WORK WITH US
Higher Impact works with business owners and leaders who are serious about building something that lasts — not just chasing their next quarter.
You might be the right fit if:
We work with companies at every stage — from emerging businesses finding their footing to multi-million dollar enterprises navigating transition. What matters isn’t your size. It’s your seriousness.
Every engagement starts with a complimentary 20-minute call. This isn’t a sales pitch — it’s a diagnostic conversation. We’ll ask about your business, your goals, and where you’re currently stuck. By the end, we’ll both know whether working together makes sense.
Based on what we learn together, we’ll identify the right fit from our engagement options:
Coaching at Higher Impact is not motivational content. It is structured, accountable, results-oriented work. You will have assignments. You will be challenged. You will be held to what you say matters to you.
And you will have a coach who has built his own company from the ground up, led through burnout and breakthrough, and refused to separate faith from the way he leads.
That’s the difference.
Karl Diffenderfer is the founder and CEO of Higher Impact, and has spent more than 15 years coaching business owners through growth, conflict, transition, and transformation. He’s led his own company through the same challenges his clients face — including building a business that runs without him, navigating leadership with his spouse and family, and refusing to separate his faith from his work.
He is the founder of the Pennsylvania Christian Chamber of Commerce, the creator of the Higher Impact Change OS, and the co-author of The Generational CEO.
He coaches from experience, not just expertise.

A first call with Higher Impact will give you one of three things: a clear next step if we’re a fit, an honest referral if someone else can serve you better, or at minimum a clearer picture of what’s actually going on in your business.
We don’t oversell. We don’t overpromise. And we don’t waste the hour of a busy business owner with things that don’t matter.
No Obligation. No Pitch. Just Clarity.
