About
Kai Stowers partners with you to strengthen your leadership practices and workplace culture to unlock greater employee engagement and performance. Kai is a long-time mindfulness practitioner and coach who has personally experienced the transformation that comes with intentional development, healing, and growth work.
Kai began his career as a chemist, deeply fascinated by science and the opportunity to save lives by developing novel therapeutics. Over time, he became increasingly interested in the human side of organizations, how individuals grow and develop, and how systems and structures limit or expand the possibilities within an organization and society.
As a Qualified Administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), Kai designs comprehensive leadership programs that build intercultural competence across various sectors, including education, government, technology, and for-profit and non-profit sectors. He can assemble a custom team to best address your needs and challenges, drawing from a network of skilled consultants with expertise in diverse areas of leadership development and organizational change.
Kai’s learning adventures include taking up ice skating and hockey as an adult. He knows that big, audacious challenges require patience and the ability to be comfortable with the uncomfortable, right alongside the ability to find joy, humor, and connection in the journey. He brings this spirit to all his client engagements.
Some of Kai’s social identities include being white, queer, and transgender. He has worked and lived as a female and now navigates life as a male, giving him a unique perspective on how gender and gender bias affect people, their teams, and where we see (or don’t see) potential.
He is an International Coaching Federation (ICF) Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with a master’s in Organizational Psychology and Change Leadership from Columbia University.
