Guest Bio:
Penny van den Berg is a military veteran having served in various roles over her 25 years in uniform. Her final ten years of service left an indelible mark and were the impetus to continue her educational pursuit in coaching. She had the opportunity and privilege to be a Conflict Management Coach for both military members and Department of National Defence employees, and it was this experience that solidified her focus on coaching after military retirement. She experienced the profound positive impact coaching provided with feedback such as "transformative" and "the skills I’ve learned have even helped my marriage".
Penny is an experienced trainer and coach with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and has specialized training in mediation, conflict management, conflict dynamic, and life coaching. She founded Gottaminute in 2023 and provides coaching and education services. Penny has worked separately with individuals in Europe and North America providing coaching services and product development.
Her vision is for introverts to have a deeper connection with themselves and others through conversation. And with this deeper self-connection, they can experience an increase in confidence to make their presence, voice, and ideas heard and understood.

In her "Star of Your Own Story" program, Bethany casts women into roles featuring on & off camera confidence and empowerment, guiding them to reclaim their narratives and magnetize opportunities.

Her teachings blend action with strategy, empowering clients to move forward creatively and courageously.
Bethany's personal journey — rooted in a biracial upbringing and enriched by a multicultural family life — fuels her advocacy for diversity and inclusion. Her coaching focuses on empowering underrepresented groups and those in interracial/intercultural relationships, drawing from her extensive experience in both personal and professional realms. She enjoys family life with her husband of 20+ years and their teenage daughter, a sophomore at USC. In her free time, she indulges in continued learning, live music & theatre, travel, and pilates, which all contribute to her grounded approach to life and coaching.
