A consulting practice rooted in a simple belief:
Wisdom isn’t owned — it’s collected.
Sage Collective is named after its founder, known to be wise, thoughtful, and caring. We harness the power of our team and clients by leveraging conventional knowledge and lived experiences that engage the head, heart, and spirit.
We don’t just consult. We collaborate. The answers we build together are always stronger than the ones you find alone. Together, we move you forward.
We create strategies that are grounded, forward-thinking, and aligned with purpose.
We partner with leaders and organizations to surface what’s true, clarify what’s often overlooked, and design solutions that reflect the brilliance already in the room.

Past Partners & Clients
Services.
Supporting leaders with grounded insight, honest reflection, and practical wisdom.
Our coaching and advising services are designed to help leaders move with clarity and conviction. At Sage Collective, we believe transformation happens when truth is met with curiosity — so we create a space where clients can examine discomfort, sharpen their vision, and make decisions rooted in authenticity.
Through thoughtful questioning, strategic guidance, and a partnership built on trust, we help you uncover what’s working, name what isn’t, and chart a path that aligns with your values and goals.
We offer intentional guidance shaped by your lived experience — and strengthened by ours.
Together, we turn insight into action and impactful behavior.
Creating the space where clarity and alignment can emerge.
At Sage Collective, facilitation is more than guiding a meeting — it’s crafting an environment where every voice can contribute to shared truth. We design and lead sessions that help teams surface insights, navigate complexity, and make decisions with confidence and intention.
Whether you’re aligning on strategy, tackling a tough conversation, or reimagining what’s possible, our facilitation brings structure without rigidity and direction without domination.
The result: conversations that move you forward — together.
Building the skills teams need to grow.
At Sage Collective, learning & development is about more than delivering content — it’s about creating experiences that expand perspective, deepen capability, and strengthen connection. We design and facilitate learning that meets people where they are and moves them toward where they want to be.
From custom workshops to ongoing development programs, we help organizations cultivate the mindsets that drive positive behaviors. The result: teams that are more aligned, more capable, and more grounded in a shared understanding of what it takes to thrive.
Turning vision into direction.
Sage Collective partners with organizations to chart paths from vision to practice. Our action plans center on uncovering what’s true about where you are today, what’s possible for the future, and what it will take to get there.
We help teams align around purpose, prioritize what matters most, and translate big ideas into achievable work plans. The outcome: a shared roadmap that everyone understands, believes in, and knows how to bring to life.

A PODCAST ABOUT
WHAT NOT TO DO AT WORK
“Don’t Do That!” is a podcast hosted by Karen Driscoll and Anee Korme.
The show spotlights the moments at work that shape us, challenge us, and stretch our capacity to lead. We’ve all had experiences that made us want to scream those three words, and Karen and Anee are all too familiar with the stories that make us roll our eyes or phone a friend.
This is a space to talk honestly about mistakes at work and how to fix them. Each episode features candid conversations with leaders who have had their own “don’t do that” moments, what they learned, and what they would do differently now.
Expect engaging stories, practical takeaways, and a look inside the minds of people working to create healthier, more human workplaces every day.
