Financial Trainer / Success Coach
Adib Jamshedi
Financial Trainer/Success Coach
​
"I speak your language: The language of the minority, the owner of poor credit, the one without the plan, the young, old or middle aged person. The language of the student, or teacher. The language of the fisher folk, the artist, the writer, and the musician. The language of the searcher, the hunter, the discoverer, the inventor or dreamer. The language of the novice or expert. I learnt this language from you, the entrepreneur. Let’s continue."
​
Adib has been instrumental in the Lummi Nation community getting to know the Native American people learning from them, but also teaching them via being either employed through the Lummi Venture's Plan (for 10+ years) and now with CDFI. He also currently teaches at Northwest Indian College (NWIC) as an instructor to many Native American peoples locally and from afar.
​
He calls himself the "real Indian" from Pakistan originally. He passion is his family and community. Adib is full of humility and grace, and most of all is enjoyable company to be around because of his light heartedness and humor. He makes all feel welcome.
