In My Own Words
I didn’t plan to get divorced. None of us does. But when it happened after 21 years of marriage, it rocked my world. Life would never be the same again. But slowly I learned how to move forward. I made mistakes, did better, made more mistakes, and succeeded in new things. I became a better version of myself. That’s the version of me that I bring to my work as a divorce coach every day.
My background as a lawyer and mom who has survived divorce gives me a perspective the other members of your divorce team simply don’t have.
My experience as a spiritual counselor gives me powerful tools that can help you climb out of the darkness and heal your soul.
My education background helps me understand where your children are developmentally, and how you can best support them.
And my 20 plus years of non-profit leadership enables me to mentor you so you can find the answers you need now. You are the leader of your own life! I’m here to tell you, you matter.
I’m Lisa Lisser, founder of LZL Coaching. Like many of you, my life story has many chapters. Here are just a few.
I practiced litigation in NYC before retiring to raise my three, now grown children.
While at home with my kids, I became passionately involved in non-profit communal work. I was a public speaker, an advocate, a program designer for both local and international programs, and an active participant on multiple non-profit boards.
A lifelong learner, I went back to school, earned my masters in Jewish education and became a certified spiritual counselor in the addiction and recovery space. I worked as a religious school educator and curriculum designer as well as an adult learning specialist and antisemitism awareness advocate.
When I learned about the world of divorce coaching, I realized that this was a field that blended my passion, my talents and my life experiences in a way that nothing had before, so I dropped everything and became certified as a CDC certified divorce coach.
With empathy and compassion, I will help reduce your overwhelm, provide you with a sounding board, and give you the confidence you need to move through your divorce with the clarity and courage you need to launch into the next stage of your life.
What sets me apart!
One of the most critical aspects of my coaching practice is that I create a safe space for my clients to ask questions. Even more important than the questions I answer, are the questions I ask, which open up new possibilities that my clients may never have imagined.
Unlike other people in my clients’ lives, my only stake in the process is to build their ability to find clarity, confidence and courage. My clients develop the power to articulate their wants and needs so they get what they want from their lawyers, financial advisors, soon to be ex-spouse and everyone else who is involved in their divorce process.
