More about Kirsty
Kirsty lives in St Albans, Hertfordshire with her partner and daughter. She believes in living life for the here and now and enjoying every day for what it brings. She passionately loves travel and experiencing different cultures as well as playing tennis, gardening and socialising with friends. She is happiest with a good glass of red wine in hand, close to nature, by the mountains or the sea.
Kirsty’s early career was working within a FTSE 100 pharmaceutical company, starting as a graduate in the role of medical sales representative and then working her way up the career ladder through sales training, sales management and lastly, a then novel role, as national selling skills and coaching manager with responsibilities to set up and lead an internal team of sales performance coaches, develop and implement selling and coaching programmes designed to improve sales force effectiveness.
What you see is what you get
Kirsty’s coaching covers a wide range of topics, from personal leadership style and authenticity, self-awareness and communication, to stepping up to a bigger role or greater challenges, leading a high performing team, managing emotions and stress and considering next career moves.
The main gains clients identify from their work with her are increased self-awareness, along with improved clarity around drivers, values, motivation and aspirations. They often also cite a timely and welcome reminder of their individual skills, talents and capabilities.
In her own words
“Everyone is unique and individual, so my approach varies from client to client. I aim to combine real presence and listening with a sense of fun and light heartedness that helps my clients achieve the results they want in an enjoyable way.”
I like to “hold the space” and ask questions that challenge and enquire, whilst being supportive and empathetic. My agenda is my clients’ agenda and my success is their success. I’ll help you gain clarity, know yourself better and make decisions that make you feel proud.”

Working with Kirsty is transformational. She listens, helps me identify any challenges I may be having and also how to help me address them in the most effective way. Kirsty shares the tools to help me to continue to develop both professionally and personally. More importantly we come up with ways together to help me put what I take away into practice.

A lifeline in achieving tangible results! I have worked with Kirsty in her capacity as an executive coach for over a decade which has seen me successfully redirect my career several times. Each time Kirsty's in depth support and challenge have helped me to build a clear vision of what it is I want to achieve and established how to go about making that vision a reality through strong leadership, resilience, self-awareness and really understanding how to flex style and behaviour. It also helps she's a patient and supportive listener when I'm having a 'soap box' moment! If you're serious about personal and professional growth I'd recommend spending some time with Kirsty.
