Kirsten worked freelance with training vendors for over 25 years, gaining expertise in adjusting to environments on the fly and fixing training programs that weren’t working for clients’ needs. She launched Rourke Training LLC in January 2022 to bring her Prep, Practice, and Pivot method and a focus on instructional design to entrepreneurs and executives who know they need to do public speaking, but are reluctant – or don’t know how – to get started.
