HWH® Institute Faculty

The in-depth course material and ease of navigation made the learning experience both engaging and manageable. Equally, I appreciated the facilitator's (Sara Moles) attentiveness to the participants and commitment to creating a supportive learning environment. I enjoyed the process.

I like that my cohort was small. Allowed us to devote a good amount of time on topics and develop a good rapport between cohort and instructor. Overall enjoyed having Sara as instructor and working alongside Leslie and Sha-ree. It was a great class and feel prepared to take ACC.

It was so wonderful to go through this with a cohort! I really feel well-equipped with tools and resources for the next stage of preparation for ACC and then PCC. I loved the cohort, the practice time, the time for questions and answers, and the homework preparation for each class.

Lisa, you were such a great coach and trainer. I enjoyed all of the tools provided (Ovida, Dashboard, Miro), the fast pace of the classes and the role plays and material trained during online classes. It was perfect for me. Thank you so much for teaching me powerful new coaching skills to use with everyone in my life.

I enjoyed learning from other coaches at different points in their journey. I also appreciated the ecourse which helped to give me an understanding of what would be included and what was expected. I also LOVED learning from Lisa and can tell she has a deep understanding of ICF coach requirements. I appreciate that Lisa was willing to provide our cohort with an accelerated course and that she makes her courses so much more affordable than most certification programs.

I appreciated that it was a small group of participants, and that Lisa basically trained us for PCC level coaching skills. I appreciated that she would often check in with us, asking what we needed more of or she would change her plans to accommodate a request for learning something specific. I also appreciated all the resources for continued learning and developing, and the feedback after giving a practice session, using the form that clearly shows what we did or did not demonstrate according to the ICF guidelines. I learned a lot about how to rethink my questions to reformulate them into open-ended questions, the biggest and most important skill I learned. I appreciated the swiftness of Lisa's responses, that she welcomed the strengths and expertise I already have and invited me to integrate the HWHI methods into what I already do, and her support and enthusiasm during a very difficult few months for me.

The course's structure was very helpful in learning ICF coaching standards and processes. I loved the variety of the training and Lisa's encouragement and joy were very encouraging. I feel very empowered and excited to begin my journey of coaching. I am so glad I chose Happy Whole Human for my coach training program, it was the perfect fit for me. I look forward to and plan to complete more training with them again in the future.

I like how Dr. Leit builds community so participants feel safe to risk and grow.

Watching Lisa "in action" was amazing. I learned as much watching her as she coached us as I did from the content and practice.

Lisa's teaching style and her constant encouragement to all made this a wonderful learning environment. I felt a sense of community and feel very motivated to continue my coaching journey.

What I enjoyed most about this course were the insights I gained regarding not only the material, but also myself. Every lesson gave me the opportunity to reflect on what I learned, whether it be about the course content or myself as an individual. I was able to apply the concepts and theories learned in each class to my own life, which offered me new perspectives in general. The overall course and its curriculum were very well planned and executed. The instructor was always very warm, approachable, professional, and respectful. I felt excited and eager to participate in every lesson, due to the pleasant and thought-provoking learning environment created by the instructor and students.

We had such a lovely, small group and I have never felt more supported in a training or class environment. Dr. Leit is amazing and truly wants her students to succeed! I'm thrilled to have found this program and feel grateful that the Universe steered me there. I'm so in line with the Happy Whole Human philosophy and love working with and learning from Dr. Leit and the other HWH students. So many good vibes!

Comprehensive, experiential and excellent training.

What distinguishes Dr. Leit across all roles is her profound ability to create appropriate developmental spaces while maintaining clear boundaries and purpose. As a coach, she creates an environment of unconditional positive regard with perfect balance of support and challenge. As a mentor, she provides structured guidance while encouraging autonomous decision-making. As a supervisor, she demonstrates remarkable skill in fostering professional growth while ensuring adherence to ethical standards.

Dr. Leit's approach seamlessly integrates coaching excellence with supervisory wisdom and mentoring insight. Her commitment to developing ethical, competent practitioners is evident in her meticulous attention to professional standards while fostering individual growth. Through her comprehensive guidance, I developed enhanced capabilities in ethical decision-making, professional boundary maintenance, and advanced coaching interventions.

Since working with Dr. Leit starting in the Spring of 2012, I've had the privilege of receiving impactful coaching as a client, and mentorship in support of my ACHE Hypnotic Coach Certification, as well as participating as a student in the entire Happy Whole Human® program (300 hours).

Dr. Leit is a true artist in the way she guides her clients and students towards self-actualized solutions and attainable goal alignment. Her ability to navigate successful outcomes for her clients and blossom students into coaches is grounded in safety and supported by the proven coaching frameworks in the Happy Whole Human® program, developed over decades.

Dr. Leit has demonstrated consistent ability to lead clients and students ethically and compassionately. In my personal experience, I've made remarkable progress and overcome challenges that were previously not possible through other channels. Dr. Lisa Leit is remarkably talented, accountable, and upholds the highest standards as a coach and teacher.

I trained under her Happy Whole Human® program, earning my Level 1 and Level 2 coaching certifications, as well as my certification in hypnotic coaching. Under Lisa's mentorship, I was able to obtain my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential and successfully initiate an internal coaching program within my organization.

What I appreciate most about Lisa is her unwavering dedication to both her clients and students. She provides an exceptionally well-structured and supportive learning environment, ensuring the tools and resources she shares are organized and accessible. Her sessions are infused with positivity, encouragement, and a deep commitment to inclusivity, and she has a remarkable ability to make everyone feel heard, valued, and empowered.

Lisa's coaching and mentoring have significantly impacted my growth as a coach. Her expertise, compassion, and leadership make her an outstanding mentor and coach. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa and am grateful for the opportunity to learn from her.
