Hi, I’m
Kara Barnes
Operations Expert
Over the past decade, Kara Barnes has played a pivotal role in helping professional speakers elevate their businesses from 6 to 7 figures by expertly optimizing day-to-day operations. She serves as their trusted "2nd in Command," ensuring the seamless execution of their visionary strategies. Esteemed speakers such as Anton Gunn, Michelle Villalobos, and Darcy Luoma, under Kara's guidance, excel at captivating their audiences on stage and efficiently channeling leads into high-ticket products and services within the backend of their businesses. Kara's invaluable contributions have empowered the support staff of these speakers to autonomously manage daily operations, thereby maintaining client satisfaction and propelling business growth.
Pulling from her training as a Certified Director of Operations and Integrator Masterclass Graduate, her process includes clarifying the vision, auditing the current team and daily activities, then identifying and implementing the appropriate software and team adjustments to ensure day-to-day activity is aligned with big-picture priorities.
In typical Colorado style, you can find Kara snowboarding in the winter, or camping and kayaking throughout the summer. Her two furry troublemakers, Cosmo and Binx, sometimes delight in inviting themselves to Zoom calls— please pardon their squeaks and jingles!
Stop wasting your
Creative Energy
on tedious process work.

What People Are Saying…
“Kara is driven, motivated, warm, and friendly. She's professional and always on the ball (and she doesn't drop any balls). One of her biggest accomplishments was completely redesigning our workflow and setting up structured systems and processes for all of our service lines. I would absolutely hire her again.”
— Darcy Luoma
“Kara has been instrumental in helping our company implement needed processes and procedures to get us organized and set up for success. As an entrepreneur, it is so nice to have someone so detailed to look at the business in a way you could not do alone.
I knew our business was not scalable or sellable without these processes put into place and documented. Kara came in and within a few months had everything working like a well-oiled machine.”
— Gina Schreck
“The results are exactly what I was hoping for… I was so excited when I just glanced at the Trello board and then I felt really more and more excited as we continued to talk through what you came up with. It was like magic! I truly felt like you "get me." Thank you!”
— Amy Climer
