Kirsten Hemingway - Click Here To Read Kirsten's Articles - Kirsten started her career in the theatre,
on the stage as an actress at first then,
after drama school, back stage as a stage
manager. She worked most of the time in a
role known as Deputy Stage Manager. This
job involves telling the lights when to
light, the sound and curtains when to go
and the actors when to come on to the
stage. It is like conducting an orchestra.
Kirsten began to teach stage management
for the University of London and then
moved in to Directing shows.
In her business career she has been a high
level executive at ExecuTrain, ran her own
sucessful training company and now is the
founder and MD of LifeWorklife.co.uk which
is a recruitment site for flexible
workers.
Kirsten says 'Because I run my own company
I was able to plan my work around my
children and bring them up to school age
myself. I noticed that other parents were
not so lucky and I noticed that companies
needed flexible resources but there was no
where to connect the two. Put the two
together and mix in an ability to stay in
touch and get to know one another and you
have a mixture powerful enough to create a
revolution.'
