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.'
