Your Local Advisor
Meet Kirsty
Hi, I’m Kirsty and I’m part of the Trusted Advisors Network because I’m passionate about coaching and helping people grow and achieve their goals. I joined TAN because they have fantastic and accessible tools and courses, that when combined with my 30 years of corporate leadership experience – in business strategy and planning; managing teams and marketing operations; developing brands; driving great customer experience; and coaching teams and individuals, it gives me all the skills and knowledge to really help small businesses.
I have a particular interest and experience in leadership development (using professional and values assessments) and in team and culture development. I love running workshops to help teams collaborate, adapt, innovate and ultimately be more productive together. And I love helping people see the big picture and stop feeling trapped in day to day and the little details – I call this stepping on the balcony to see what is really happening on the dancefloor, or working ON your business rather than just IN your business.
In one of my corporate roles, when I was in banking, I focused on understanding the needs and motivations of small business customers, so that my marketing, product and retail colleagues could deliver better customer experiences. I quickly learnt that small business can be hard work and owners don’t always get the help they need. In that role I really loved being a champion for small business customers.
And, I’ve also run a small florist business with my Mum, so I’ve got first-hand experience of how hard it can be and of how great it feels when it goes well – I hope I can help other business owners get more of that feeling. 😊
I understand that business owners are working harder than ever for less return, scaling their business is a struggle and they are feeling tied to the business with less time and freedom for the lifestyle they wanted. All of this is why I’m motivated to be the best small business coach I can be and to help as many business owners as I can.
I believe coaching is a partnership, and the essence of a good partnership is shared accountability. At TAN, we show you how to get to ROI within the first three months – that’s my commitment to you. You’ll see pretty quickly that our coaching partnership is a no-brainer investment towards your ideal income, ideal scale and ideal freedom.
Business Advisor
Working with clients on a Return-On-Investment (ROI) basis.
This means the income made by clients as a result of working with us must be at least a 5 times ROI. We believe fee structures should be transparent and accountable. For this reason we have proprietary software to ensure both client and advisor have an ROI “fit” before starting a program.
The objective of a client partnership is to meet agreed performance standards to:
Maximise client income…
Rationalise client effort…
Optimise client scale…
Promoting Locals
Every one of our consultants lives in a local community and drives past hundreds of businesses every day.
Every one of our consultants lives in a local community and drives past hundreds of businesses every day.
Since TAN was established in 2014 we have met, promoted and helped thousands of local businesses with this program. Help has taken many forms from Free PR where businesses are promoted on our social media platforms through to assessing businesses for profit potential. Often business owners will simply want a few pointers from an outside perspective.
All our consultants do this on a voluntary basis as their contribution to building business success.
Planning Sessions
Quarterly Planning
- Every business owner needs to step away from the day-to-day running of their business to think about longer-term issues and opportunities.
- Often the best environment for this is with other business owners who are faced with the same challenge of balancing their operational role with their longer-term role of leading and managing their business towards its goals.
- Quarterly Planning Sessions make this easy where business owners are provided with a structured format to build their plan.
- All planning sessions feature our signature 1-Page Plan that lists out 3 core projects for the upcoming quarter and a scoreboard for monitoring results over the period being planned for.
- Business Owners are provided with a workbook and planning guide to ensure they walk out clear, focused and ready to achieve the projects they have set.

Trusted Advisor Network
Kirsty is part of a dedicated team across Australia & New Zealand.
Our past 18 years in the advisory space has been the catalyst for developing our break-through approach.
Our programs are only offered to clients on an ROI basis after businesses have been analysed to determine the upside available to the business owner. Businesses must demonstrate a 500% ROI to be eligible for a program. This approach has been developed after years of in-field experience of being consultants, coaches, trainers and presenters.
Most importantly, over the last 12 years TAN has developed a deep understanding of working with business owners from every industry imaginable.
It has allowed us to continually develop leading methodologies, systems and intellectual property that makes up our program material. The synergy of working in partnership with our team along with such diverse clients has given us a collaborative culture that has become the most valuable part of the way we operate as a network.
