Meet the team putting the human back into your professional development

Meet The Team | KG Management Development & Coaching

We could provide you with an endless list of qualifications and accreditations, but we’re not going to (we’ve got them if you’d like to see them, though).

It’s not that they don’t matter; it’s just that they won’t help you get to know who we are and how we work.

We’re a team of people who’ve been where you are. We want to see you make things happen, which is why we’re doing development differently.

Any questions? All you need to do is ask.

Kirstie Garrett

Executive Coach and Leadership Development Consultant

The go-to for real human connection and applying theory and insight to the actual day job. In other words, getting things done.

With a straight-talking, no-nonsense approach that’s firmly rooted in commercial reality, Kirstie is the antithesis of ‘chalk and talk’. Before founding KG Management Development & Coaching, she enjoyed a varied and extensive career at Centrica, holding several roles with a strong focus on learning, development, and talent.

Having, as she puts it, ‘cut her teeth’ (an understatement if ever there was one) in the corporate world, Kirstie has spent the last 15 years bringing her unique blend of grit and commerciality to her work with a range of industries and businesses. Having worked with global corporations, smaller enterprises and everything in between, she’s clear that ‘size doesn’t matter’, it’s getting the very best from your teams that does.

Kirstie knows that your people are the most expensive asset your business has, and she now works with MDs, directors and senior team members, as they get clear about what they need.

Putting the human back into professional development, and bringing contagious energy and the highest standards to your organisational table, you’ll turn thinking into doing and reach your full potential.
