Meet
Scott Kirkendall
I help LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs have an income breakthrough so they can finally have the business and life they desire.
My clients get more of what they want. They're consistently attracting high quality business with confidence and exceeding their income goals.
I've come out twice in my life. When I was 18 I came out to family and some friends as lesbian. I spent the better part of 3 decades in corporate jobs hiding in the closet. Leading a double life was draining. The anxiety I carried from worrying what people would think of me or believing I might lose my job if someone found out about me had me exhausted, often depressed, and experiencing migraines. When I came out as transgender in my late 40s, I had a job which required me to tell a lot of people, so it was kind of a public transition. I've been stepping out of the closet ever since.
The more time I spend out of the closet, the more confidence I have.
That's why I am so passionate about helping LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs get consistent income exceeding their goals.
Growing a business gives you the freedom to live life your way, get more of what you want, and have tons of fun!
My transition has transformed my life in ways I never could have imagined. It’s changed the way I treat myself, how I interact with others, and how I move through the world. Though challenging, it’s had a positive impact on every aspect of my life.
I’m finally being true to me. Now, I feel as though it’s my duty to pay it forward to my community. I use my personal experience and my coach training to help others overcome the fear, pain, and denial that has kept us in the closet, so they, too, can embrace the authentic, extraordinary, and special individuals they’re meant to be and confidently build 6 figure businesses with reliable income.
Raves!
“I engaged Scott for two reasons:
1. I needed someone to help me sort through my personal vision and align that vision with my work and path forward.
2. I felt comfortable with Scott from the first time I met him. As we are both members of the LGBTQ community, I could trust that Scott would understand me better than others.
Scott is very easy to work with WHILE keeping focused on goals we collaboratively set. His life experience is an asset to his coaching as he approaches coaching with deep empathy and the right amount of accountability. The truth is, I could not wait for our next meeting as I could really dive into the work with no friction.
As a result of working with Scott, I have a clearly defined vision for myself as well as goals for my continued growth and development. I am taking on a new role as CEO of a start-up, and while one can never be 100% ready, I have tools to increase my chances of success in my role and for the business. And I have some support should I need it. Coaching from Scott has been a gift to myself as well as my family and business colleagues. I feel like I can just breathe into what’s next and believe that I can do the next right thing with confidence.”
“Scott spoke to our company’s employee resource groups and others about the importance of being your authentic self. It was a great session that covered very relevant and meaningful advice that we could all immediately put into practice. Scott was open and honest about his/their experience, and the vulnerability that was shared really resonated with everyone that attended. I highly recommend Scott to anyone looking to progress in their career by being more authentic.”
“Coaching with Scott changed my life for the better in so many different ways. Before working with Scott, I would describe myself as a “hot mess,” I wasn’t sure what my future was going to look like and was fearful of things not turning out the way I wanted them to, yet I wasn’t clear of how I wanted things to even be. I also had a deep fear of disappointing people and I felt anxious and overwhelmed about “breaking the status quo.” Scott was the person I needed to help me make it through this huge transition in my life. His coaching helped me get clear about what I wanted my future to look like and who I wanted to be. He helped me figure out where my fears came from, how to no longer let them hold me back from creating a life I loved and that was aligned with who I was. He was so easy to talk to and listened to me from a nonjudgmental place. He challenged me to show up as my best self, even when I was afraid and because of that I have had so many amazing opportunities come my way and improved relationships. I started my coaching with Scott as a “hot mess” and ended it as a brave, confident, and inspiring woman going after her dreams.”
“I am thankful for my coaching sessions with Scott. They have taught me how to improve my own life potential. He helped me identify what was stopping me from reaching my full potential. Many of the beliefs that were holding me back were self created, limiting me even before I tried anything. He helped me identify these beliefs and we talked through which ones were based on experience and which were based on my assumptions. I have changed and the times have changed. It is never too late to live a life worth living, and Scott had helped me to approach challenges in my life.”
“Scott is such a phenomenal, inspirational coach! Each week I looked forward to our coaching sessions and came away with action items and a higher energy level.
His ability to intuitively know where I needed to get to was not only helpful for my process, but also really enlightening to see in action.
I would highly recommend Scott to anyone needing a coach and use him again myself in a heartbeat!”
“I reached out to Scott for guidance on how to talk to and support my niece who appears to be transitioning but no one in the family is talking about it. My husband and I were worried that she would feel like she had to hide it from us and we just want to support her in whatever way would be best for her but we were not sure how to broach the subject. Scott gave me great advice on what our niece might be feeling and some suggested wording we could use that would help her feel supported but not pressured to answer in any particular way. In the end, my husband decided to use th talking points to talk to his sister, my niece’s mom, about whether her daughter was transitioning and how we could best support our niece. They ended up having a really great conversation, maybe the best one they have ever had as siblings, and together agreed on the best next steps. The upshot of Scott’s coaching is that we, as family members, feel better equipped to support our loved one and each other through this process. His coaching was invaluable!”
