Sarah Blattler, MBA, is an Operations Manager at Audigy and a recipient of Audigy’s coveted Anthony Award for Positive Thinking. Sarah’s dedication and expertise shine through in her role as she works to support Audigy’s members in achieving their goals and improving their communities.
Her Role at Audigy
Sarah’s position as Operations Manager is all about driving success for Audigy’s members. She’s not only a strategic thinker but also a hands-on problem solver. Sarah spends her days meeting with members (virtually and in person), researching key performance indicators (KPIs), and collaborating with her immediate SBU team and Audigy staff. Her goal is to deliver strategic recommendations that align with her members’ values and aspirations.
Her work goes beyond traditional operations management. By focusing on incremental implementation, she ensures that the changes she recommends are practical, manageable, and set up for long-term success. Her role also involves staying on top of industry trends and best practices, equipping her with the knowledge to offer innovative solutions tailored to each member’s unique needs.
A Day in the Life
No two days are alike for Sarah. A typical morning might start with a member meeting to discuss their vision of success and explore strategic opportunities for their practice. From there, Sarah dives into analyzing data to identify trends and potential areas for growth. By midday, she’s collaborating with colleagues to prepare actionable recommendations and ensuring that every plan is aligned with the member’s goals.
Sarah’s afternoons often involve teamwork—whether it’s with her direct team or with the entire Audigy family. She values the input and expertise of her colleagues, fostering a collaborative environment where ideas can be exchanged freely. By the end of the day, Sarah might be updating members on progress, tackling new challenges, or brainstorming innovative solutions for their operational needs.
Her colleague shared, “Sarah’s ability to seamlessly balance strategic thinking with practical implementation is a game-changer for our members. She brings clarity and focus to even the most complex challenges, and her positive attitude inspires everyone around her.”
Supporting Audigy’s Members
Sarah’s mission is to help members succeed, and she does so by first gaining a deep understanding of their practices and the communities they serve. Drawing on her academic background — including an MBA — and her years managing medical practices, she excels in operational analysis, strategic planning, and performance management.
What sets Sarah apart is her personalized approach. She tailors her recommendations to align with each member’s unique goals and values. From the brainstorming stage to implementation, Sarah ensures every step of the process is thoughtful and results-driven. Her support extends beyond strategy, as she actively works to foster long-term loyalty and trust between Audigy and its members.
One peer noted, “Sarah’s ability to truly listen and understand our members’ needs sets her apart. Her recommendations are not just insightful — they’re actionable and make a tangible impact.”
Personal & Professional Growth
Sarah’s journey at Audigy began as an Operations Manager for Practice Developer-C (PDC), a role focused on supporting practices across the U.S. and Canada. Her transition to supporting Enterprise members allowed her to take on the unique challenges of multilocation and operationally complex businesses. This career progression is a testament to Audigy’s commitment to employee development.
Sarah credits Audigy’s supportive culture for her growth. “Audigy has given me the opportunity to translate my experience as a practice administrator into a consultant role that impacts dozens of practices across North America. The encouragement and collaboration I’ve experienced here have been invaluable,” she shares.
Life Outside of Work
When Sarah isn’t helping members succeed, she’s enjoying life on her family’s hobby farm. Tending to the garden, chickens, and goats brings her a sense of peace and fulfillment. Riffing on the theme of finding peace, she also loves hiking, yoga, and tai chi.
Sarah’s passion for community building extends to her volunteer work. She’s dedicated to supporting education, sustainability, and lifelong wellness through various initiatives, including school programs and community-sustainability organizations.
A Career Rooted in Problem-Solving
Sarah’s career journey is marked by a knack for solving challenges. Before joining Audigy, she owned and managed a multilocation medical massage clinic for 17 years. This experience gave her firsthand insight into the hurdles faced by private practices and equipped her with the skills to provide actionable, effective solutions. Combining this with her MBA, Sarah is uniquely positioned to help members navigate their own challenges with confidence and clarity.
Looking Ahead
What’s next for Sarah? She’s excited to continue growing within Audigy and contributing to its mission of empowering members and their communities. Whether she’s providing strategic insights, tending to her farm, or volunteering, Sarah remains committed to making a meaningful impact — both personally and professionally.
