About Kirsten Ross: (3:22)
Kirsten E. Ross was born and raised in Petoskey, Michigan, a small town near the Mackinac bridge. She has resided in the Detroit area as an adult but she still maintains those small-town values. Kirsten brings a unique blend of energy, insight and compassion to her work with clients. Her passion is helping transform leaders and their relationships, create drama-free work zones, enhance customer loyalty, and improve profits.
How she fell into her own business: (4:18)
Kirsten said that the catalyst to start her own business was actually being in an abusive marriage. Ten years ago, she worked in the field of Human Resource when she was a stay at home mom for a period and her marriage became more and more abusive. She did some soul-searching and come up with a plan to get out, and to take care of herself and her two boys.
Trying to restore order in her marriage life: (5:55)
Kirsten Ross really tried everything, and nothing worked. After she got a call from each of her two sons’ teachers telling her that they were not happy in school, she was 100% certain that she needed to make a decision and start making a plan to end her marriage and leave.
Making the move to get out: (8:40)
Kirsten stayed 100% focused on her business as the catalyst to power the transition. Kirsten got trusted advisers to help create a plan for her business and then she launched her business. And also decided that once she got out, she would take her two boys and create a home that’s filled with laughter. Her full focus was directed to what was in her control for herself and the two kids.
Best Advice: 40:29
“Speak your mind even if your voice shakes; speak up and it know what you want.”
