Certifications, Trainings, and Experience

While I am a firm believer that credentials are neither necessary for effective coaching nor are they always a signifier of excellence and integrity, I am a fierce advocate for the consistent implementation of continuing education. My coaching work is informed by the totality of my training and experience - both past and present.

Listed below are some of the top influences in my coaching work. This is by no means a complete list.

Certifications’ denotes trainings, programs, or degrees that specifically produced a certificate.
Trainings’ denotes non-degree or certificate granting professional development courses or workshops I have taken.
Experience’ denotes notable professional and personal experience outside of coaching as well as areas which I have studied extensively (100+ hours).

If you have any questions about how a particular item influences my work, please feel free to reach out to me at lisa@lisahusseini.com.
