Dr. Elizabeth Lopez Completes IFCE Level 2 Life, Leadership, & Executive Coach Program

A Meaningful Milestone

Dr. Elizabeth Lopez, founder of NextLevel Mujeres, has completed the Level 2 Life, Leadership, & Executive Coach program through the Institute for Coaching Excellence (IFCE) as a member of its Spring 2026 cohort. The 135-hour program provided advanced coach education grounded in the ICF Core Competencies and Code of Ethics.

For Dr. Lopez, completing the program represents more than another professional development milestone. It is part of the intentional work behind building NextLevel Mujeres and the coaching practice at its center. Continuing to learn, examine her practice, and strengthen her coaching skills is part of the responsibility she believes comes with doing this work.

Continuing the Journey

Coaching is built around the client. For Dr. Lopez, that means continuing to develop the skills and awareness needed to create space for clients to think, reflect, explore possibilities, and identify what matters to them.

The IFCE program gave her an opportunity to continue that development alongside other coaches through practice, feedback, mentor coaching, and reflection. Those experiences became another opportunity to examine her own approach to the work and how she shows up as a coach.

That perspective is reflected in NextLevel Mujeres, where Dr. Lopez partners with Latina professionals and emerging leaders to gain clarity, build confidence, strengthen self-advocacy, and lead authentically. The work centers the experiences of Latina professionals while remaining open to anyone who connects with the approach and is looking for support in their career or leadership journey.

What Comes Next

The next step for Dr. Lopez is pursuing the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential. As she continues to build her coaching experience, she plans to work toward the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential.

For NextLevel Mujeres, this milestone is part of an ongoing commitment to building a coaching practice with intention, one that continues to learn, grow, and stay grounded in the purpose behind the work.
