“Hands down – the BEST coach that I’ve worked with in all my years. She has really helped strengthen my overall presence and just my overall “game” to the next level. She is practical in her approach by using real work situations and instant feedback. The most amazing thing about Kirsten is her ability to “tell it like it is” and really push me to focus on creating new “muscle memories” so that prior behaviors are unlearned and I continue to move forward adding value to the company and team.”
