Mylena’s Credentials, Certified Life Coach for Women
My Credentials
I am a certified life coach for women who has spent over two decades studying what makes people — and the organizations they build and inhabit — either work or fall apart. The short answer is almost always the same: misalignment. Between what people say they want and how they actually spend their time. Between who they are and how they show up. Between the life they’re living and the one they actually want.
That through-line runs through everything I do.
As a certified life coach for women through Pink Boxes Club, I bring something most coaches can’t: a professional background that is equal parts human behavior, organizational psychology, and conflict resolution (learn about my other business, Voltage Vista Consulting). I hold a Master of Public Administration and the SPHR and SHRM-SCP — the two most rigorous senior-level credentials in the human resources profession. I am also a Rule 1:40 Certified Mediator in New Jersey, which means I am trained and authorized to help people navigate some of the hardest conversations of their lives. I hold additional certifications in the MBTI, FIRO-B, and the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument — tools that help people understand how they’re wired, how they relate to others, and how they handle conflict.
I know people. I know how they avoid. I know how they self-sabotage. I know how they show up in relationships, at work, and in their own heads. And I know how to help them move.
None of that makes me a therapist — and I want to be clear about that distinction. If you haven’t read my piece on the difference between coaching and therapy, it’s worth a few minutes of your time. What it means is that when you work with me as a certified life coach for women, you’re working with someone who respects that boundary completely — and who will tell you honestly if what you need is something I’m not positioned to provide.
What I am positioned to provide is this: a thinking partner who has done her own work, knows the research, holds credentials that are real and verifiable, and will never let you get comfortable with excuses.
I’m approachable. I’m direct. And I take this work seriously — because you deserve someone who does.
