About Rushdi Kirsten Career clarity for professionals who feel stuck, burnt out, or quietly disengaged
Introducing Rushdi Kirsten
Founder & Career Coach, Grow Coaching, Perth
“I help professionals stop running on empty and finally build a career that energises them again.”
I didn’t start Grow Coaching to become a coach.
I started it after spending 15+ years leading teams, watching high-performing people slowly burn out while still “doing everything right” on paper.
They weren’t failing. They’d simply outgrown their roles, their environment, or the version of themselves their career had been built around.
That experience shaped how I coach today: practical, grounded, and focused on clarity, not hype or forced change.
I’m a Level 1 and Level 2 Coach Mastery certified coach, with deep experience across leadership, people management, and career strategy. My work blends evidence-based coaching with real-world leadership experience.

What Makes Rushdi Kirsten Grow Coaching Different?
Most career coaching focuses on motivation or surface-level change.
My work is different, I focus on helping you understand why you’re stuck, not just what to do next. I coach mid-to-senior professionals who want more than generic advice, they need strategies that work. I've helped over 200 professionals in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart and Australia-wide gain clarity, avoide burnt out, secure promotions, land new roles, and strengthen their career presence.

Career coaching FAQ
Career coaching can feel vague until you’ve experienced it. These are the most common questions I’m asked by professionals who feel stuck, burnt out, or unsure about their next move, but still want a practical, grounded way forward.
What is career coaching and who is it for?
Career coaching helps you gain clarity, direction, and confidence in your career when something feels off but you’re not sure what needs to change.
It’s designed for mid to senior-level professionals who are performing well on paper but feel stuck, burnt out, disengaged, or uncertain about their next step. If you want practical guidance rather than motivational talk, career coaching provides structure and a clear way forward.
How is career coaching different from therapy or counselling?
Therapy focuses on healing past experiences and emotional wellbeing. Career coaching is future-focused and action-oriented.
While emotions and mindset do come up, especially around burnout or self-doubt, the focus of coaching is on:
Gaining clarity
Making aligned decisions
Building confidence
Taking realistic, practical next steps
The goal is forward momentum, not revisiting the past.
How is your coaching different from other career coaches?
My coaching is structured, evidence-based, and grounded in real leadership experience.
I’ve spent over 15 years leading and supporting professionals inside organisations, not just coaching from theory. That means we focus on what actually works in real workplaces, not generic advice. There’s no pressure to chase titles, quit your job, or make drastic changes. We work with where you are and help you make decisions that fit your values, energy, and long-term goals.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before starting coaching?
No. Most clients don’t.
Many people come to coaching because they’ve outgrown their role or career direction but can’t clearly articulate what they want next. Feeling unsure or stuck is often the starting point. The early stages of coaching focus on understanding what’s really going on, what’s keeping you stuck, and what realistic options are available to you.
Can career coaching help with burnout and disengagement?
YYes. Burnout and disengagement are two of the most common reasons people seek career coaching.
Burnout is often less about workload and more about misalignment, lack of direction, or staying in a role you’ve outgrown. Coaching helps you understand why you’re feeling the way you are and what needs to change so you can move forward sustainably.
Do you help with resumes, LinkedIn, and interview preparation?
Yes, where it makes sense.
Career tools like resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and interview preparation are part of the process when they support your overall career direction. They’re not treated as standalone fixes. If you already know your direction and only need targeted interview preparation, that can also be supported through focused coaching sessions.
