  • Kirsti coached me during a pivotal point in my career. She has an incredible way of empowering you and whilst she claims to not give you the answers, you come away from every single session with real clarity and confidence. If I could keep Kirsti in my pocket with me at all times, I would! She was instrumental in making me believe in my potential, and it's that belief that has in turn enabled me to realise ambitions I never thought I could. I'd recommend Kirsti to anyone. And thank you Kirsti, for everything.

  • Working with Kirsti as my career coach has been a transformative experience. What sets Kirsti apart is her exceptional ability to seamlessly balance the roles of coach and mentor, providing both guidance and empowerment. Her insightful perspective on key challenges has been invaluable in helping me reinterpret them as opportunities for growth and improvement. Kirsti possesses a deep understanding of theoretical models, yet she goes beyond that by helping me explore various angles and consider the most effective strategies to achieve my desired outcomes. Her dedication to my personal and professional development has been unwavering, and I am immensely grateful for the positive impact she has had on my journey.

  • A successful friend in the industry recommended I speak to Kirsti. He told me, "She is both straight talking and immensely compassionate". After an initial consultation, we agreed to work together weekly and after 4 months I feel her coaching and advice has been invaluable. Kirsti was able to balance coaching me to help my self-awareness and confidence with mentoring advice too. This meant I had all the tools I needed to be able to deal with any difficult situation that came up.

  • Kirsti is a real empath who has an amazing ability to understand the challenges of people around her. I had the pleasure of working with Kirsti shortly after I returned to work after my 2nd child. I was a bit lost, totally overwhelmed and felt like I needed to be everything to everyone but Kirsti really to help create confidence, focus and rational, clear direction throughout the fog of trying to juggle it all.

  • Kirsti’s approach is refreshingly direct, empathetic, and insightful. These sessions have been instrumental in quietening my inner critic. During a recent session, Kirsti helped me in uncovering a situation in my past that was influencing both my inner critic and reaction to specific situations. This has had a transformational change to me not only in my professional life but in my personal life too. What sets my experience with Kirsti apart from other business coaching is her holistic approach, considering me as a whole person. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for coaching. Thanks, Kirsti, for all the support.

  • "Kirsti was a game-changer during a critical transition in my career. She helped me find the clarity I needed to tackle tough decisions, and I’ve been working with her ever since. Her sessions remain incredibly valuable, giving me the perspective and confidence to make key choices and handle challenging situations"

    Managing Director Technology Sector

  • "My monthly session with Kirsti has fast become the single most important hour in my diary. There are three points of value for me personally that have led to me being a more confident individual. • Creates a safe space for me to download and decompress, building trust – she seeks to truly understand my context. • Delivers each session in an agile way based on what is going on, demonstrating empathy – she seeks to make every session relevant. • Challenges me to solve my own problems with helpful frameworks to test, embodying a coaching mindset – she encourages me to hold myself accountable to putting discussion into action. The modern working context is not straightforward, and the varied asks & demands can be overwhelming, and Kirsti has helped me become more accepting of this reality and confident to respond and lead in an effective way."

  • “When I was returning to work after my first child, I stumbled with my own confidence, purpose and priorities. Kirsti provided me with both the tools and the guidance to gain clarity in specific situations but also help me set the foundations to build my confidence and ground myself in my purpose moving forward. I cannot express enough gratitude to Kirsti for listening to me vent and helping me translate that into clear actions. I really appreciated the breadth of coaching frameworks, her experience in the industry and I was quick to work with her again when returning to work after my second child.”

    Commercial and Global Change Director

  • "Working with Kirsti changed everything. I came in battling imposter syndrome, second-guessing every decision. Through our sessions, I not only rebuilt my confidence but also found the motivation to push beyond my comfort zone. The way I approach challenges has completely transformed—I now back myself in ways I never did before, stepping into my role with conviction and a renewed sense of purpose."

  • Losing my job was one of the toughest moments of my career, and I felt completely lost. Kirsti’s transition coaching gave me the clarity, confidence, and resilience to navigate the uncertainty and rebuild. Her support helped me regain my self-belief, see new possibilities, and take action. Now, I’m in a role I love, feeling stronger and more motivated than ever."
