I’m Kirsten Schmidtke, a professional coach working with entrepreneurs, leaders, individual creators and contributors looking to accelerate their path to success.

I help people and teams restore purpose in their lives while feeling fulfilled in their work and closing the gap to achieve their goals.

Work With Me

Trust = Transformation

I believe that success happens when we build trusted relationships with ourselves and with others.

When you lead with honesty and transparency, you show up in alignment with your purpose, move up the spiral of possibility, and see your life as a contribution. When you are honest with yourself and have deep levels of trust with others, the transformation in your life, your business, and your career knows no limits.

Live in alignment with your purpose, attract what you want, and

step fully into who you are meant to be.

Let's start the conversation

How I work with clients

Private Coaching

Together, we can take it higher.
Step into your next level with purpose, intention, and alignment with private coaching.
As your guide, sounding board, and thinking partner, I help you get clear on what you want, create a plan to get there, and move forward with inspired action. Together, we will look behind closed doors for new ideas, new thinking, and new ways of doing things.
Commit to yourself, gain confidence, and reduce overwhelm and stress. Restore purpose in your life and work, and make decisions faster and with more ease.
If you’re ready to experience transformation in your life and your work, let’s have a conversation.
Group Programs

Connect and collaborate in community.
Learn and build new knowledge while collaborating within a community of like-minded people.
Group programs offer the opportunity to deepen your understanding, increase effectiveness, and deliver results. Through an integrated approach, you will have access to tactics, concepts, and tools to support you.
Stand firmly and confidently in your purpose, present ideas clearly and concisely, and feel enabled and empowered to uplevel.
Speaking & Training

Get inspired. Take action. Experience transformation.
I lead and facilitate conversations that inspire and motivate others to become leaders themselves.
As an energized speaker and masterful listener, I help generate new ideas through new thinking leading to restored purpose and fulfillment in life and work.
By sharing in an interesting and unique manner, drive purpose, productivity, and profitability with authenticity and confidence.

What clients are saying

“I received coaching from Kirsten at a time when I was in the process of a huge transition in my career. I was building my own business and was feeling a bit overwhelmed, stuck and unclear. She held space for me to figure out my way and gently nudged me towards realizing some of my goals. Her firm and also vibrant presence really helped me to actualize some of my biggest dreams and I'm so grateful for her guidance. If you are looking for a bright light to lead you back to your soul's desires, she is IT!”

~Nikki

“Kirsten led our staff through a series of three short workshop sessions. We all found the exercises in the workshop to be thought-provoking and helpful as we slowed down and took time to focus our thinking on change and its impact on each of us. It also helped us to consciously decide to navigate through this time of transition with positive thinking, achievable goals, and strengths that have come from past experience. Ultimately, the workshop's greatest gift to us as staff was to encourage deeper communication and acknowledge the strength that we have as a team.”

“Kirsten is incredible at holding space for individuals. She actively listens, which is something I teach in the work that I do, so it’s awesome to be on the receiving end of this practice. Her ability to listen to her own intuition and know when to ask hard questions, when to reflect back what I’m saying, when to challenge me, when to offer new perspective, and when to sit in silence to let things process and sink in has been everything that I didn’t even know I needed. I believe working with her has truly opened my eyes, mind, and most of importantly, my heart. I’m so grateful for her and her guidance.”

“Your superpower is your dedication to helping others dig deeper and get clear on goals.

I appreciate your approach to challenging me to hold up a mirror, this was uncomfortable but ultimately transformative.”
