Bebe's Introduction - Presence Based Coaching
Study Presence Based Coaching With Bebe Hansen at presencebasedcoaching.com Bebe is a senior faculty member and co-teaches our ICF approved coach training with Doug and other faculty members. Bebe designed the PBC Mentor Coaching course, and delivers this virtual course with a team of PBC Mentor Coaches that she has trained. Bebe grew up in a family business (the largest flea market in the Southwest!) that exposed her to many areas of business management and ownership, as well as a wide range of diverse populations. Bebe operated the business for its last 7 years, until its sale to another family. She felt called to serve others in a more personal context, and earned a Masters of Science in Social Work, which led her to develop and operate a private psychotherapy practice for 5 years. When coaching came forward as a possible career change, it provided a powerful blend of her background of both business and helping. Bebe went on to meet Doug through the Presence-Based Coaching training, and has become an integral part of what we offer! Bebe has become a precise and compassionate leadership coach and an incredibly skillful trainer, and has worked with leaders in the private, non-profit and government sectors. Bebe also delivers leadership development programs around the Washington, DC metro area. Bebe is an avid learner. She particularly loves the PBC dual focus on personal development (through becoming a more effective coach … and human) and professional development (skill building around coaching methodology.) She loves that the PBC work is itself open and emergent. New threads of the curriculum arise through Doug’s research and interests, and are continuously being integrated into the training. New material is often sparked from interactions with students. As a whole, the curriculum continues to become more robust and integrated, and Bebe enjoys being a part of this evolution. On a personal note, Bebe has a deep ongoing commitment to yoga and meditation practices, and has been a practitioner of the Diamond Approach spiritual path since 2001. She enjoys road trips with her husband and spending time with her two grown daughters (and son in law). On weekends she enjoys reading for her book club and whipping up tasty meals with friends. She can occasionally be found sailing the Potomac.
