Kirsten Johansen, MBA

Kirsten is a dynamic interviewer, coach, and facilitator dedicated to helping individuals share their stories, build confidence, and develop their leadership and communication skills. With a background spanning corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and international experience, she brings a unique blend of insight, curiosity, and expertise to her work.


Legacy Podcasts

A natural storyteller and skilled interviewer, Kirsten has a passion for capturing the essence of people’s lives. She previously hosted GTO Freedom for Humans on VoiceAmerica, where she explored personal transformation, self-acceptance, and freedom from the inner critic. Inspired by the profound impact of those conversations, she created GTO Legacies—a personalized podcast experience that preserves life stories, wisdom, and relationships for generations to come.


Confidence Coaching

Kirsten’s journey to confidence was hard-won. As a lifelong perfectionist who never felt “good enough,” she deeply understands the struggle of self-doubt. Through her own transformative work, she uncovered the key to true self-trust—one that isn’t dependent on external validation. Now, she helps others break free from their inner critic, embrace their authentic selves, and move through life with unwavering confidence.


Executive Coaching with English Language Development

With leadership experience across corporate, nonprofit, and entrepreneurial spaces, Kirsten coaches professionals seeking to enhance their executive presence, communication, and English proficiency. She has operated both brick-and-mortar and online businesses, navigated diverse professional landscapes, and understands the challenges of high-level leadership. Her love for languages—bolstered by her experience living internationally and studying Turkish, German, and Maltese—gives her a unique perspective on language learning and cultural fluency.


Kirsten holds a BA, an MBA, and TEFL/TESOL/ESP certifications for teaching English as a Foreign Language.


Giraffe | Tango | Octopus

The Giraffe: Quietly powerful, fiercely loyal, and when it's time to play, watch out for high kicks, neck-swinging, and singing with friends.  The giraffe's heart has three distinct parts, spans two feet, and weighs 25 pounds.

The Tango: Hearts connected, moving in rhythmic unison to create a wonderful, unique, and unstoppable pairing.

The Octopus: A smart, stealthy, introvert. Happy in the solitude of the undersea garden as well as having fun with diverse friends under and above the ocean waves. The octopus has three hearts to power its main brain and eight busy, independent arms.

Recognize the mosaic of your identity, integrating and celebrating your unique talents, cultural heritage, and life experiences.

 

Invest in developing your English proficiency and business acumen, empowering yourself to lead authentically and with unwavering confidence.
