Conversations with Bethany Anderson

Today we’d like to introduce you to Bethany Anderson.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My passion for coaching and having a forward mindset started in my teenage years. Due to a tragic event in my family, I was put in a caretaker role of my younger siblings while working to cover living costs. I studied for my GED and enrolled in community college while working full time. Determined to grow and provide for myself, I became a certified vision therapist. After being married for five years, one of my life dreams came true as I brought boy and girl twins into the world. I was fortunate to stay home with them for their first several years. By the time they went to kindergarten, I also was ready to go back to school. I chose The Institute for Professional and Excellence Coaching Program (iPEC) as it was ranked the top programs worldwide. My passion has always been to help others build their confidence and gain clarity in what they want for their dream life and how to pursue going after those dreams. The coaching language has always been a part of me. I love providing a safe space for clients to feel heard, supported, empowered, and cheered for as they fearlessly follow their life passions. This is my calling, and I am honored to live out my purpose and gifting as I coach young adults in transitional phases of their life. My process is always Simple, Clear, and Empowering.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Like any entrepreneur, the process is all about trying new things. This is, of course, vulnerable but necessary in knowing what works and doesn’t work. Any self-development space is an intimate space, therefore, my greatest space for referrals has been from individuals that know me and can speak to my character and quality of their experience.

I have tried online referral platforms but with little success. I have found that in giving back to my community through my time and financial support has been one of the best ways to establish relationships and reputation.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I believe that everyone has the opportunity to write their own story. We each have desires, wants, dreams; yet so few of us take the steps necessary to achieve them. I stand side by side my clients to help them achieve their goals, whatever those goals may be.

Areas I specialize in

– LIFE AND RELATIONAL BALANCE
– COMMUNICATION
– HEALTH & FITNESS
– SPIRITUAL WELLNESS
-OVERCOMING INSECURITY & FEAR
– PURPOSEFUL LIVING AND VALUES ASSESSMENT
– COACHING YOUR OWN ENERGY

I feel most proud of the continual theme in client testimonials. They come to me feeling overwhelmed and uncertain of what they want in life and what their strengths are. By the time they are done with their experience, they feel confident, clear, and passionate about their core values and new core beliefs that are necessary to fulfill living out their dream life.

I believe my coaching style is unique by my ability to intuitively listen to my clients and ask questions that help them understand themselves in a way they never have before. I have various ways of building up my client’s self-worth and self-esteem by pulling out their unique strengths and passions. My goal for every client is that they become a master of coaching their own energy so that they continue to live their life from a place of empowerment and personal conviction.

I know my clients are ready when they tell me, “Bethany, I am good! I know what I want and I know exactly how I will get there”. Confident and full of energy for life is how I wish to impact every single client that works with me!

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
I think of the end of my life often and ask myself, “If this were my last day, would I have any regrets?”. This is my way of holding myself accountable to my core values. I wish for the people surrounding me to feel seen and supported. For my close family members to feel loved and taken care of.
