Becoming a
Leader of Vision
If you’re running a practice but feel like it’s running you, I can help.
I work with optometry and healthcare practice owners and managers to become more confident, emotionally intelligent, and effective leaders, so their teams thrive and their businesses grow.
As an optometrist and multiple practice owner myself, I’ve worked extensively in the eye care space, but the leadership principles I teach – emotional intelligence, system-building, and people-centered growth – apply to any practice that wants to thrive.
Course 1
Meet Dr. Bethany Fishbein, OD
I’m an optometrist turned practice management consultant and leadership coach, with over two decades of experience owning and running successful practices.
I help practice owners and managers develop the skills they need to lead confidently– from financial understanding and business strategy to communication, systems, and team culture.
I’ve seen firsthand in the hundreds of practices I’ve coached how transformative it is when a doctor steps into leadership with clarity and intention. It’s the difference between surviving the day and truly building something you’re proud of.
