Become the uniquely influential leader you were meant to be.

Sound familiar?

 

I’m on the verge of a major career inflection point, and I can’t get there on my own.

I’ve always been an achiever. Promotions and compensation have come consistently over the course of my career. Until now.

I know I need to make a strategic investment to get to the next level, and I’m looking for the right coach who can help me tell my story—and take the next big leap.

They say I need to improve my “executive presence.” What does that mean?

I know I need to better curate how I come across, but I also want to speak and write in a way that feels “like me” — I want to be impactful and authentic.

I’m looking for a partner who will help me identify my blind spots so I can communicate most effectively. I want to start getting recognized for my executive presence, not reprimanded for it.

 

We need to improve the communication skills of our company’s leadership team.

Our company is facing new challenges in the post-pandemic world, and connecting with our clients—and our people—is harder, and more important, than ever before.

We need a collaborative partner to help our senior leaders more effectively reach, encourage, motivate and regain the trust of our teams, now.

I need to really connect with people to achieve our mission.

As a non-profit leader, I must connect my organization’s vision, mission and purpose to the community we serve and the people who support it — with personally meaningful, compelling stories.

This will help us reach our financial goals and realize the change we envision for the world.

Hi, I’m Kirsten.

I’m perpetually curious about the relationship between resilience and effective communication.

In my 20+ years coaching executives, the biggest gap—and bridge—I’ve observed between instability and influence is personal resilience. Resilient leaders are impactful, influential communicators.

And I’d love to help YOU bridge that gap, too.
