Scaling With Partnership and Purpose

sean magennis red logo

I partner with organizations at critical inflection points– whether you’re scaling from startup to stability, reinvigorating a stagnant business cycle, or breathing new relevance into an established brand. My approach combines strategic vision with practical execution, always keeping the people who make it all possible at the center of focus.

More Than Just The Numbers

More Than Just The Numbers

Drawing from my experience building three companies and helping double the size of YPO to 33,000 members across 138 countries, I’ve learned that meaningful growth happens when organizations embrace both their strengths and their challenges with equal clarity.

Companies that are willing to reimagine themselves without losing their core identity are often the ones best primed for growth. I’ve guided organizations through significant rebranding efforts—including leading YPO’s evolution to remain relevant in the 21st century—while preserving the values that made them exceptional in the first place.

My Approach

When we work together, I’ll help you:

  • Assess your organization’s position in its lifecycle and identify untapped potential
  • Develop realistic growth strategies aligned with your team’s capabilities and values
  • Create systems that can scale with you rather than becoming constraints
  • Build a culture that supports innovation while maintaining operational excellence
  • Connect you with specialized resources from my global network when needed

Creating Lasting Impact

Organizations that approach growth thoughtfully don’t just achieve better financial outcomes—they build stronger teams, more resilient cultures, and the capacity to navigate future challenges with confidence. My clients develop a clearer understanding of their unique value proposition and the structural elements needed to deliver consistently on their promises.

This work transforms your business metrics and how you and your team experience your work together, creating an environment where people thrive while achieving remarkable results.

No one has made me feel more welcomed and inspired. Sean not only excels in entrepreneurial and leadership realms but possesses an innate ability to connect with others. He has challenged my conception of what a leader can be, demonstrating firsthand the possibilities of managing with both empathy and dependability.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

- Winston Churchill

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.

- Joseph Campbell

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no 'brief candle' to me. It is sort of a splendid torch which I have a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it over to future generations.

- George Bernard Shaw

In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.

- Brother David Steindl-Rast

If you study the root causes of business disasters, over and over you’ll find this predisposition toward endeavors that offer immediate gratification. If you look at personal lives through that lens, you’ll see the same stunning and sobering pattern: people allocating fewer and fewer resources to the things they would have once said mattered most.

- Clayton Christensen

The first task of a leader is to keep hope alive.

- Joe Batten

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

- Peter F. Drucker

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.

- Albert Einstein
