Kirsten comes from the beauty industry but her messages on Goal Setting, Leadership and Team Growth can apply to almost anyone.

Kirsten has seventeen years of management experience: previously having owned her own Day Spa for seven years and currently operating as the Director of her North American wholesale and distribution company, Ziel Distribution. She serves as the creative director behind two of Ziel’s most successful brands, Cosmessential Premium Facial Serums and GummiBand Traceless Hair Cords and also sits on the Board of Directors for the Beauty Council of Western Canada - a licencing board offering certification for professional Cosmetologists, Hairdressers, Barbers and other personal service providers.

Kirsten has always advocated for the individual entrepreneur or “solo-preneur”. Coming from an industry where a large percentage of service providers are self employed, either by working from home or renting a service space in a larger salon, she understands the challenges that these individuals
can face.

Launched in 2019, Kirsten’s newest project is The Focused Entrepreneur Network, a resource aimed at people in solo-preneur situations. The goal of this Network is to proved inspiring stories from successful entrepreneurs about the struggles they faced while building their businesses, and specifically how they rediscovered and maintain their “Focus”.

Kirsten enjoys using her experience to relate to people and excels at speaking in direct interviews, to teams or groups, or through print articles and contributions.
