Welcome.
I’m Bethanie.
I’m Dr. Bethanie Hansen, also known as Dr. B, educator and coach. I help teachers stop Sunday night dread and reclaim their power and purpose.
As a leader and teacher, you care about the people you lead and the direction you’re headed. You want to feel confident in your role and treat people with love and integrity, even when other people are challenging to be with. I’ve been an educator and coach for 28 years, and I’ve experienced that too. Somewhere in there, a sense of “Sunday night dread” creeps in, and while we wish there might be a day off coming up, at the same time we feel guilty for thinking about it.
What helped me most have been the tools, strategies, and thought patterns I now share with clients through education and professional coaching. These helped me to “wake up” and reduce my own stress levels, improve my wellbeing, and move through tough challenges with greater purpose.
I’ve helped hundreds of teachers and leaders handle challenging relationships, set priorities and be more productive, gain control over work-life balance, and stop doubting their own abilities. We’ve also tackled impostor syndrome–that insidious feeling that you don’t really know what you’re doing even though you have a role, the experience, and plenty of qualifications to back it up. As an experienced teacher and leader, I would bet that you want to love, serve, and teach others without feeling overwhelmed and exhausted or putting yourself last. And I believe that is possible for you, even if you can’t see it right now.
You can reclaim your “power” to set goals, define boundaries, and love who you are, and your “purpose” to make a difference everyday. And I’ll show you how, with practical tools to lead with confidence and wellbeing. It is not selfish to invest this time into your own growth, in fact, it’s essential. Let’s get started.

My Coaching Method (Click to view)
Even if we haven’t met yet, I believe you have what it takes to succeed through challenging times. You have made it to this point with gifts, abilities, and strengths that can be leveraged for the authentic impact you’d like to have. My holistic approach identifies your strengths and gives you greater power to leverage them in those areas where you are most concerned right now using evidence-based practices and tools from the areas of leadership, resilience, adult psychological development, positive psychology, neuroscience, and reflective practice. And to make it last, we also identify mental saboteurs using positive intelligence, to help you stop roadblocks that keep getting in your way.
How it Works (Click to view)
We work together through personalized 1:1 sessions conducted virtually via ZOOM, tailored to your needs, objectives, and challenges, over a period of 2-6 months based on your goals (I follow the ICF Code of Ethics).
To accelerate your personal and professional growth over time, I also provide a group program that allows you to learn from and with others who are seeking to achieve similar goals. Here, we target one area of stress or growth at a time, to help you make incremental changes that significantly impact your life and work. 1:1 coaching is not required to join the group program.
