ABOUT KRISTIN
Kristin Carlson is a Master Executive Coach, CEPA®, and Value Acceleration Advisor who helps business owners move from owner-dependent to enterprise-ready. As the founder of Focal Point Coaching, she works with entrepreneurs who feel “trapped” in their businesses—guiding them to build stronger leadership, scalable systems, and higher-value companies that are ready for transition on their terms.
Kristin integrates the Value Acceleration Methodology™, DiSC, Strategic Planning, and leadership development frameworks to help owners grow intangible capital, elevate performance, and create freedom. She is also the host of the Beyond Average podcast, highlighting entrepreneurs who transform their businesses through operational excellence and value creation.
With a track record of helping leaders double revenue, build successor teams, and prepare for ESOPs or future exits, Kristin is passionate about empowering owners—especially women—to design businesses that support the lives they want, not the other way around.
