A Coaching Lab for Intentional Growth
Stop growing by default. Start growing by design.
A 90-minute virtual coaching lab where you'll read your real growth conditions, find your growth edge, and design one small experiment that fits the life you actually have.
Most growth happens by default — shaped by whatever the week throws at you. This 90-minute lab helps you grow on purpose instead. You'll identify your current growth zone, find your growth edge, and leave with one designed growth sprint: a small, low-stakes experiment you can actually run inside a demanding schedule.
Friday, August 28 | 9:30 am - 11 am CST
Before the lab: You'll take the free Growth Zone Assessment (about 3 minutes) so you arrive knowing your starting point. If you've already taken it, you're set.
Your deeper growth is the thing that keeps getting delayed.
You care about your own development — you wouldn't be here if you didn't. But your calendar fills before the week starts, and the energy you'd pour into growth is already claimed by the people you lead and the work that never quite ends.
So growth becomes the thing you'll get to someday, once things settle down. And in the meantime you keep changing anyway — just not on your own terms. You plateau, or you drift, or you absorb more and more until you're running on reserves you don't have.
Here's the disconnect — wanting to grow and having a method to grow inside a demanding life are two very different things.
You don't need more discipline or a tidy six-month plan that collides with reality by week three. You need to read your own conditions, then make growth small and deliberate enough to actually fit.
You need a way to grow on purpose — one that fits the life you already have.

Who is this for?
You're a leader running close to capacity — and "invest in my own growth" keeps sliding to next quarter.
You've plateaued, drifted, or hit overwhelm — and you want to name what's actually happening before you try to fix it.
You're tired of big plans that don't survive contact with your real week — and you want something small enough to actually stick.
You develop other people — and you want a shared language and method for growth you can use with your team, too.
What you'll need:
The free Growth Zone Assessment completed beforehand (about 3 minutes — link in your confirmation)
An openness to designing one small experiment, not a grand plan
The Sequence of Our 90 Minutes
Read Your Conditions
We start with your Growth Zone Assessment result. You'll get clear on which of the four zones you're in right now — and whether the imbalance is too little challenge or too little support.
Find Your Edge
You'll locate your growth edge: the place where challenge and support meet in the right proportion — stretched enough to grow, supported enough to sustain it.
Design Your Sprint
You'll design one small, low-stakes growth sprint — Clarify, Experiment, Reflect, Adjust — built to fit inside the schedule you already have, not one you wish you had.
Commit It
You leave with your sprint designed and committed — a concrete experiment you'll run, not another goal you'll mean to get to.

Bethany's thoughtful approach created a safe space to reflect deeply on my strengths and passions. She combines energy and enthusiasm for your growth with futuristic, strategic thinking — asking insightful questions that helped me see how my personality and talents connect in ways I hadn't considered.
What sets Bethany apart is her ability to take complex assessment data and turn it into something both practical and personal. I walked away with new inspiration and ideas about how to put my strengths into practice.

Meet Your Executive Coach
I'm Dr. Bethany Peters, a learning scientist and leadership coach, and the founder of The Leadership Coaching Lab 👋🏻
My years as an educator and a coach taught me one lesson above all: information does not create transformation — practice does. We've been taught to treat growth like a seminar, something to attend and absorb, when it works far more like a laboratory: a place to test, learn, and adjust.
That conviction is why I built the Growth Zone framework and the Growth by Design approach behind this lab. It's the method I use to help busy, growth-minded leaders move from growing by default to growing by design — in a way that fits the demanding life they actually lead.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A Coaching Lab is a fusion of learning, coaching, and growth where research meets real-world leadership. It is a reflective, collaborative space designed to slow down and experiment — building awareness, testing ideas, and making new strategies stick. We'll be doing a mix of learning, individual work, and group discussion.
-
Yes — and it's quick (about 3 minutes). It maps your current conditions so you arrive knowing your starting point, which means we can go straight to designing rather than spending the session getting oriented. The link is in your registration confirmation, and it's free.
-
Just the assessment. Come with your result and an open mind.
-
No. The free guide is a helpful companion, but everything you need for the lab comes from your assessment result and the work we do together live.
-
The guide and course teach the model. The lab is where you actually run it — designing a real growth sprint live, with a coach and a small group of peers, aimed at your specific edge. It's the difference between reading about a laboratory and working in one.
-
Because this is a small, collaborative environment built for real-time insight, I recommend attending live. The session will be recorded, and all participants will receive the replay.
-
For this specific program, there are no refunds, except for exceptional cases such as medical emergencies.
