Backed by a team of 20+ coaches at CROWN.LIN, we deliver an exceptional coaching experience across the U.S.—in person or virtually.
We walk the talk. Our coaches receive continuous training to stay at the forefront of the field, bringing leaders the latest insights.

Experience outcomes that are concrete and measurable, backed by rigorous research. With CROWN.LIN you get expert guidance and evidence-based methods that sustain transformative results.
We believe: Leadership is trained, not innate.
Real business growth never rests on the owner alone—it is carried by a team. We don’t preach; we teach the "how" so you can mobilize people, drive execution, and hold the line on results.
Our approach has two steps:
Step 1: Understand and leverage yourself—building confidence from how you think to how you lead.

We don’t do hype that fades overnight; we stay with you through implementation until results appear.
From leading managers to strategy to team building, every step comes with a clear roadmap. It’s not about doing more; it’s about doing the critical few—turning leadership into performance and results.
We won’t make you busier—we help you become a leader who delivers results.
Our highly systematized, professional coaching team specializes in growth-stage, transformation-focused guidance. Through personalized, results‑oriented development strategies, we redefine leadership potential, empower leaders across industries, and drive measurable organizational change.
Hands‑On Enterprise Sparring Partner
"Walk founders out of bottlenecks and build long‑term growth systems."
With 25+ years of executive coaching and management consulting experience, Fiona has served at top-tier consulting firms, focusing on Fortune 500 and large multinationals. As a senior advisor, she led strategic transformations and organizational system‑building initiatives—helping companies move from chaos to order, and from reliance on a few "star players" to scalable growth.
Since 2013, Fiona has localized her methodology and shifted to deep, hands‑on work with SMEs. More than a consultant, she is an entrepreneur’s sparring coach—centered on results and practical implementation—to craft systematic solutions, guide clients out of deadlocks step by step, and build repeatable, transferable, and owner‑independent long‑term growth models.
Her conviction: "A successful company shouldn’t rely on a tireless founder, but on systems that enable teams to run."
The CROWN·LIN team she leads has helped 200+ entrepreneurs establish their growth cadence, management systems, and team mechanisms. Clients see her as not only highly professional, but deeply trustworthy.
Strategy Execution and Organizational Change Expert
With 10+ years in brand strategy and customer experience across China and the U.S., Ethan helps companies at pivotal transformation moments to reinvent brands and elevate customer value. They have led multiple cross‑border initiatives, building brand systems, user journeys, and content conversion paths from 0 to 1—blending China‑market insight with global operating logic.
More than a strategist, Ethan is an execution co‑pilot. Starting from symptoms like brand confusion, churn, and low conversion, they rapidly build data‑driven growth systems, including:
• Customer insight and positioning redesign
• Brand narrative and communication models
• User journey optimization (offline/online)
• Community and owned‑channel system building
• Cross‑departmental experience collaboration mechanisms
Clients span new consumer, e‑commerce, education, and outbound SaaS. Ethan is especially strong at resolving the common bottleneck: “We want a brand upgrade, but the team can’t keep up, and we don’t know where to start.”
Brand Growth and Customer Experience Expert
Many founders ask me: “Our product is good—why don’t customers remember us? We spend on ads and traffic comes, but why don’t they convert?” That’s exactly what I solve.
What I do is simple but pivotal:
✅ Make your company’s value crystal clear—so customers get it at a glance and feel compelled in one line
✅ Differentiate your brand—attract customers without endless discounting
✅ Smooth the end‑to‑end experience—easy to find, delightful to buy, valuable to use, and referable afterward
✅ Train your team—so execution runs without you watching over everything
I’m not a slide‑deck consultant. I implement, co‑pilot, and deliver outcomes together with you.
Just tell me where you’re stuck and which customers you most want to win. I’ll build the framework, set the cadence, craft the plan, and drive execution.
I’ve worked with outbound brands, brick‑and‑mortar chains, e‑commerce, education, communities, and live‑commerce.
Corporate Culture and Execution Systems Expert
Leaders often tell me:
“I’ve preached our values a hundred times, but people still work in silos.”
“The rules look great on the wall, but fall apart in execution.”
This is exactly what I fix.
✅ Turn abstract “company culture” into behavior standards employees understand, want to follow, and benefit from
✅ Build an execution system that truly runs—no table‑pounding, no shouting; processes run themselves
✅ Teach how to select managers, lead teams, and develop leaders who develop others—so the team reflects you and the brand more and more
I’m not here to write slogans. I’m here to turn culture into what “everyone does every day.”
📌 My approach isn’t “brainwashing”—it embeds culture into processes and makes execution habitual.
📌 Employees move on their own, managers lead boldly, and founders stop fighting alone.
I’ve worked on the factory floor, with executive teams, in retail chains, and with startups landing their systems.
In short: I don’t do empty talk. I turn words into action, and culture into combat power.
Leadership Development and Cross‑Cultural Team Building Expert
Leaders say, “It’s not that I don’t want to lead—I don’t know how. If I hold too tight, people leave; if I loosen up, the team drifts.”
I’m a warm yet results‑driven coach who helps founders, managers, and middle leaders develop a leadership style of their own—able to charge ahead with the team and inspire people to follow.
I combine scientific methods with emotional guidance:
✅ Use the SMART model to turn vague goals into clear, trackable, achievable actions
✅ Teach how to lead people from different backgrounds—especially China‑U.S./cross‑cultural teams—with culturally aware communication and humane execution
✅ Build not only “fighting power” but also “cohesion”
I don’t teach you to look like a “strongman.” I help you become a leader others want to follow.
Many of my clients move from “carrying everything alone” to “charging ahead with a team,” and from “everyone fighting their own battle” to “a coordinated group moving toward shared goals.”
In short: I don’t teach you to be a boss. I coach you to become a leader who has heart, can lead people, and can win.
Many cross‑border e‑commerce founders say, “We have data, but it’s a mess—we don’t know how to use it or turn it into sales.” I turn scattered traffic, ads, customers, inventory, and platform data into a system that truly guides growth—so you can see clearly, tune quickly, and run fast.
Data‑Driven Growth Advisor
I build a new kind of growth engine for the AI era:
✅ Map the critical KPIs for cross‑border e‑commerce (ads, clicks, add‑to‑cart, repeat purchase, returns, LTV)
✅ Use AI tools and automation (AIAS) to build an end‑to‑end model—from data collection to strategy execution
✅ Replace gut‑feel decisions with data‑driven operations, advertising, and product selection
✅ Deliver a next‑gen growth model that saves headcount and effort—and makes more money
I work across Amazon, TikTok Shop, Shopify, and self‑hosted stores.
In short: I’m not merely a data analyst—I’m your growth partner who turns data into revenue.
Our clients aren’t people who “can’t get things done.” They’re highly capable, driven founders who have carried the load alone for too long.
Their companies have reached tens of millions—even over a hundred million—in revenue, yet they remain stuck in familiar traps:
• The team can’t keep pace and falls apart mid‑way;
• Strategy changes every year; direction is unclear and execution is chaotic;
• The founder closes deals personally while the sales team is unreliable;
• Talent comes and goes; managers can’t lead; everyone grows exhausted;
• Meetings are monologues by the founder; people don’t understand, don’t engage, and don’t act.
It’s not that they haven’t tried training or business school. They understood, but couldn’t execute; they saw the way, but couldn’t land it.
At CROWN·LIN, we don’t do training—we do sparring. We practice each movement with the founder until the team can step up, the organization self‑runs, and the founder can step out of day‑to‑day operations.
Some clients went from “carrying everything personally to stepping back” in just one year;
some went from a 4‑million loss to profitability, with employees referring new customers on their own;
some replicated their business into 20+ countries after adopting our methods.
Our clients aren’t special—they’re simply willing to change.
Willing to shift from “relying on individual strength” to “winning by system.”
Working with FIONA LIN was energizing. Clear‑minded and resolute, she surfaces the real issue at critical moments and consistently pushes me to improve team performance. I highly recommend her and deeply value her mastery of organizational systemization.
My collaboration with FIONA is highly efficient. She pinpoints root organizational issues and guides me step by step through implementation. She’s one of the few coaches who truly shares responsibility for outcomes. No detours, no posturing—every suggestion translates into action.
She made it clear: companies don’t survive by relying on “star players,” but by relying on systems. FIONA dismantled our star‑centric model and built truly replicable organizational strength. After working with her, I no longer need to close deals myself. She trained me and developed a cadre that can truly fight.
With FIONA, the more closely you follow, the faster you see results. She holds you accountable—and once you change the moves, performance follows. She turns chaotic meetings into cadence‑driven, outcome‑oriented sessions. Our team’s efficiency has doubled.
FIONA’s advice isn’t “you could try”; it’s “do this now.” Her push is rigorous yet patient. She understands founder habits and team psychology and, most importantly, connects the dots to drive execution. I’ve never met a coach this forthright.
FIONA appeared at my company’s most difficult moment. She clarified direction, tuned managers, and set the cadence, guiding us step by step out of chaos. After working with her, I finally saw the organization self‑operate and moved from “doing the work” to “commanding the field.”
She teaches you how to win—not hype or success‑talk, but structure, steps, and trade‑offs. She never shies from pointing out my issues and never leaves me behind. Her co‑piloting helped me truly grow into a leader.
She stood with me through a fight for the company’s life—drilling into actions, cadence, people, and structure. My organization looks completely different now. Her greatest value isn’t lecturing; it’s sparring. Every intervention targets what keeps the business alive.
She’s the head coach of a corporate bootcamp—tough when needed, instructive when needed, never one‑size‑fits‑all. The biggest difference is I now push toward clear daily targets instead of just “understanding but not doing.”
She moved me from making decisions by experience to steering by mechanisms. Her insight is formidable—issues I missed, she cut through in three sentences and immediately offered plays.
She understands not only business but the founder’s mindset. Many struggles were resolved and transformed through her sparring. She freed me from low‑level repetition—turning “I do it” into “I lead others to do it.”
She uses grounded language to explain high‑level concepts. This is coaching that truly lands. I thought the problem was my employees—she showed me it was my leadership. The organization responded immediately after changes.
She’s the only person I trust to directly drive senior executives—and she can be tougher than I am. She unblocked my leadership team step by step; now they can truly perform.
FIONA kept pressing on goals, standards, and timelines—pushing me to the point of “I must change.” She’s the only coach who dares to hold me to account, can land the work, and stays to the end.
After three months of training, our cadence, structure, and output were completely different. FIONA doesn’t preach theory—she teaches moves. Every engagement feels like “corporate surgery.”
Only after working with her did I understand what it means for an organization to “run itself.” She doesn’t hand out success secrets—she corrects on the spot and changes the moves immediately.
She doesn’t fear offending you—she fears you won’t win. She truly takes responsibility for results. In three months she moved us from “relying on individuals” to “relying on systems.” Priceless.
She isn’t a “lecturer”; she’s your tactical coach, cadence commander, and sparring partner. She speaks truths and delivers substance. Every move has impact.
Her sparring program pulled me out of chaos and moved me toward results every day. She built a true “successor” middle layer so I no longer rely on myself daily. She cares that the moves are correct—and that my mindset is steady.
She takes you from pain to breakthrough—practical, deep, precise. She rebuilds systems; she’s not here to “fix a window,” but to reconstruct the framework.
Her cadence gets the whole company moving. I’ve hired consultants, coaches, and speakers, but only FIONA truly unlocked the stalemate.
She helped me build managers, adjust structure, and organize meetings—every step produced results. She can pull rhythm and order out of a tangle.
I’ve never seen a coach so efficient and so humane. She’s the one to call when you’ve hit the ceiling.
FIONA is a “training‑type coach,” not a “stage expert.” She makes complex organizational issues understandable to anyone.
After working with her, I truly stepped out of the business for the first time. She changes structures, not moods. No empty inspiration—she teaches how to survive tomorrow and thrive.
