Bio

Meet Betsy Butterick, aka “The Coaches’ Coach”, a seasoned pro who utilizes the transformative power of communication to help build high-performing teams. As a former coach, Betsy understands that “chemistry” is more than a buzzword – it is the result of genuine connection, and at its core lies effective communication.
In her role as “The Coaches’ Coach,” Betsy meets individuals where they are and supports their growth and evolution. As a Communication Specialist, she works collaboratively to enhance communication effectiveness and drive positive change at every level. Betsy has the exceptional ability to connect with diverse audiences, and as a speaker, facilitator, and educator, she offers a professional, playful, and people-centric approach to learning and development.
A lifelong athlete, Betsy grew up playing all sports and was a competitive basketball player (and fairly awful golfer) at the collegiate level. She now spends her time with her family, hiking, biking, practicing yoga, chasing sunsets, and in constant pursuit of the perfect breakfast burrito.
