About Kirsten McKinnon
Career Growth & Visibility Strategist | Reinvention Specialist for Experienced Professionals
You’ve built a career. Now it’s time to be recognised for it and design what comes next on your terms.
I’m Kirsten, and I help experienced professionals go from quietly capable to confidently in demand.
My own career journey has taken many turns - corporate leadership, career pauses, reinvention, and now entrepreneurship. I’ve led large-scale projects, built high-performing teams, and advised across sectors.
But I’ve also felt what it’s like to be stuck between chapters. To wonder, what now?
After stepping away to care for my family following a life-altering accident involving my partner and a near-fatal illness of my daughter, I faced the challenge so many women do: how to return, evolve, and reignite a career with meaning, flexibility, and impact. That experience reshaped everything and became the catalyst for helping others do the same.
Today, I work with professionals at a crossroads:
Mid-career achievers seeking clarity, credibility, and career growth
Reinvention-ready professionals wanting to build a meaningful next chapter
Those entering their “Encore” career” - ready to create something on their own terms
My work blends strategic thinking with practical action. I help you cut through the noise, turn your experience into clear opportunity, and build a presence that opens the right doors.
Because it’s not about starting over.
It’s about standing out - clearly, confidently, and intentionally.
