SArah Halley, pcc

Senior Faculty

What I love most about being part of the PBC faculty is how much I learn through the work. There is a freshness and aliveness in both the content and the process. Being part of the teaching team allows me to be of service in a way that is deeply fulfilling. Together with our students we consistently create a supportive and creative space for people to develop themselves as coaches and human beings.

Sharon Barbour, PCC

I’m grateful to be part of the PBC team and feel rooted in our joint commitment to living and leading with greater aliveness and awareness. We continue to learn and evolve together and the learning still delights me, even after 20 years in the field of coaching. I find joy in meeting and mentoring PBC students and appreciate their deep interest and commitment to the journey of becoming a PBC coach. I’m grateful to be alongside them for part of that becoming!

Richard Hansen, PCC

How can you take your coaching (…and life!) from beyond predictable to Extraordinary? As a PBC mentor coach, I enjoy engaging our community of coaches to deepen our awareness and integration of cognitive, emotional, and somatic competencies. This rich and integrated combination of mind, heart, and gut approaches improves both personal and professional outcomes and develops the leadership capacity of ourselves and of our teams.

Diane Hayes, ACC

I support coaches on how to improve their skills through the PBC model. I also coach high achieving college students and young professionals. I relish this work because my own self-awareness grows through this work. As I embody and then model the competencies in my coaching and group work, I witness significant growth in my clients. It invigorates me to have work that allows me to invest in others while also investing in myself and being a part of something so expansive!

Andrew Jacobs, PCC

I consider it a great privilege to serve as a faculty of Presence-Based Coaching. This work has touched my life since the day I picked up The Mindful Coach and continues to do so each day I get to teach in front of the students. Perhaps what I love most is the gentle and supportive nature of its methods, creating a positive foundation for change, acceptance and a deepening of the human experience. Had it not been for a coincidental run in with Doug at a coffee shop in Asheville years ago, I’m not sure I would have found this developmental path. I am forever grateful that I did.

AMY KOHUT, PCC

I love the synergy that is created when we come together for this work. To experience deep inquiry, deep learning and deep understanding of self as coach in service of others is a powerful paradigm to spend time and energy in. This ever-expanding community of coaches and coaches-to-be is a wonderful learning lab of mind and body to bring the learning home. I’m proud to be a part of this team, and I continue to learn and grow on the journey.

Jeanne Lebens, PCC

I love the way Presence-Based Coaching so beautifully integrates many concepts and streams of learning that are only partially addressed in other coach training programs I’ve experienced.
It is a privilege to be part of the PBC team that trains others in this unique and robust methodology. I also enjoy continuing to support people in their ongoing development through the PBC Mentor Coaching program. My own development as a coach and a human is enriched by these experiences, and I am grateful to be a member of this incredible community of fellow teachers and lifelong learners.

Natalia Rabin, PCC

The Presence-Based Coaching work is truly special and has been transformational in my own life. It is a joy to be part of the PBC faculty team to extend this work out into the world and to witness others experience the immense impact of PBC on their development. I am grateful for this ever-growing community of coaches who are passionate about creating positive change and building capacity in themselves and others.

Nicole brooks

Director of Marketing & Growth

Presence-Based Coaching has given me an experience of leadership that feels both grounding and expansive. The program met me in a season of life where responsibility was high—at work and at home—and helped me reconnect with clarity, agency, and presence in a way that continues to feel practical, not aspirational. Through PBC, I’ve found a community of thoughtful, self-aware people doing deeply intentional work in the world through how they listen, relate, and serve others. What I continue to love most is that this work honors the whole human, inviting growth that is steady, relational, and rooted in integrity.

Jenny Sheehan

Director of Operations & Student Experience

I work behind the scenes to make sure that everything with our Presence-Based Coaching and other courses run smoothly. I love interacting with all the students and I get to be on the front lines of following their progress from becoming interested in the program to becoming certified! I am grateful to be part of such an amazing community of people.
