Isabel Einzig is an organizational leadership, life coach and tutor at Unique Pathways. Her desire has always been to guide others in finding their unique path toward discovering and developing their strengths and interests and creating an action plan to achieve their life and career goals.

With a BS in Education from Long Island University, an MS in Applied Behavioral Science, Organizational Behavior, and a Certificate in Leadership Coaching from Georgetown University, Isabel has built a solid educational foundation upon which to hone her skills.

She has also been the recipient of several awards including The Teacher of the Year Award for her creative programs and curriculum enhancements.

In accordance with her late husband’s legacy, Isabel founded a company in 2002, The Fiber Optic Marketplace, which remains a leader in training, product distribution and fiber optic solutions. As a start-up business in need of structure, Isabel established a Department of Human Resources to recruit and hire employees and interns, research and deliver employee benefit packages and assure compliance with labor laws. While also serving as president for several years, she coached staff pertaining to work/life integration and motivated teams to work more effectively.
