Coach Karen Saunders, Owner

As Co-Owner at Faith Plumbing, I played a pivotal role in co-founding the company and establishing its operations and Apprenticeship Program. I am responsible for talent acquisition, onboarding, and managing payroll efficiently. Additionally, I successfully restructured the business operations, leading to a significant 20% cost reduction within just 6 months of implementation. One of my key achievements was securing a multi-year six-figure government contract, highlighting my strong negotiation and business development skills.

An accomplished leader and coach with a dynamic background spanning business operations, talent management, and transformational coaching, my expertise is brought to life through my work as Founder of Grindstone Coaching. Specializing in results-driven coaching, I integrate biblical principles and proven strategies to inspire mindset shifts, enabling clients to achieve transformative growth. My deep understanding of work-life balance, cultivated through years of navigating in high-pressure roles, empowers clients to unlock their full potential while maintaining their well-being and aligning their goals with their values. My coaching approach is enriched by my extensive professional experience as Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of a residential and commercial plumbing business, where I honed skills in talent management, vendor relations, and government contracting. This hands-on experience allows me to offer clients practical strategies for leadership, team dynamics, and navigating organizational challenges with integrity and purpose. By blending strategic insights with faith-driven principles, my coaching reflects both the wisdom and the results of years of leadership across industries.
