

10 signs you’ve outgrown the place (or it’s misaligned):

1. You feel drained more than energized.
 Even when you’re “doing well.”

2. You hear constant excuses instead of commitment.
 “We can’t.” “It’s not possible.” “That won’t work here.”

3. You’re shrinking your goals and expectations.
 Not because you want less - because you’re tired of pushing.

4. You’re constantly convincing others to see potential.
 You’re selling vision instead of leading it.

5. You feel like the only one driving change.
 And it’s exhausting.

6. The organization isn’t truly willing to change.
 They want improvement… without transformation.

7. You feel like you’re going backwards.
 More effort. Less impact.

8. Your standards are treated as “too much.”
 Instead of being respected.

9. You don’t feel safe telling the full truth.
 So you filter, soften, hold back.

10. You feel yourself shrinking instead of expanding.
 And deep down… you know it’s not you.

Your brilliance doesn’t need more proving.
It needs the right environment.

Because the right room doesn’t just value your results.
It amplifies your leadership.

Culture isn’t a slogan.

It’s a driver of business performance.

The challenge:
leaders try to “build culture” through policies, perks, or programs.

While culture is actually created in the moments that matter most:
✅ how you lead
✅ how you listen
✅ what you tolerate
✅ what you reward
✅ what you normalize under pressure

🎧 In the latest episode of the Extraordinary Leadership Podcast, I sat down with Emma Davies - Founder of Evolve People Network and Evolve Hub, and a People & Culture leader with 20+ years across the UAE and KSA.

We unpack what truly creates a culture that fuels success - not in theory, but in real organizations moving at speed.

In this conversation, we explore:
• why presence beats policy
• why “open door” often means the opposite and what real accessibility looks like
• how to spot culture in seconds (and why surveys don’t always tell the truth)
• psychological safety as a performance strategy - not a soft perk
• why pay rises don’t automatically improve culture (and what actually does)
• the HR–leader partnership dynamic that makes or breaks companies

This episode will recalibrate how you think about performance, trust, and leadership impact.

🎧 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/ekhcSyUX

Question for you:
What’s one leadership move that resulted in better culture and performance?

Strategy & action alone do not create momentum.

It's the source beneath them.

“Be consistent.”
“Do not give up.”
“Continue, results will come.”

This advice isn’t wrong.
It’s incomplete.

High-level leaders usually don’t struggle with discipline or effort.

What they miss is something deeper:
Awareness of the real source of results.
Beneath strategy.
Beneath determination.
Beneath action.

- Your identity.
- Your beliefs.
- Your state.

Most leaders never go here.
Yet this is where performance, change, and momentum are actually shaped.

Because very often, the source of strategy and action is not clarity or alignment, but:
• Pressure
• Lack
• Proving
• Fear
• Nervous-system survival
• Exhaustion disguised as ambition

These drivers don’t create momentum.
They create resistance.
Friction.
Stuckness.

So when things aren’t working, the answer is rarely:
- more effort.
- more pushing.
- more strategy.

The most strategic move is often the opposite.

Slow down.
Recalibrate internally - before recalibrating strategy or team.

When outcomes aren’t landing, something deeper is usually asking to shift:
– A belief
– An identity edge
– A subconscious limit
– A suppressed emotion
– A body that doesn’t feel safe to expand
– A vision you’ve outgrown

Recalibrate here, and momentum follows.
Traction returns.
Movement becomes natural again.

So yes - be consistent.
Yes - don’t give up.

But first, recalibrate the inner drivers of leadership success.

Because when you shift internally, the external world responds fast.

Sometimes it’s the same actions.
With a different state.
Creating entirely different results.

👉 Where do you sense it’s time to recalibrate from the inside?

Most culture work focuses on behavior and values.

Important.
And incomplete.

Because culture isn’t only what people do.
It’s what people feel the moment they enter the room.

Culture is an energetic operating system.
An invisible field.

You sense it before anyone speaks.
Before meetings start.
Before data confirms it.

And here’s what most leaders underestimate:
That field is shaped - consciously or unconsciously - not just by what leaders do, but by the internal state leaders operate from.

Neuroscience explains this through mirror neurons.
Humans subconsciously attune to the emotional and physiological state of others.

In simple terms:
people don’t hear leaders, they feel leaders.

Which means this:
Your internal state shapes the dynamics, behaviors, and performance of your organization.

A calm, grounded leader creates psychological safety - without trying.
A stressed, reactive leader creates tension - without noticing.

This is nervous-system leadership.

And this is what I see consistently shifts when leaders change the source:
– Behavior changes without being managed
– Conversations soften without losing clarity
– Accountability strengthens without fear
– Performance increases without burnout

Because culture doesn’t need to be forced, when leadership is internally aligned.

The real question isn’t: “How do I motivate people?”

It’s: “What internal state am I transmitting every day - already?”
That’s the layer that changes everything.

-> If you want to go deeper into leading from your highest state - this is the episode to watch: https://lnkd.in/eZiVvvhh

-> If you’re ready to elevate the signal you’re sending, shape culture from the inside out and lead from a grounded, calm, confident, and coherent state - let’s have a conversation about what will support that shift.

You don’t need a survey to know if your culture is strong.

You feel it the moment you walk in.

The energy.
The pace.
The way people look at each other before they speak.

After years of working in corporate and with CEOs and leadership teams, I’ve learned this:
the strongest cultures are sensed long before they’re measured.

Surveys confirm.
Attunement reveals.

This carousel breaks down 5 signals before any data, dashboards, or engagement scores enter the room.

If you’re a leader preparing your organization for the future, this matters.
Because culture isn’t built through initiatives.

It’s built through presence, safety, and how leadership shows up - every day.

Swipe through.

Then ask yourself one question:
What does your culture communicate the moment someone enters your space?

5 Signs Your Culture Is Strong

Culture isn’t a transaction.

It’s your leadership in action.

Money rises do not buy it.
And I fully agree with what Emma Davies said in our last conversation.

Yes, paying beneath market won’t fuel engagement.
But even strong compensation won’t create trust, ownership, or collaboration.

Thriving culture and performance rise on psychological safety + trust + authentic presence + growth opportunities.

If you want a thriving culture, here are 10 moves you will need:
✅ Set/co-create the vision + priorities (people can’t perform in confusion)
✅ Ask for input and actually listen
✅ Address issues early (don’t let them grow)
✅ Recognize & appreciate effort - not only results (be specific)
✅ Give real ownership, not just tasks
✅ Create space for honest conversations (psychological safety matters)
✅ Model the standards you expect from others
✅ Show up human and vulnerable, not invincible
✅ Find out what people truly want (what drives them, what they care about)
✅ Create growth opportunities that match it (so they can evolve and stay engaged)
✅ Protect wellbeing + energy (rest, boundaries, sustainable pace)

For that, developing coaching abilities, strengthening emotional intelligence, mastering your state/energy and mindset will be key for you as a leader.

These were true game changers for me.

It’s what helps you move from being an expert…
to become the catalyst and multiplier - for people, performance, and culture.

That’s why when I partner with executives, we work on all of it - the inner leadership and the practical skills that build thriving culture fueling performance.

Because culture isn’t bought.
It’s built.
And what matters most is how you lead.

AI accelerates efficiency and execution.

Human evolution shapes the future of leadership.

Yesterday, I was invited to participate a Singularity University event in Dubai, on exponential mindset & AI driven leadership.

My favorite was speech of John Sanei the futurist who  put one simple truth in the spotlight:

AI will replace intellectual intelligence.
Where we need to evolve is as humans.

Underlying the need to adapt by evolving From within - awareness, perception, EQ and being.


From the lens of my work, I see 3 key areas where leaders must evolve now to stay relevant for the future that unfold very fast:

1. State mastery
Your mind & body determines how you think, decide, and lead under pressure & what culture dynamic you shape.
A coherent state creates clarity, trust, safety & flow.
A survival state creates tunnel vision, stress & chaos.
Aligning & elevating your state is number one leadership superpower.


2. Identity & belief evolution
You don’t see the world as it is - you see it as you are, through the inner filters.
Your identity and belief system shape your perception, choices, leadership capacity.
Most leaders are running unaware on old conditioned program.
Evolving it expands what becomes possible for you, organization, business.

3. Intuition & inner wisdom
Data informs, but intuition decides.
In an AI-shaped world, accessing deeper inner knowing becomes the ultimate human advantage.
From here best strategies & unique approaches will come.

So the future isn’t about knowing more.
It’s about leading from a more evolved inner self.

And its already here and happening at speed.

So the question is:
are you evolving to be on the forefront?

Thank you Varun Malik & Matthieu Bonelli for inviting me to this relevant conversation shaping the future of business and humanity.

Gratitude is not a mindset trick.

It's a state that determines how you lead.

Your brain follows what you focus on.
Your energy follows your focus.

Neuroscience shows: 
gratitude strengthens new neural pathways that help you notice what you already have - instead of staying on autopilot, scanning for lack.

Gratitude activates presence.
It supports emotional regulation, resilience, and wellbeing & psychological safety.

And in challenging moments?
Gratitude is often the first place to return to.

In leadership, that matters.
Because your decisions…
your energy…
your presence…
are shaped by what you repeatedly focus on.

Today, my gratitude looked like this:
✨ Activating the gratitude state through an energetic activation designed by me (one of many inside the Extraordinary Leadership App for State & Embodiment mastery)

🦷 A kindness from the receptionist and wisdom from the doctor. Plus, learning something new.

🌊 Coffee, sunlight, and ocean waves.

💎 And gratitude anchored at home - fragrance + beauty in my office.

Gratitude is a leadership decision.

Choose it daily - especially when things feel intense.

Because what you focus on becomes what you lead from.

What are you grateful for today?

Our closest relationships are never separate from our leadership.

They quietly influence how we decide, regulate ourselves, and show up.
Often beneath the surface.

In many ways, a family is an organization.
And partners are the leadership team.

The relational dynamic between partners shapes the wider system -  including children, culture, and emotional climate.

Cultivating this relationship is one of the most important areas of my own life.

I value friendship, connection, shared purpose, and shared values with my life’s partner.

What strengthened our partnership most was evolving from within, on both sides.

☑️ Understanding and valuing our differences.
☑️ Learning to manage and reduce triggers.
☑️ Growing emotional maturity together.
☑️ Freeing from past conditioned beliefs, memories, traumas.

And creating intentional time together, 
outside of family chores.

I’m not a personal relationship coach.

But some of my clients move through profound life phases that unfold alongside our core partnership.

And these moments inevitably influence their leadership, clarity, and capacity.

With care, I want to share two resources I often recommend when it comes to closest partner relationships:

1. The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work
 — John Gottman

If you want to strengthen your relationship in a practical, research-backed way, this is foundational.

The principles focus on:
➝  Building deep friendship
➝  Managing conflict without damage
➝  Creating shared meaning
➝  Protecting respect and emotional safety

Clear. Grounded. Timeless.
And helpful in challenging common myths that quietly erode connection.

2. Conscious Uncoupling
 — Katherine Woodward Thomas

If you are separating or divorcing, this book offers a radically different orientation.

It supports:
➝  Ending a relationship without destruction
➝  Taking responsibility without self-blame
➝  Extracting wisdom rather than carrying residue
➝  Creating a clean emotional future - for yourself and others involved

Both books center consciousness, choice, and maturity.
Whether you are staying together or parting ways.

I trust this share will serve you or someone close to you.

Feel free to pass it on to leaders and friends who may need it now.

Your organization and business can’t outgrow you.

When pressure rises, complexity grows and AI challenges your relevance - strategy is not the first place to look into.

Elevating who you are and how you lead - is.
Because your impact & business results depend on your inner architecture.

Here is how it works:
→ Your state determines your leadership capacity - shaping decision quality, execution speed, and culture under pressure.
→ Your identity shapes your authority - what you tolerate, how you operate, size of your vision and how decisively you move when it matters.
→ Your beliefs define your strategic range & possibilities-  and whether growth feels constrained or inevitable.
→ Your energy creates organizational leverage - influencing momentum, performance, and how people respond to you.
→ Your ability to access intuition stabilizes leadership under pressure & uncertainty - enabling decisions that are fast, aligned, and sustainable.

Mastering mind, emotions, and inner state, changing beliefs & expanding your identity is real leadership work.

And in a world where AI replaces IQ, who you are becomes the competitive advantage.

This is the real work I support my clients with.

So they lead with inner authority, magnetic presence, and create legacy impact - while shaping future-ready organizations.

So they don’t just stay relevant - they set the direction.

I Just Got Back From 5 Incredible Weeks In Argentina and Uruguay 

I went from not knowing one single person in the country

To build a Dream 100 network In 30 days

Don't get me wrong, there were moments when I felt super lonely

One of them was arriving on an island at a tiny town 

where hardly anyone spoke English

It was right at that moment, my mum called me (her intuition working big time)

Are you ok? she asked. "Well, maybe I am a bit lonely, but we all get lonely, I said."

The difference is how we choose to handle it

I decided there and then to apply my Dream 100 network building principles

One of the key foundations I teach here at Impact Innovator OS

It's the idea of One to Many

Put yourself in the right environment (I was in Jose Ignacio, Uruguay fabulous place)

Next Step 

Be super focused on who you want to connect with and why

Then allow your own unique power and light to shine

And allow yourself to receive more ...

Here is how this worked in ACTION 

I followed my intuition to a relaxed, beautiful beach bar

And most importantly, did not look myself away when I felt lonely and vulnerable

And wanted to just give up

I kept going, putting myself out there

I sat at the bar - alone and embraced the moment

Got into the vibe, relaxed, and let go

Then heard some fellow English speakers

Stood up, took action, went over, said Hey, I'm Sara great to meet you, I'm here on my own and would love to connect

The rest is history

Amazing people introduced me to amazing people, who invited me to incredible events

And I built not only a new dream 100 network in Uruguay, but also in Buenos Aires.

Connection is all you need, with yourself first and then with those around you

It's time to Shine Your Light

Together, we will transform our world

Love Sara

Together We Will Transform Our World 

How I overcame My Fear Of Being Out Of Control 

Climbing this glacier I was truly terrified.

I got over it - by applying my 3 steps to let go of control

As a Purpose Led Founder 

I used to try and control everything  

But that just led to burnout and working 247 getting nowhere fast

5 years ago i started hiking seriously ( turning a once in 10 years to once every two weeks)

Business, Mindset and Energy are all intertwined

And success is systemizing Business, Mindset and Energy

Life is Circular

Winning Systems Are Holistic 

And that is EXACTLY How I overcame my fear of being out of control

Step 1 - Think of Your Energy as a system - only so much mental, physical and emotional energy

Step 2 - Thinking of yourself as Social - your not meant to do things alone 

Step 3 - Set Big Audacious Goal - Focus on the present take one step forward each day


Climbing this glacier i was totally scared - now Im laughing but it was not funny at the time

I had set the goal, and guess what had not worried about it at the time

I prepared

I showed up with the right mindset

And I let myself be social and ask for help

I did not try to do this alone

I did this with experts

I let them hold my hand when I walked up

I let them hold my hand when I walked down

I listened to their expertise - I did not try to take selfies whilst walking on ice that is razor sharp

The Result - I followed a system, managed my energy, allowed myself to be supported

Succeeded - Climbed to the peak of the glacier without falling down

Success happens - one relationship, one system and one step at a time.

MY CFO Sophia, said to me on Saturday (when we met IRL)

Sara, I love your Simple System to Scale 

One roadmap

It works wherever the team is in the world

They can scale without you

We just proved it, after I was away on a remote trekking expedition 

The team was scaling without. me

And I could relax, and let go, feeling fully supported

2. What our High Impact offer is

(One In house sustainable growth system that gives our founders category of one results in 30 days)

3. WHO our ICP IS

( Purpose led founders, conscious leaders, and innovators)

And HOW to sell without you

Using One Team Process, everybody understands: One Team Chat, One Team Meeting

At Impact Innovator, our team is from

London
Texas

How I Stopped Being Overlooked And Became A Category Of One 

One of my favourite words is "Cringey" or "to Cringe."

Do you use it in the US?

We use it here in London, to Cringe means to look fine on the outside

But to be feeling totally naked, exposed, and seen on the inside for who you really are, or are not, or think you are.

The problem today is trying to be like everything else - we all do it, even if we think we are being our REAL AUTHENTIC SELF, we are not

We are all trying to look and be like other people

But buyers don't want to buy from lookalikes

They want to buy from trailblazers, pioneers, buccaneers, innovators, stars

They want to buy from founders who have become so incredibly comfortable 

With their own quirks, own uniqueness, no matter how out of the box that is, and their own story

Buyers want to buy from founders who LOVE, and OBSESS over the GREATNESS of their own offer

I have a catch phrase I say to our members, "Your Real Power Is YOU."

That catchphrase comes from me having to face myself in the mirror and follow my own category of one roadmap

Because here is the thing

If you "cringe" at ANYTHING about your positioning, offer, story, or packaging, people feel it

If you're "trying too hard" to be the same, or to be different, or to be an innovator, or to be radical 

The game changer for me was following my own formula to strip away anything I was doing that was not authentic

To create my own language, to polish my offer, my packaging, and how I show up in the world

To be uniquely Sara AKA Stara

To let go of fitting in, and to embrace standing out

Your Real Power is YOU

The quicker you embrace being uniquely you, the faster you scale, the faster you make a real impact

7 BILLION DOLLAR BUYER SECRETS

Yesterday I was talking About The Importance Of Trusting Yourself

You can have the best innovation, the best business, the best purpose

But if you don't trust yourself to cross the river

You never will 

You will stop just at the edge of certainty

How do I know that?

Because that used to be me

I would put in motion a great innovation or a great system

But I would not give it time for the innovation or the great system

To cross the river to success

I would get scared, I would freak out with the uncertainty of it all 

Here is what I learnt 

What I do 

And a key system I teach our members

You want to go SLOW in the foundation you are building

Take your time building your High Impact Offer Foundation

Breathe,

Give yourself the grace to BELIEVE IN Yourself

And Honour Your Innovation that is uniquely yours, without abandoning this or copying others

From fear

And

You want to

Go FAST in Implementing without waiting to be perfect

Because you ONLY become perfect through repetition of your actions and your process

You only become perfect by doing

You don't become perfect by waiting on the sidelines

My message for today: Just Do IT

Whatever you dream of for yourself this year

Commit and Trust Yourself To Make It a Reality

Life IS Short, Make Each Day Count

Together we will transform our world

Cross The River With Me

Last Night I Had Dinner With One Of My Mentors PETER SAGE And Our Awesome Friends

Peter helped me get out of my comfort zone and made me see WHY mentorship is the game changer

For every entrepreneur 

I met Peter 10 years ago

He helped me shift my mindset from being "Comfortable" playing small 

To be "Uncomfortable" with the status quo 

Here are the 5 shifts being uncomfortable changed in my life

1. I started to focus 10X more on the present - what changes I could make each moment

2. I let go of GOOP - One of Peter's favourite phrases, listening to "The Good Opinion Of Other People

3. I stopped listening to "the noise" of the media

4. I started listening to my own heart - and hearing the impact it wanted to make

5. I worked my a**s of to "DO the work" and realise my true path 

Being a top 1% mentor myself ( because I experienced the transformation in my life first)

Having a top 1% mentor changed my trajectory to live a life of meaning, impact and legacy

Because I stopped being afraid and started to show up in my unique brilliance

Imagine what having a top 1% mentor can do for yours?

Together we will transform our world

Love and Gratitude Sara

Hey, Sara Simmonds here. Welcome to the Impact Innovator Community.

Here is a story about Carol, one ofthe  members

Carol is an awesome ex-Harvard, Cartier Award winner, and brilliant innovator. 

Despite her credentials and working harder than anyone I know, her sales were inconsistent. 

Some months are great, others scaling felt impossible.

Sound familiar?

Using my $Billion Dollar Buyer System

In 30 days, we helped Carol close $200K in a sell-out launch. 

No massive following. 

No chasing attention.

No "Send me an email."

 Just a complete change in how we helped Carol package and optimise her offer.

How? 

I spent years as a billion-dollar buyer controlling $100M+ budgets. 

My success secret?

I chose less than 1% of what I saw. The other 99%? Filtered out. Invisible.

The formula the1% have? 

These Five things:

One: They were Category-of-One. Competition became irrelevant.

Two: One clear offer. Not five confusing ones.

Three: A movement, not just customers.

Four: Mindset mastery. Success is 90% psychology.

Five: They owned their system. No agency dependency.

Here's the truth: knowing these secrets is step one. 

Understanding HOW to implement them is step two.

That's what I break down in my free live masterclass. 

I keep it intimate, just 25 founders, so I can address your specific challenges.

TODAY UNLOCK THE 5 SECRETS TO BUILD YOUR LEGACY

My category of one purpose connects with people faster than AI ever will 

(If you want to scale faster in 2026 ready my 5 secrets below)

I realised in my temple last week with my community

People don't deeply connect with you through words

I mean deep like wanting to build a friendship, relationship, or sale with you

They don't connect with you through numbers

(Although great numbers are impressive)

And

They don't actually connect with you through status

(status sounds good, but it either attracts fake friendships or followers, or rubs people up the wrong way)

The Truth: In HOW people ACTUALLY connect with you

It's through the FEELING you give them when they meet you

That feeling is an inner feeling

They want to be part of your tribe

I always say to our members here at Impact Innovator OS

The fastest way to gain new business

Is to OBSESS over your Ideal Client

That's the first step

The Gold is the second step that builds the REAL connection is 

To become a Category Of One 

I have built and refined the Category Of One formula over the last decade 

The formula applies to you as a person, you as a founder, you as a brand ...

And your brand itself

People connect to people who are a Category Of One

They become drawn to you and your business and your brand

Like a magnet

So if you want to skyrocket your sustainable growth in EVERY area of your life this 2026

Across ALL your relationships, do this:-

Sara's  5 Step Category Of One Formula 

1. Unlock your unique power and embrace the real you

2. Stop burying your unique power, hiding it, or pretending it does not exist

3. Shine your unique light from your heart in all that you do

4. Show Up In Your Unique Power Consistently

5. Stop chasing and allow yourself the space and time to connect to people who truly value what you do

It's time to unleash your unique brand magnetism on the world

If you would like to find out HOW DM light below to join us

5 STEPS TO BECOME A CAT OF ONE

So I'm about to jump on the Closers.IO podcast, and honestly? I'm a bit nervous.

Not because I don't know my zone of genius - how to scale your unique purpose!

But because I'm walking into a room of professional salespeople... and I didn't grow up in sales.

I grew up in buying - and learning $Billion Dollar Buying Intelligence

Which is precisely why Closers.IO invited me on as their expert today

Because here's what I DO know: 

If you want to sell and scale in the world of endless competitors today

You've got to know how to become a category of one.

Here's what most people miss: Category of one isn't ONE thing you do.

It's EVERYTHING you do -

SIMPLE. Systemised and aligned into one roadmap.

That's how I close $15K to $150K deals at a 40% conversion rate.

Not through tactics. Through absolute clarity.

When you own your category, you don't compete. You convert.

The moment you become a category of one, price becomes irrelevant 

If you want the inside track on what that roadmap is, join me in my live masterclass next Tuesday.

Why I Never Talk About Business On Saturdays

One Reason:

We need space each day and each week to zoom out

Think about it

How much of your time do you spend zoomed in?

Hyper focused on the nitty gritty of your day?

Hyper focused on getting that result?

Here is what I learned

Results do not come from

Hyperfocusing on the goal
Obsessing over the goal
Worrying about the goal

Results come from

Hyperfocusing on your process
Obsessing over your system
Joyously expecting the realisation of your goal

Learning to Zoom out resets your mind

Taking time every day and each weekend to zoom out and get lost in nature

It's a great way to do this

Remember this

Balance is the way to win

Together we will transform our world

Love Sara

Most founders believe they need a louder brand, a better-looking website, or a “more unique” offer.

That’s exactly why they stay overlooked -
while less capable competitors get picked.

I’ve spent years inside billion-dollar buyer rooms, watching how real decisions actually get made.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Buyers don’t choose the “best” offer.
They choose the one that aligns with five specific decision criteria most founders never see.

On January 20th at 1:00 PM EST,
I’m hosting a private masterclass where we break down all five.

No surface-level tactics.
No marketing tricks.

Just the real buyer levers that make decision-makers see you as the only obvious choice, and confidently say yes.

Here’s a preview:

Why “trying to be different” often works against you, and what top buyers actually use to decide who wins.

How purpose-led founders sell out $200K launches in 24 hours, without ads or agencies.

The two hidden mechanisms that turn unpredictable growth into sustainable momentum you own.

This is the same framework I used to approve and greenlight over $100M in buying decisions.

Founders have applied it to scale from $1M to $50M+:
→ Without bloated agencies
→ Without stacked systems, they don’t control
→ And without burning out

Seats are limited, and this won’t be made public.

Ten years ago, I made myself a promise.

One day, I would walk the trails of El Chaltén, Patagonia - not as an escape, but as a reminder of why I chose this path.

Last year, I did.

That hike wasn’t just about mountains.
It was about walking the path of innovators who refused to compromise what mattered.

The one who carried me through the hardest years was Yvon Chouinard - founder of Patagonia, the billion-dollar brand that was never meant to be one.

Yvon wasn’t a businessman chasing wealth.
He was a broke mountain climber who wanted better gear.

So he taught himself blacksmithing.
Made tools for his friends.
Sold them from his car for $1.50 each.

He didn’t set out to build a unicorn.
He just refused to betray his values.

When being a purpose-led founder nearly broke me 
when every part of me wanted to quit 

I remembered his words:

“Impossible is the lamest of excuses.”

And I realised something important:

Quitting doesn’t make life easier.
It just postpones the dream.

Because dreams don’t quit.
They wait.
And they come back louder.

What stopped me from walking away was understanding this:

Everything is figurable-outable including sustainable growth.

Just as Yvon built for climbers, I spent the last 10 years building for purpose-led founders.

When there was no roadmap, I created one.
And that work became Impact Innovator OS.

So here’s the question I keep coming back to:

What would change if you realised your purpose isn’t the obstacle, it’s the path?

Most founders think they need a louder brand, a prettier website, or a “more unique” offer.

That’s why they stay invisible...
While weaker competitors get chosen.

I spent years inside billion-dollar buyer rooms watching how real decisions are made.

And here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Buyers don’t choose the “best” offer.

They choose the offer that aligns with 5 specific buyer decision criteria almost no one understands.

On January 20th at 1:00 PM EST,
I’m running a private masterclass.

We’re revealing all 5.

Not surface-level tactics.
Not marketing tricks.

The real buyer levers that make someone see you as the only obvious choice and confidently say yes.

Here’s a taste:

1. Why “being different” actually backfires, and what top buyers use instead to decide who wins the deal.

2. How certain purpose-led founders sell out $200K launches in 24 hours with zero ads or agencies.

3. The 2 hidden mechanisms that turn random growth into sustainable momentum you actually own.

This is the same playbook I used to approve and greenlight over $100M in buying decisions.

Founders have used these frameworks to scale from $1M to $50M+:

→ Without hiring bloated agencies,
→ Without stacking systems they don’t control,
→ And without burning out.

Seats are limited.
This masterclass will not be public.

Trustpilot Reviews

⏳ Two days to go.

Most founders think they need a louder brand, a better-looking website, or a more “unique” offer.

That belief is why they stay invisible -
while objectively weaker competitors keep getting chosen.

After years inside billion-dollar buying rooms, I can tell you the real reason:

Buyers don’t choose the best offer.
They choose the offer that aligns with a small set of buyer decision criteria most founders never see.

This Sunday at 12:00 PM EST, I’m hosting a private masterclass where I break down all five.

No surface-level tactics.
No marketing hacks.

Just the real buyer levers that make someone see you as the obvious choice and confidently say yes.

What we’ll cover:

Why “being different” often backfires and what top buyers actually use to decide who wins

How purpose-led founders quietly sell out $200K launches in 24 hours without ads or agencies

The two hidden mechanisms that turn random growth into momentum you actually own

This is the same framework I used to approve $100M+ buying decisions.

Founders using it have scaled from $1M to $50M+
without bloated agencies, tool overload, or burnout.
