Can’t recommend her enough.”

life-transforming, and introduced me to the person within, whom I had always ignored...

“Yolanda is a superb coach who is very empathetic, intelligent, and articulate. I approached her for career discussions but our coaching conversations went beyond just career.

This experience was life-transforming, to say the very least, and introduced me to the person within, who I had always ignored. This is the power of Yolanda’s coaching.

Being an ex/ recruiter, successful corporate professional herself, she has this immense ability to connect the dots and guide one to completely novel and powerful perspectives. If you are looking for a career/life coach, look no further. I would definitely recommend Yolanda!!”

She was exactly what I needed as a coach during my period of change, personal exploration and career development...

“Spent several months with Yolanda as my executive coach, and wow! She was exactly what I needed as a coach during my period of change, personal exploration and career development. Rather than “instructing” you what to do and giving you “model templates” to improve your Linkin profiles (like what other coaches promised), she was good at listening, better at asking you self-probing questions, and best at offering you advice and insights that makes you think and evaluate yourself. I have benefitted immensely from these sessions and would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs career mentoring to lift themselves up to the next level.

Through her coaching I feel I am better capable to take action, feeling more secure and relaxed...

“As we started the session, Yolanda mentioned that it sounded like I had ‘weaved’  uncertainties and questions in terms of my career development in one big mess- making that I was not enjoying spending any time on my job search at all, avoidant and stressed about finding the right job.

In one hour, Yolanda was able to help me come up with simple steps for myself to take action on, while most importantly making me realize that I was making it a heavy and very serious task.

Through her coaching I feel I am better capable to take action, feeling more secure and relaxed about the adventure of finding a new job. Would highly recommend a session with Yolanda.”
