Meet Lisa
Separation and divorce can be one of life’s most traumatic events. Even in the best of situations, few of us going through it are really prepared to make the legal, personal, and financial decisions that come with ending a relationship and starting a new chapter. In those cases where there has been heightened conflict between couples, having a qualified support system is even more critical to make good decisions and effectively protect your rights throughout the often challenging separation and divorce process.
My name is Lisa Schmidt and I'm a nationally certified divorce coach. A divorce coach is recognized by the American Bar Association and supports, motivates, and guides people going through divorce to help them make the best possible decisions for their future based on their particular interests, needs, and concerns. I utilize my experience and connections to empower and educate clients to rebuild their lives and protect their families, in support of your legal counsel.
Before becoming a certified divorce coach I had 16 years experience in marketing in the commercial construction industry where I grew to become Vice President of Business Development. I graduated from The University of Florida in 2002 and I am currently an advisor at The University of South Florida’s Muma College of Business Digital Marketing program. In addition, I am also a member of Rotary International and am an elected board member as the Foundation Chair for our local chapter. I made the decision to transition in my career to help others navigate the family court system, implement expert negotiation skills acquired during my 16 year career, and to start my coaching practice as a nationally certified divorce coach. I am also in the process of pursuing a master’s degree in Conflict Resolution and Analysis. Peace is our goal.
I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for an initial consultation to discuss how we can work together and how I can help you more effectively navigate the divorce process as your strategy partner. You are not in this alone!
Divorce coaching is a collaboration designed to help you specify, believe in, and attain your goals as you move through the storm of divorce.
Together we will come up with a plan with which you can examine the obstacles in your path and identify your hopes and dreams for the future.
If you are struggling where you are, but are ready to move forward towards being in control of your life again, then engaging in divorce coaching is right for you.
