MEET LISA...

Lisa Woods

I’m a practical spiritualist who comes from a driven, high-achieving world. I know, it’s great to be a part of high energy and excitement, but it can also be exhausting and lonely at times.

I spent decades working with high-achievers who needed an active and trusted listener, someone to ask guiding questions to help them create solutions for themselves. This allowed the achievement to continue, but in a more focused way that was free of worry. I call it standing in your power — a way of being that folds your super skills and strengths into the core fabric of what makes you “you.” 

I’ve worked as an advisor and confidante for leaders in the arenas of politics, state and federal policy, higher education, non-profits, grassroots campaigns, multi-national research collaborations, public relations, marketing, fundraising, and board service. 

I am certified in three areas, including Life, Spiritual, and Health+Wellness coaching through Life Purpose Institute, an International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited program. I am currently working towards my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential through the ICF — something I’m really excited to complete!

My Clifton Strengths are Strategic, Futuristic, Maximizer, Connectedness, Individualization, Activator, and Relator.

Seeing the forest for the trees, with sprinkles of spirit

After spending 2020 inside myself and listening to my heart, watching the world tear apart and slowly piece itself back together, I decided to change my focus. No longer the strategic consultant with all the answers, my new role would be defined as a partner, teaming up with those who desire to deeply shift their focus, too, from a place of uncertainty to one of hope. I didn’t want to be a coach telling people what to do, I wanted to facilitate growth by inspiring resilience in a new generation of leaders — not just in age, but by approach. 

I want to work with people who seek to benefit humanity or work to shift their own perceptions of self — with kindness at the core. This focus lays a compassionate foundation that will more gently shed light on deeper truths and greater strength during this time of significant changewithin ourselves and the outside world. These are the people I seek to serve.

What small steps or large leaps do you want to take to create more good for yourself and our world?

If you identify with the above or are curious about what it means, email me to schedule time to talk at no charge to you. I would love to hear your ideas, dreams, passions and fears, and I look forward to partnering with you to help you in your journey to align your head and heart to achieve your goals to do more good. Our world needs more of it — our world needs more of you.

 

I really enjoyed this opportunity to share more about spiritual life coaching and my path to this life purpose. Much gratitude to Behind Her Brand for elevating a diversity of women’s voices! 

Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.
