Rebecca Kirstein is a powerhouse. Professional, progressive, proactive are a few of the words that come to mind, to describe this multi-talented entrepreneur. She is the quintessential entrepreneur, full of ideas, wisdom and enthusiasm, but with the power of persistence to follow through with her ideas, build loyal communities to help execute her plans and inspire others to join her in her many ventures.

Her talents lie in many areas of youth education, sponsorship, community building, social enterprise and... oh yes, she’s a fantastic photographer to boot.
 Generous with her time, Rebecca is a visionary action taker, who is makes things happen, whilst creating fun on the journey. She has talents few possess.

I have had the privilege to work with Rebecca in several different capacities. Rebecca is a talented photographer, inspiring entrepreneur, and a person of ACTION! She doesn’t just talk about business, project and event ideas – she actually makes them happen.

She believes in abundance and uses collaboration, partnerships & sponsorship effectively to move business ideas forward. Her advice and introductions have been invaluable to the growth of my business.

I also admire her ability to ‘fail fast’. The majority of Rebecca’s businesses and projects are overwhelming successes, but when she had one that was not, she moved on quickly, and she shares what she learned to support other entrepreneurs. She is generous with her talent, knowledge & time and gives back to other entrepreneurs and to her community – including the next generation.

Rebecca Kirstein is one of the most dynamic, collaborative and forward-thinking leaders I've ever met. Her ability to connect with people and inspire new ways of thinking is tremendous, and helps power both her and the people she knows toward their goals.

Rebecca's strong work ethic has seen her build and develop a number of companies and enterprises over the years; when she believes in something, she is unafraid of throwing her energy behind it to make sure it grows and strengthens.

Whip-smart, articulate and deeply insightful, Rebecca is a true thought leader in the social enterprise space. She brings a clear-headed ability to prioritize and knows how to ask questions in order to develop effective solutions to challenges. Fuelled by a desire to make things work better, Rebecca is a powerful change agent with a deep-rooted commitment to social good.

It has been such a pleasure learning from Rebecca and being a participant in the Raise a Dream program! The program is phenomenal - I learned so much about sponsorships and Rebecca was so much fun to work with. She certainly knows her stuff and and organizes the material into all the steps necessary to succeed! Rebecca and Charmaine make an incredible team!

Insightful, clear, dedicated, and a true leader are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to describing Rebecca Kirstein. I teach leaders how to work with and follow through on their intuitive hits, and it's clear she listens -- and listens well -- to her intuition with her actions, words, and internal knowing that brings out the best in all who are lucky to cross her path.

I am one of those lucky ones to have Rebecca in my life. She, along with her partner, Charmaine Hammond, have taught and coached me on the art of sponsorship from an authentic place sharing openly what worked and didn't work. I highly recommend Rebecca, a gold mine of information, as a presenter and coach on the topic of sponsorship. She is brilliant!

Rebecca is amazing! She's friendly, willing to share her knowledge, works well with people and makes you feel like you're her best friend.

Working with Rebecca allowed me to gain insight into sponsorship. The workshop she does with Charmaine Hammond is OUTSTANDING. Run to this -- Don't walk -- it will help you no matter what you do. And she is funny too!

My new project is being fueled with what I’m learning from Charmaine. She is a treasure chest full of ideas and generous with them too. Our two minds snap, crackle, and pop when we talk. So much so that I’ve hired her as my mentor/coach. I want MORE of what she knows and has to offer. My upcoming Tiny Home Big Dog tour has more sponsorship and collaboration possibilities than I would have thought of on my own and that’s from our first strategy call! Thank you Charmaine.

Charmaine Hammond is a gem! Her savvy insights into building relationships, finding sponsors, and developing collaborations have been immensely helpful to me. I’d highly recommend Charmaine to grow your business!

Doing a strategy call with Charmaine literally blew my mind with all the potential ways I could maximize relationships with corporate sponsors.

Charmaine is very caring, enthusiastic, creative, and incredibly resourceful. She gave me phenomenal advice on how to approach sponsors, establish relationships, being really specific with my asks, and how our relationship can benefit both of us.

I highly recommend Charmaine if you want to know how to develop effective, long-term relationships with sponsors.

Charmaine Hammond is a heart-centered businesswoman who seamlessly thinks outside the box and captures ideas from the realm of possibilities.

In an amazing strategy session, Charmaine offered her expertise in a way that ignited my enthusiasm for finding more speaking engagements and developing unique ways to think about sponsors and sponsorship. She generously shared stories and strategies as to how she herself and her clients were able to build relationships with business owners and entrepreneurs that led to the sponsorships of everything from a speaking series to a book tour!

Charmaine is truly gifted in the area of sponsorship! Her engaging, open coaching style welcomes you to into her world of "What if?" and invites you to see your business, projects, or events in a whole new light.

Connect with Charmaine to help you transform your dream into a reality!
