The Journey
Kirsten’s journey began with a degree in Law and training as a Solicitor before embarking on a career in retail—a decision that would shape her future as a strategic leader and mentor.

In addition to her corporate roles, Kirsten owned and managed a successful holiday rental business for 12 years before the pandemic, giving her firsthand experience as an entrepreneur and valuable insight into the challenges faced by small business leaders.
A casual remark from a colleague made her realise that mentoring had been the consistent thread throughout her career. Supporting others in their professional growth was what truly fulfilled her, leading Kirsten to focus on coaching and mentoring as her primary work.
