“Poignant, Raw, and Powerful… More Than Words: Turn #MeToo into #ISaidSomething is a courageous account of surviving harassment in the workplace. The author unveils what those on the outside can’t see and extends an invitation for empathy, solidarity, and transformation. Kirsten liberates her experience by exposing the toxic work culture generations of women have silently endured and still undergo today. Her vulnerability is palpable on every page. This story brilliantly guides us through self-reflection, honesty, valor, and empowerment. A must-read to help men and women to break the cycle and change the narrative.”

A fierce and fearless advocate for employees. A problem for employers facilitating locker room rhetoric. Kirsten is a bullhorn for topics long overdue.

Kirsten’s presentation was so helpful in understanding what it’s like to actually experience harassment on the job and what can come from actually reporting it, both good and bad. While we receive annual corporate training on this matter it’s so much more impactful to hear from someone who has lived it AND survived it.

Kirsten was a huge draw for Central Iowa SHRM’s Legal & Legislative Conference. Many of our members specifically mentioned their excitement over hearing that she would be speaking, and her presentation did not disappoint! She did a great job conveying the damage sexual harassment in the workplace can do to the people involved while encouraging our group of HR professionals to make a difference in the important battle for change we find ourselves in. She was an inspiration to us all.
