Lessons in career design from a Physicist turned Entrepreneur
Karolina Sarna is a physicist-turned strategy coach and founder. Originally trained in atmospheric physics, she moved from research to applied space systems, then into data science and product leadership roles. Her work has ranged from building satellite mission components to designing end-to-end data pipelines to leading product and strategic initiatives for emerging tech teams. Karolina is also the founder of Rebel Strategy Lab, where she coaches mid-career “rebel leaders” and helps companies build strategy that aligns people, planet, and profit.
What you'll learn:
How to pivot your career using “A-to-B” moves—shifting just one variable at a time to evolve instead of start over
Why uncertainty can sometimes feel safer than certainty, and how to use that awareness to keep your options open
A simple “hell yes or no” filter to choose which projects to say yes to when you have many possible paths
How to give clear, timely, non-personal feedback that builds trust and helps people improve quickly
How to build a consulting practice gradually, including setting a realistic 12–18 month runway and fallback criteria
Why investing in tools that improve understanding of AI-generated output (like code visualizers) builds confidence and quality
