BUILD A BUSINESS
THAT LASTS
How you navigate critical transitions can make or break your business. We coach founders and teams through change to eliminate silos, strengthen leadership, and secure the future.
CHANGE IS COMING.
The Question Is Whether Your Business Is Ready.
Every business faces turning points — growth, succession, even eventual exit. These moments test your leaders, your systems, and your ability to carry the business forward.
If your team isn’t aligned with the broader vision, and your next generation isn’t prepared to step up, growth stalls and the weight of leadership never lifts from your shoulders.
That’s why navigating these changes requires more than hard work — it requires a shift in how owners and leaders think, and the right coach to guide them through it.
The good news? Transition doesn’t have to cost you your legacy. With the right strategy, it can secure what made your company great and carry it forward.
The Authentic Impact Method™ equips leaders to align people, build capacity, and create systems that sustain growth across generations.
Transition Can Be the Best Thing to Happen to Your Business
With the right support, critical transitions become catalysts for clarity, stronger leaders, and a business that thrives for generations.

Work With a Guide Who Gets It
I’m Penny Schlyer, CEPA—founder of Authentic Impact Business Coaching.
For more than 25 years, I’ve worked in leadership, communications, and marketing, helping organizations from steel to healthcare navigate transition. I know firsthand what it feels like to be stretched thin and wonder if the business can thrive without you.

Protect What You’ve Built.
Prepare Who Comes Next.
You’ve built a company on grit and values. Now it’s time to ensure it thrives across generations.
Authentic Impact Coaching helps you protect your
Core Promise, prepare your leaders, and build systems that sustain success.
The Core Promise
Every founder makes a Core Promise— to themselves, their customers, and their community.
It’s the commitment to do things differently.
To deliver better service, better quality, and a better experience than anyone else.
That promise is what built your reputation. It’s what earned loyal customers and kept your business strong through the years.
But as the business evolves—or as leaders retire and the next generation takes over—the Core Promise can fade.
At Authentic Impact Coaching, we help you transfer the Core Promise into your people, your processes, and your culture—so it endures long after you’ve stepped back.
Actionable insights for leaders navigating growth and transition.
