You want more from your career, more clarity, more momentum, more meaning.
Whether you're just starting out, ready to lead at a higher level, or looking to pivot into something that feels more aligned, you’re not here to coast. You’re here to move forward with purpose.
But in a world of constant change, shifting hiring practices and AI-driven disruption, talent alone isn’t enough.
You need a strategy. You need visibility. You need to self-advocate like never before.
I work with professionals who are ready to:
Do work that energises them - not just work they can do
Build clarity about what’s next and how to get there
Position their value in a way that opens the right doors
Navigate the impacts of AI and stay future-fit
Show up with confidence, credibility and direction
Whether you’re exploring, advancing or evolving, this is about taking ownership of your career and leading it with intention.
Stop waiting to be chosen. Start building a career that reflects who you are and where you’re going.
Because when you're clear, visible and future-ready, you become unstoppable.
I’m Kirsten McKinnon - Career Growth & Visibility Strategist
Clear Direction, Build Momentum, Move Forward.
How We Work Together
Career Direction & Momentum Session
The Career Direction & Momentum Session is a focused 1:1 conversation designed for capable people who feel stalled, overwhelmed or unsure about their next move and want to stop circling the same questions.
This session helps you cut through noise, pressure and second-guessing so you can identify what actually makes sense for you right now and take confident action without overthinking or regret.
This session is for you if:
You feel capable but uncertain about your next step
You’re weighing multiple options and don’t want to choose the wrong one
You feel behind, restless or stuck in pause mode
You’re navigating a transition (career change, return to work, reset or rethink)
You want progress - not motivation, not theory
What makes this different
We focus on:
Understanding where you are now
Identifying the most aligned and realistic options available to you
Avoiding common traps that waste time and energy
Choosing a clear next step that builds momentum
Clarity creates movement.
Movement restores confidence.
What you’ll walk away with
By the end of the session, you’ll have:
Clear direction based on your reality, not someone else’s expectations
Confidence in your next move
Practical actions you can take immediately
A sense of momentum instead of mental drag
Most people describe the shift as relief first — then energy.
Why this works
People don’t stay stuck because they lack ability.
They stay stuck because they’re carrying too many options without a framework to decide.
This session gives you that framework - calmly, practically and without overwhelm.
This session also includes three carefully selected resources to help you gain clarity faster and build momentum beyond the session. Click the button below to learn more.
“Thank you for being so supportive this past year Kirsten and providing me with clear, achievable steps towards my goals. You really helped propel me forward, skyrocketing my confidence. With your fine tuning of my resume, I have been accepted into the United Nations program in NYC, plus am starting my Masters at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. This is the world’s number one program in International Relations and Security Studies and they only accept 18 students per year. I also received offers of multiple scholarships from other universities, plus received the Deans Award and a research position offer from American University. Additionally, I networked with many influential people on LinkedIn like you suggested and the universe has been opening up for me. You’re incredible at what you do for others!
