Client Stories
CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) - Cracking the Engagement Code: Wolf's Transition to Top-Rated Trainer!
After teaching a 2-day Zero Trust class online, Wolf chatted with me. The sessions were well attended with some engagement, but he wanted to see what would improve them. In our strategy session, we spoke about what would make the attendees more active participants. He implemented my suggestions with the next group. It was a success, leading to his training sessions being highly rated and requested. Wolf is now a regular client.
CEO (Chief Executive Officer) - Mastering the Stage: Nicole's Leap from Apprehension to Assurance!
Nicole worked with me on her first conversion event , an online masterclass. We strategized on displaying confidence, effectively interacting with an audience, tweaking the deck, and ways to keep the presentation and conversation flowing. Her masterclass was a smooth success!
Entrepreneur - Rosie's Swift Success: Elevating Presentation Skills in 60 Minutes!
Rosie contacted me to elevate her online presentation skills. We met for one hour, before she delivered an online workshop. We focused on rapport, confidence, ways to get useful feedback. The event went extremely well, and she received amazing (and helpful) feedback.
Mid-sized company - LMS Mastery: Rourke Training's Tailored Tech Recommendations!
Mike brought Rourke Training in to solve a big issue. Which LMS would be a good fit for the company?. My team and I were able to get very specific guidelines of what would work best for them. After getting demos and details from 30 vendors, we gave them a breakdown of the three LMS's that we recommend. We are currently doing a second project with them to create two new courses on the LMS they select. This includes filming and editing 47 videos and doing 15 remote interviews.

What Do People Say?
I had the wonderful opportunity to experience Kirsten during an event I attended. Her energy, charisma and passion for online learning and how to be the best presenter you can be was electrifying. She had the audience mesmerized. She works with leaders on effectively creating conversation and/or inspiration in online meetings and events. I could see leaders' eyes light up with their awareness "I Can DO THIS!" Hire her to speak at your event, train your leaders or get coaching from her. She knows her stuff.

Kirsten is one of a select few trainers that we often get requests for from our clients. She has always been great to work with and arrive at a solution that is acceptable to all. I have enjoyed working with her and the knowledge that she brings to the table is second to none. I am glad to know her and would recommend her highly to anyone needing her services

I wanted to elevate my online presentation skills, and I knew that I needed to work with Kirsten because she is always full of amazing advice. I met with Kirsten for one hour, which transformed my online presentation skills. Yesterday I delivered an online workshop, and it went extremely well. I implemented so many of Kirsten's recommendations which made such a huge difference. I felt confident from the start of the workshop.
I was able to build rapport with the participants from the minute they joined the call. I personalized the conversation, implemented QR codes, and even provided feedback links. I received feedback that was awesome! Thank you Kirsten for delivering what you promised. 🙂

Rosie Zilinskas
Executive Career Strategist
I worked with Kirsten on a number of instructional projects during my time as a creative director for Connect For Education. During that time, she consistently displayed the utmost professionalism and dedication to completing the task at hand, regardless of the obstacles in the way. Her caring nature and warm disposition make her someone who is a joy to work with.
She infuses any situation with bright, positive energy and has a special talent for motivating those around her. She is direct, she is honest and she is always ready to defend what's right. I highly recommend Kirsten to anyone who is lucky enough to have crossed paths with her.

Josh Halford
Creative Director
Kirsten is a top-notch podcast host! I had the privilege of being interviewed on her show and have listened to other guests she hosted as well.
What I most like about her as a host is that she really shoots from the hip and inserts her own vast experience and expertise to supplement what guests are sharing. It's the building of dialogue with each party adding more to what is being discussed where I feel the one can get the most value. In essence, tapping into the expertise of both the guest and host.
She's a delightful conversationalist and super smart!!!! I love that!
