Make Space. Take Space.

Hi, I’m Kirsten, founder and Executive Coach

I’ve spent 25 years leading in one of the most male‑coded environments on the planet. I understand the dynamics, the politics, and the pressure — not in theory, but in lived experience. Now I help senior women lead with influence, integrity, and ease.

"Your encouragement and belief in my potential have been incredibly motivating, and I feel more prepared than ever to pursue my career aspirations."

The experience of executive coaching with Kirsten encouraged me to include more reflection in my work routines, and I have been able to incorporate the coaching techniques into my own approach as a manager. Thank you, Kirsten!

Kirsten has a unique, very calm way of posing questions that, when you answer them, results in crystal clear thinking. Once you have that, crafting the next steps becomes quite straight forward. It's as if all the distractions fall away.
