I went to speak with Kirsten as I was contemplating the next steps for my business and about to embark on my first equity fundraising. She is sharp, smart and insightful. She quickly focuses down to critical areas and rapidly understands the key drives of a business. Kirsten's advice was insightful and helpful. As an "owner/ founder", she allowed me to see the "wood-from-the-trees" and focus on the three or four things that will make a difference to my business."

I am not exaggerating when I say Kirsten helped me get me life back on track. She listens patiently and then applies her valuable experience, wisdom and training to help me sort out my issues. She gently guided me to see my inner strength and tackle a significant personal problem. I won...with Kirsten on my team. I highly recommend Kirsten's Personal Development Advice.
