hi there.
I'm Kristin Bowen and I'm a coach for people who lead others.
I work with leaders who were rockstars in their role and suddenly found themselves responsible for leading a team, often without any real training or support.
I help new and growing leaders handle the messy people moments they were never trained for: hard conversations, feedback, expectations, accountability, and team dynamics.
I'm a Level 4 CrossFit Coach with over 16 years of experience coaching and developing high performers. Since 2013, I've traveled internationally leading coaching certification courses, working with coaches at every level, from brand new to highly experienced, across more than 350 seminars worldwide.
My background isn't traditional corporate management. It's years inside high-standard coaching environments where teams are always changing, feedback is constant, performance matters, and the human side of leadership shows up fast. I've spent my career reading people under pressure, giving feedback, and helping high performers grow. That's the lens I bring to leadership coaching: practical, human, direct, and built on the skills leaders actually need every day with their teams.
What I've learned from working with coaches and leaders all over the world is that the technical skills are rarely the problem. It's almost always the human stuff. How people communicate. How they handle conflict. How they hold others to a standard while still making them feel valued. That's the work I care most about, and it's at the center of every coaching relationship I build.
Outside of work, I'm an obsessed dog mom to two rescued pit bulls, a traveler, and a self-proclaimed foodie. My favorite way to explore a new place is on a bicycle, cruising through local neighborhoods and sampling the best food I can find. I love being in nature, a good sunset, a great book, and an even better glass of wine.
If you want support with the harder parts of leading a team, I’m here.
