I highly recommend working with Kirsten. Kirsten is a master of moving her clients forward. I have worked with her in her program on and off for over 10 years. Meeting Kirsten and working through her program was transformational for me. I was fortunate to meet her through my employer when I was transitioning into management. They gave me the gift of working with Kirsten. Her coaching strategies on effective communication, breaking barriers, setting expectations, and accountability are impactful. Her approach with coaching is personable, relatable, and structured in a manner that allows her clients to see changes and benefits immediately. All of her methods focus on identifying the challenges, working through communication, and driving a positive culture. I continue to with Kirsten, her approach is timeless. Every session I take away a tool that continues to drive me forward. Thank you Kirsten for sharing your gifts.

Working with Kirsten has been life changing for me in my leadership/management role. I have learned so many things about myself and have embraced the new ideas that have come from my coaching sessions. It has been such an amazing experience and personal growth transformation. I would recommend Kirsten and her leadership coaching any day, she is truly wonderful 🙂

Kirsten has been my personal business coach as well as an outsourced driver of cultural change for many organizations I've worked with. Her ability to examine employee, process, and structural format and identify a pathway to obtain better alignment with the strategic goals of an organization is unparalleled. She connects the strategic plans of an organization with the boots on the ground mentality to make them happen.
Personally, as a business coach, she had an uncanny ability to help me focus, change my own personal communication style, and tempo of interaction with co-workers that ultimately led to a 50% increase in productivity & sales.

Kirsten is an experienced HR professional in a variety of industries. She is willing to get to the sometimes difficult heart of the matter, but does so with empathy and kindness. Her recommended solutions are practical and appropriate for the situation. Her recent department assessments in my organization uncovered issues that had been difficult to "put a finger on" and presented her findings in a way that the receiver could "hear". I would highly recommend Kirsten, especially if you are ready to dig in and resolve issues that may be holding the organization back from peak performance!

My family and I recently worked with Kirsten to assist us in transitioning our family-owned business' leadership from one generation to another. Kirsten was professional, compassionate yet firm and was ultimately instrumental in helping both generations clearly define future goals and to map a course forward. The efficiency in which Kirsten helped us to identify clear objectives was remarkable. I truly didn't know how "teachable" we were as we were at such an impass prior to working with Kirsten; we were struggling to "get out of our own way", so to speak. Once the goals were identified, the work that needed to be done presented ifself. Hiring a third-party, specifically Kirsten, was one of the most valuable business decisions we have made. I personally went from not knowing if I wanted to continue our family legacy to feeling empowered and excited to build on the legacy my parents have built. I'm also reassured knowing that Kirsten is just a phone call away. I highly recommend Kirsten's coaching and business services and will be contacting her again should the need arise.

I had the pleasure of going through executive training with Kirsten. During this time I was also going through a period of very significant professional and personal challenges. If not for Kirsten's coaching, I believe my life would have ended up very differently than it has.

Kirsten was able to identify several areas I needed to improve upon and gave me the tools and encouragement I needed to make big changes in my life happen. I am currently successful, happy and fulfilled and so grateful for having been coached by Kirsten.

Kirsten's style is straightforward and to the point but she also has a strong ability to empathize and offer someone the specific things they need to improve. If you are in need of self improvement Kirsten should be part of your journey. Can't say enough good things about it.

Kirsten is amazing. She has an unique ability to quickly identify the source of issues and provide exactly the advice or solution you need. I highly recommend her for your business or NPO coaching needs.

BACKGROUND
Kirsten's consulting and wisdom helped us triple revenue, while reducing operational effort. We actually saved time while making more money and being happier at the office. Specifically, she identified gaps in our marketing and business development efforts. She had solutions we could apply immediately as well as ideas for long-term investment.

Give Kirsten a call - you won't be disappointed.

I am a general that went from a solo practice with 3 chairs and 4 employees to a group practice with two sons and two daughter in laws and 16 employees with seven chairs in five very challenging years. Not till my son introduced me to Kirsten did I know how much we needed her!. She worked tirelessly with us for six months, responding to emails at two in the morning ( I swear! ), and did not holdback from telling us what we needed to hear and not what we wanted to hear. I am indebted to her forever for bringing harmony and efficiency to our practice. Call her, you will be saved also.
