Strategic.
Wildly creative.
Rooted in ag.
Obsessed with impact.

I'm Sarah J. Bohnenkamp—and for more than 20 years, I’ve been in the business of developing people and transforming organizations.

 

From front-line teams to executive boardrooms, from big city boardrooms to Big Sky pastures, my work is all about helping leaders get clear, get courageous, and get results.

I didn’t set out to be a coach, speaker, or strategist. I started as a training coordinator in the financial industry, then climbed—sometimes sprinted, sometimes stumbled—into senior leadership roles across multiple sectors.

 

By my early 30s, I was a Chief Operating Officer in the beef industry. That role lit a fire in me: I saw firsthand what happens when bold vision meets great leadership—and what happens when it doesn’t...

In 2015, I launched my own coaching and consulting firm with one goal:


Help leaders and organizations stop playing small and start leading with clarity, courage, and strategy.

Since then, I’ve served a wide range of clients—from global brands and ag startups to regional producer groups, local boards, and individual changemakers.

 

My work spans strategic planning, leadership development, team transformation, and keynote speaking—with a little horse sweat and heart woven in when needed.

I’ve led retreats nestled in the Rocky Mountains. I’ve helped ag boards navigate big pivots. I’ve coached rodeo queens, first-generation ag entrepreneurs, and powerhouse executives reclaiming their edge.

 

And I’ve done it all while raising two incredible kids, building a business through major life transitions, and learning how to be radically myself along the way.

What I Bring to the Table:

  • Strategic insight rooted in real-world leadership experience.
     

  • Creative firepower that sparks innovation and fresh thinking.
     

  • The courage to challenge you, and the tenderness to walk with you.
     

  • A deep understanding of adult learning and how real transformation happens.
     

I'm not interested in surface-level change.

 

I'm here to help you lead with more power, purpose, and truth—whether you’re growing a business, navigating big industry shifts, or simply trying to figure out your next bold move.

A Few Things That Make Me, Me...

​I'm a momma to two wild-hearted love bugs.
 

A professional singer (and not-so-professional guitar player).
 

A lifelong learner who’s obsessed with leadership, agriculture, and horses.

I’ve lived in Idaho, Hawaii, Arizona, Colorado, and now Nebraska—where I split time between boardrooms and barns, strategy sessions and sunset rides.

 

I believe in calling people up, not just calling them out.


I believe passion is great—but it’s not enough.


And I believe we don’t need more palatable leaders—we need more powerful ones.
