Questions?
You can start chatting with Kirsten before you get started.
I leverage more than two decades of experience in keynote speaking and writing to equip both new and skilled speakers to achieve maximum impact with their presentations to customers, stakeholders, and audiences of all sizes. My background in both business and communication has proved an asset in collaborating with clients from industry, public service, religion, and academia. I've worked with individuals and teams from: Google, Stanford University Graduate School of Business, Oracle, Amazon Web Services, Snap, Adobe, Edward Jones, Abbott, Lockheed Martin, and TEDx programs. I've got a degree in Business Administration from the University of Colorado. As evidence that my true love is communication, I brandish the ability to recite all 46 prepositions in alphabetical order—something I still know from her 7th grade language arts class. (How's that for a party trick?)

Why do I coach?
I was originally a numbers gal, but these days words are my thing. I launched my coaching and consulting practice so I could serve others with all of my experiences and passions. Whether you're giving a keynote address, presenting to executives, or pitching your idea, I'll work with you to ensure you do it in a way that's clear, compelling, and confident. I have been speaking professionally for more than two decades, so I understand what it's like to stand up in front of colleagues and audiences to present (and occasionally goof!).
