Meet Shane
Shane Hansen is a disciple of Jesus Christ, a husband, a father, and an entrepreneur. He is an International Coach Federation (ICF) trained life coach and graduate of the Certified Professional Life Coach (CPLC) program through the Christian Coach Institute. He also holds a Bachelor’s Degree (BA) and Master’s Degree in Business Administration (MBA).
Shane has a heart for helping brothers & sisters in Christ in their earthly walk of life as they continue to grow and develop into the family, church, business, and community leaders that God is calling them to become. He does not teach about the Bible or religion as a trained Pastor or theologian would, but rather relates Christian principles to the everyday walk of earthly life. Applying a Christian perspective to real life, while using proven business techniques combined with the discipline of coaching to help people focus on priorities amidst the busyness of personal & professional life, so that they reach a place where they can prosper and thrive for the glory of God.
It was while spending the first 10+ years of his career in the athletics administration/business field that Shane started feeling God calling him to serve in a different capacity. Through much prayer, reflection, and research Shane discerned that God had blessed him with the spiritual gifts, professional/life experiences, and personality that He did in order to prepare him to help others on their life journey while serving as a Christian Life Coach.
But hearing God tell you to change careers (and then actually following through on that call) can be difficult, and Shane kept thinking that he would follow someday. God had different plans. While Shane had been a believer in God his entire life, he didn't fully surrender and "let go & let God" completely take over all aspects of his life until his only sibling, his much beloved older sister Kayte, was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. Her diagnosis, and ultimate call home to heaven a year later at the age of 35, served as the final catalyst that God used to help Shane wake up to the reality that tomorrow is not guaranteed to any of us. If there is something that needs to be done this side of heaven, the time to do it is RIGHT NOW. The experience of feeling God speaking so directly to him served as an incredibly life changing source of motivation and inspiration for Shane. That profound experience led Shane to fully dedicate the rest of his life to following and serving the Lord in every aspect.
Since launching Shane Hansen, Christian Life Coach, LLC in the fall of 2015 Shane has successfully helped hundreds of people prosper and thrive for the glory of God in their lives, written two books, presented at a wide range of speaking engagements throughout the Midwest, and has had his work featured in both online and print publications. Shane has also been recognized through honors such as being named the January 2018 "Coach of the Month" by the Christian Coach Institute, as well as having his blog appear on Feedspot's listing of the Top 20 Christian Life Coach Blogs And Websites To Follow. All Praise, Honor and Glory to God!
Shane is married to the love of his life, his best friend Sarah, and they are blessed with five children. In addition to homeschooling their children, they love to travel, spend time at the family cabin, and putz around on their hobby farm.
Shane's life verse is: "choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:15)
