Karol Coopman, Managing Partner Coopman’s experiences inspired her to establish Coopman Consulting, offering high-quality, customized HR solutions that resonate with organizations.
As an HR manager, Coopman constantly faced the challenge of finding tailored HR services that met her organization’s needs at reasonable prices. This struggle highlighted a significant market gap in Chile, where HR solutions were often inaccessible. About nine years ago, Coopman left her executive position to establish a company that would provide the services she had long sought. Along with several colleagues she had met over the years, they deliberated on the concept, formulated a comprehensive business plan, and subsequently established Coopman Consulting.
We provide the leadership development solutions we always desired but never received when we were on the other side of the table
The team’s extensive experience and individual expertise have been crucial in addressing long-standing issues in leadership development, including delivering results, inspiring their team, managing diversity, and showing empathy. Coopman Consulting prioritizes clients’ health and well-being and helps them find their ‘Ikigai’ (life purpose). The firm aligns clients’ goals with their leadership style, equipping them with the necessary tools to thrive.
Innovating HR Services and Client Engagement
Coopman Consulting combines different methodologies in neuroscience, agility, health coaching, and long-life learning to meet its client’s needs. Its range of services has evolved since the pandemic.
Previously, everything was delivered in person. Now, the firm offers various hybrid and online options, including numerous webinars for clients with teams across regions like Latin America. These webinars often cover diversity and inclusion, unconscious bias, leadership, and neuroscience.
Coopman Consulting’s commitment to personalized client service extends beyond team-based interventions to one-on-one mentoring, coaching sessions, and immersive boot camps. These boot camps bring together clients and consultants in groups of 20 to 40 participants for an immersive 4 to 5-day experience away from the usual work setting. These sessions concentrate on leadership development and cover various essential skills and concepts, such as agility, innovation, and the significance of personal health and well-being.
In addition, the company manages many projects focused on female leadership, a rapidly growing area within Coopman Consulting, especially in Latin America. These projects range from webinars to building gender equity Employee Resource Groups (ERG), creating communities to discuss these issues, and developing diversity and inclusion champions. The firm also provides comprehensive senior leadership programs tailored for C-suite executives, spanning critical areas such as strategic planning, HR strategy, organizational purpose, and diversity and inclusion.

Our clients highly value our firsthand experience, as every team member has spent considerable time in similar roles, navigating the same challenges they encounter
Coopman Consulting does not offer “plug-and-play” solutions for its clients. Instead, the firm takes the time to get to know each other and assess the “business fit” together. In every meeting, whether via Zoom or in person, the firm focuses on understanding its clients’ problems. The insights gathered during these meetings are directly incorporated into the consultancy proposal. The firm collaborates with clients to develop the business case and desired outcomes, then determines a timeline and chooses the appropriate methodologies, exercises, and practical cases tailored to the leaders, company, and culture.
The efficacy of Coopman Consulting’s programs is evident in its exceptional client retention, with every client returning for additional services or programs. In one instance, it assisted a significant real estate business in Chile in developing an HR strategy and all the people management areas. When the client first approached Coopman Consulting, they were a relatively small company with ambitious growth plans and a strong desire to foster a supportive organizational culture to facilitate their expansion.
Recognizing the client’s potential and unique challenges, the firm built a robust HR framework by establishing a dedicated HR department and crafting a strategic HR plan aligned with the client’s vision for growth. Coopman Consulting implemented several key initiatives throughout its collaboration, including talent attraction and development programs, a structured compensation strategy, employee engagement assessments, and leadership development initiatives. This long-term partnership, now in its fifth year, has been instrumental in transforming the client into Chile’s largest and most innovative real estate company.
Driving Success through Innovation and Expertise
Coopman Consulting’s success is attributable to its innovative approach and growth mindset. It proactively invests in training and acquiring new skills to deliver top-level consultancy instead of ‘old school’ solutions. A highly experienced team of consultants reinforces this dynamic approach, each bringing over 15 years of expertise across diverse fields.
The team’s proficiency in English and extensive global experience enables them to tackle challenges with a broad, international perspective, ensuring that clients receive comprehensive and forward-thinking solutions. Coopman Consulting has established itself as a reliable name in the leadership development space and is continually evolving to meet the demands of the changing business landscape.
