Clear guidance for the conversations that matter most.
For more than 30 years, Kirsten has helped leaders understand what is really happening beneath team friction and act on it with clarity.
Kirsten understands that business decisions are never only business decisions.
They affect livelihoods, relationships, identity, and legacy. That is especially true in a family business, where the boardroom conversation and the dinner-table conversation are never fully separate.
Kirsten built Focus Forward Coaching while raising two young sons as a single mother. Her own path demanded tenacity, honesty, and a willingness to face what was difficult rather than work around it.
Today, her coaching is candid, practical, and deeply human. She creates space for people to speak honestly, hear each other, and agree on what changes next.
