Lisa Spinelli-White
Lisa Spinelli, president and founder of Blue Pinecone Consulting, is a sought-after credentialed leadership and career coach, learning and development manager, and workshop facilitator. She is certified by the International Coaching Federation as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and thrives on helping develop others in their careers and wellbeing.
With more than 15 years of experience in journalism and content marketing before entering the world of coaching, Lisa profoundly understands how the stories we tell ourselves—and others—have a deep impact on our perspective and lives. Words and how we communicate can make or break any relationship, including the one we have with our career. She uses her storytelling ability and research-based approaches to develop impactful coaching moments for her clients.
Lisa was raised in Rome, Italy, which gave her a unique upbringing of being exposed to many cultures and helped her discover the beauty and one-ness of us all. She is a dual citizen with Italy, a military (now veteran) spouse, and has three little divas who keep her busy when she is not coaching or training others.
