Yann is the perfect coach that I hoped was out there. She seamlessly blends past and current professional experiences with personal and family experiences to get to the root of matters. Her coaching helps to gain clarity, insight and understanding while identifying passion, purpose and vision, to develop strategies and implement tactics to realize full potential. Yann's approach and wisdom are universally applicable and helpful, transcending industries and professions. I would recommend Yann's coaching to anyone looking to break free from old patterns that may be holding them back or to develop new skills to be the best version of themselves.     

Linda M, New Jersey, former Chief Medical Officer transitioned to Consultant, Chief Member

Working with Yann has been the best investment in my professional growth that I could have ever made. Yann’s incredible guidance helped me uncover and understand my limiting beliefs, and she expertly navigated me through the journey of overcoming them for lasting, positive change.

Before partnering with Yann, I struggled to understand why I would revert to certain behaviors or why specific events at work had such a profound and often negative impact on me. I didn’t realize how these patterns were affecting my confidence and my ability to handle conflict effectively.

Yann is not just an executive coach; she is a transformative mentor. I only wish I had found her 10 years ago. Her insights and support have been life-changing, and I am truly grateful for the progress I’ve made under her coaching.

Gabriela G., Seattle, WA, Data and Analytics Executive, Chief Member

When you feel stuck at a crossroads in your life, be it professionally or personally, Yann provides just the right words and guidance at the right time. I gained much needed clarity and a renewed perspective after our sessions, and genuinely looked forward to them. Yann is a solution-focused problem solver, and an exceptional listener. She has a natural talent for honing in and getting to the crux of the matter; working through and offering a fresh approach to overcome previous ways of doing things. Yann’s clients benefit from her own self-development, wisdom, and wealth of knowledge and experience from her professional background. If you want to progress and evolve in certain areas of life, Yann will help show you the way. I highly recommend Yann as a coach!

Katie M., Amsterdam, NL, Business Development Director

Being on the corporate hamster wheel, one often loses sight of why they do what they do. Yann has helped me understand my mental and emotional state, track my progress, and clarify my next steps. I've learned to give myself more grace and permission to enjoy the life I've built. I now see more possibilities and am excited to explore the unknown. Yann taught me to reframe discomfort as growth, helping me become the person I want to be. I've learned I can change my limiting beliefs and habits through awareness, slowing down, and listening to my emotions and inner voice. I no longer ignore my inner voice but use it to guide me towards growth and well-being. I highly recommend Yann to others experiencing the mixed emotions of unplanned career transitions. Her business acumen, experience, and deep emotional intelligence made me feel heard, seen and understood.

Terry F., Washington. D.C., Chief Financial Officer

Selecting a coach is a very personal decision that takes time. I interviewed several coaches but immediately knew Yann was the right one for me. Yann’s qualifications, experience, curiosity, and ability to help me see things clearly stood out immediately. Yann is easy to talk to, responsive, and knowledgeable. She helps you look within, trust your gut, to get the answers you need. I highly recommend her as a business coach.

Sasha A., Miami, FL, Chief Information Officer, Chief Member

I started working with Yann when I took on a new role about 8 months ago. This was going to be my first time in a (formal) leadership position and reporting to the executive team. While I knew I had the skillset to do what I signed up for, I was uncertain about how I would be received and my ability to effectively deliver my message and lead from my set of values. Yann has helped me tremendously to see where I am leading all the time, to own and recognize my influence, and discern where and when to fight for the things I believe in. When I started this new role, I was somewhat regretting my decision and I can confidently say now, almost a year later, I am more confident and engaged in my career than I ever have been. I am having fun, learning and growing every day. I know my leadership makes an impact on my organization and the people in it.

Helena S., Chattanooga, TN, Chief of Staff to CEO

I embarked on a transformative coaching journey alongside Yann, initially drawn by the generosity of her complimentary getting-to-know-you session. During our 1.5 hours together, Yann pinpointed how my upbringing and ingrained beliefs manifest in my work and how I show up as a leader. I had never before realized the direct link between my thoughts, beliefs, and my approach to work. Yann's guidance has illuminated the path to understanding how certain "mistaken" beliefs from my past have been shaping my present.

From supporting me in transforming my personal space to increasing my income for the value I bring to organizations, I feel empowered to make the impact I always knew I was capable of creating.

Sheana H., Houston, TX, Fractional Chief Marketing Officer, Chief Member

I decided to seek out a coach after repeatedly feeling overwhelmed and burnt out, this was impacting my mental health and confidence. Yann helped me immensely, she enabled me to reflect on my past experiences, how these were transmitting into my actions and holding me back in both my professional and personal life. Yann provided me with the tools to focus on the themes I should embrace and areas I should release. Empowering me to be a strong leader and take control of my own emotions and career. I would highly recommend Yann and her coaching style.

Kimberly B., London, UK, Big 4 Senior Manager

Yann's approach in asking thought-provoking questions helped me to formulate, create, and achieve goals that mirror a philosophy closely aligned with real-time wants and needs. It is truly magnificent working with someone whose many strengths include maintaining momentum, being focused driven while all along keeping pace, and challenging thought processes.

Heena P., London, UK, Health Business Founder and CEO

Yann helped me be more aware of my tendencies and natural thinking patterns. This increased awareness enabled me to stop falling into the same patterns/behaviors that were causing me frustration. I feel more aware and in control of my responses. Other coaches I have worked with haven't gone as deep or were able to understand and emphasize with the similar background / the impact of those experiences on today. I had action items after every single coaching session, which was really helpful in driving action and concrete improvements for me.

Amy C., New York, NY, Startup Executive Leader

Over the two years I have worked with Yann, I've grown significantly. This is noted by family and friends around me. Yann challenged my limiting beliefs, gave me assignments that are just uncomfortable enough I would still be willing to work on them to grow personally but not too overwhelming and too much to bear. She helped me to look at work in a more sustainable way. She helped me realize that being so harsh on myself is indeed not doing myself a favor. I have come so far in life not *because of* the harsh criticisms but without them, I can be even more.

I've learned to love myself more. I've learned to allow my emotions to speak to me, be brutally honest about how I feel, and use these emotions productively. I no longer shut my feelings deep down and live as a walking dead. I have more energy by allowing my life forces to spring out. This change has benefited me not only in the workplace, but at home, and in my communities. I have more empathy towards myself and those around me. I see myself and others as beings that are changing and growing constantly. I am less afraid of making mistakes. There is still much to do, and much to learn. Yann is critical in cultivating this growth in me. I am so thankful to myself for taking the initial step to work with Yann. If you're thinking about working with Yann, I encourage you not to hesitate.

Mary. L., Chicago, IL, VP of Leading Global Economic Consulting Firm

Yann has helped me see what’s possible and lots of things are changing for me at work. I am proud of the year I’ve had. She is helping me take a deeper look at what really matters to me and what's going to make this ride of life as meaningful as possible.

Ben D., Chicago, IL., Director

I started a new role in a tricky environment and was really doubting myself whether I could be a good fit for the job. My biggest issues were doubting my capacity to have an impact and holding back on my own thoughts at work, not feeling true to myself. I was really happy to have the opportunity to talk through these issues with an impartial person who would have an objective and fresh view on the situation and provide me guidance. Through our conversations, Yann has been great at challenging my own self-limiting beliefs, and identifying clear actions on a weekly basis for me to build progress at work and grow my self-confidence. I am now much more aware of my ‘inner voice’ and how to lead meetings and work conversations more effectively. I would definitely recommend Yann’s services to anyone who feels they are not reaching their full potential at work and would like to challenge their limits.

Laurianne S., London, UK, Finance Transformation Leader

Yann's approach to coaching is very unique. She focuses on not just how we present ourselves but why we present the way we do. We as corporate leaders have picked up many attributes that make us successful, some of those are natural and some are acquired, some of those we align with and others we wished we had not acquired. Yann takes you on a self-reflection journey. It is this journey that can reveal our true aspirations and bring to front our self learnt/acquired saboteurs that are limiting us in reaching our full potential. My time with her was a game changer for me. I would highly recommend Yann as a coach.

Neerja B., Boston, MA, VP of Product Management, Chief Member

As an entrepreneur with a decade of experience in a creative field, I have consistently struggled with the highs and lows of cash flow and profitability. Historically, I have made many costly mistakes and find myself hopping from one task to another without really taking the time to see things through to completion and to follow through. I made a great decision to hire Yann to be my partner in creating financial freedom in both my life and my business. With her years of experience as a corporate finance executive, and her deep knowledge in life coaching and understanding of human dynamic, in just a short time, she has helped me identify the specific projects of most importance in my business and life. She has carefully wrapped her arms around me, and my stated objectives with care and firmness. She has held me accountable and has shown me, financially, processes that are secure and predictable. After not quite a year into our journey, my financial forecast looks very different and impressive indeed!

Yann has coached me to utilize data and transparency to make sound financial decisions along with structures of discipline that are game changers across the board. I aspire to be an independent woman of wealth and financial freedom. It has not been easy and I’ve had to confront many limiting beliefs to grow as a person in order to achieve my goals. As Yann said in the beginning — ‘We will do hard things together’ — Thank you Yann for being with me on this journey! XO

Candy S., Chicago, IL, CEO and Creative Director

My Empowering Coaching Consultation, provided by Yann, allowed me to understand my limiting beliefs and leadership challenges with deep awareness, making sense of my past and how it impacts my present day thinking. Yann's attention to detail and ability to assess challenging points is impressive. I found this assessment invaluable and a foundational part of my leadership journey as I show up ever more confident in my abilities and life experiences. I strongly recommend this to any leader looking to reach their potential and goals.

Jennifer U., Hermosa Beach, CA, Chief Executive Officer, Investor, Chief Member

Yann helped me gain self-confidence and prioritize my constantly growing to-do list. The connection of my thoughts and ways I think about myself back to my childhood was golden! I was able to go back to the root cause of many insecurities to overcome them. I learned to affirm myself and unapologetically ask for what I need at work. I learned to master concepts that really changed the way I manage work/life balance.

Yvonne C, San Diego, CA, FinTech Senior Vice President of Strategy and Development, Chief Member

Yann dropped into a very difficult employee-manager situation. She did a quick assessment, recommended a resolution/plan, and delivered to turn the situation around to the satisfaction of everyone involved. Yann is an amazing coach, gets to the point quickly, and provides stakeholders with a clear & practical path to wellness. I greatly appreciate her knowledge, skills, and capabilities.

Rod H., Fort Lauderdale, FL., VP, Digital Transformation Services

First of all, I would recommend Yann's 3 Vital Steps to Show Up Confidently webinar to every woman. I appreciated her session so much that I attended it twice and signed up for her Empowering Coaching Session. While I am a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach myself, I deeply appreciated her genuine approach taking me on a self reflection journey to explore myself, career, and life purpose, identify some of the underlying limiting beliefs, and determine focus areas to reach my full potential. I aspire to "reclaim the ambitious, determined, and joyful little girl within me who wants to be seen and heard!" Yann being Asian American made me feel extra comfortable during my sharing due to commonalities, and I felt seen and heard by her with deep empathy. I would highly recommend Yann as a coach!

Jung L., Washington, DC, VP, Global Talent Development Programs , Chief Member

As a medical professional and small business owner, I have numerous responsibilities that I was not trained for in medical school. When I first started working with Yann, my financial knowledge was basic at best. The only method I had to gauge how well my company was performing financially was to see if there was any money left in the account after bills were paid. My fear and uncertainty about our financial situation, both now and in the future, was causing me significant emotional distress. I looked for a long time for someone who could help me break things down in a way that I could comprehend; my accountant, financial planner, and other small practice owners all made an effort but none of them could give me the clarity and stability I was looking for.

I had the fortunate opportunity to meet Yann, and after a thorough evaluation, we were able to create specific goals that would help me feel more financially secure and improve my financial literacy. It wasn't always easy; my mind struggled to accept that I could master these skills. It is difficult to let go of old beliefs and patterns. Yann was patient and persistent with me, and I can confidently say that working together has changed my life. Yann has assisted me in gaining a more detailed understanding of not just my company's finances but also my personal finances. I now understand my finances at both the macro and micro levels, and I sleep a lot better at night!

Audrey L., Denver. CO. Founder/CEO, Board Certified Adult Psychiatrist, Chapter President of the Florida Psychiatric Society

Before starting coaching sessions with Yann, I didn’t quite know what I needed to progress my career. I was feeling burnt out and anxious, so I wanted to take action in some way and that is why I decided to try career coaching. Yann helped me think about beliefs I had about myself in a new way. I felt supported and encouraged as I unwrapped the thoughts and feelings that were causing my anxiety and imposter syndrome. Yann gave me practical tools to self-soothe when I feel anxious and now, I have steps to move confidently towards my career ambition to work internationally.

Martha L., Minneapolis, MN, Senior Data Scientist

Yann helped me discover who I am. Before I worked with Yann, I struggled with public speaking. Through working with her, she helped identify what was the cause and how to overcome that challenge. She took time to understand me and facilitated my self-awareness through self-reflection. She asked insightful questions that helped me identify what I desire in life and how I want to live my life. I have definitely seen a HUGE improvement in my own personal, academic and professional career. This has resulted in closer and more meaningful relationships in my life and obtaining a competitive new job, which has fueled my growth and future ambitions.

Hugo L., Chicago, IL, Entrepreneur & Financial Analyst

I invested in coaching with Yann at the beginning of a career transition. My goals were to be more effective as I adapted to a new role, team, and leadership, I wanted to enjoy the process, and I wanted to lay the foundation for a future leadership role. At the same time, I also wanted to work toward more positive and authentic personal relationships.

Over the course of six months, Yann shared solutions and options from her own experience that enabled me to approach the many changes with more confidence, enjoyment, and effectiveness than I would have achieved on my own. In parallel, I initiated the most important conversations I have ever had with my family to dissolve long-standing barriers in our relationships. Yann is an accomplished and caring guide, and she helped me achieve my professional and personal goals for coaching.

Cathleen C., Greater Orlando, FL, Cybersecurity and Compliance Leader

I have not worked with a coach for a long time and felt like it was time to work with a professional who could help me ‘recalibrate’ on my goals. I had taken a new role and due to a few organizational changes, ended up in a different team. Logically I knew it was the right thing to stay and ‘push through’ but I was able to work with Yann to identify my key strengths and work on re-scoping my role to align more closely with my professional goals. One thing that I also like and appreciate about Yann’s style of coaching is she dives deeper into your personal background, identifies what you prioritize values-wise and works with that to help in your decision-making framework. Being an immigrant and growing up in a fairly traditional religious household, she was able to coach me to be more mindful of decisions I was making out of subconscious bias or need to please people around me; a key thing I need to overcome as I step up in more senior roles. I appreciate all of Yann’s guidance.

Fadhilah L., Seattle, WA., Business Development at Amazon, Global Partnerships at Amazon Games, Chief Member

I was ambivalent about starting coaching initially, but I decided to invest in myself and give it a try. In working with Yann, I have learned to challenge and reframe my thoughts, ultimately helping me work through live events and form healthier, more meaningful relationships. Yann's approach is supportive and objective. She helped me prioritize my own needs and wants, rather than focusing on how others perceive me. I became more able to identify my strengths and capabilities both professionally and personally. Yann also pointed out my growth and progress when I was unable to recognize it myself.

I am extremely grateful to Yann and would highly recommend her to others!

Lauren F., Chicago, IL, Director of Operations Nonprofit Organization

Working with Yann has been a transformative experience. I came to her in need of support to develop and reinforce my leadership skills, and through our sessions, I’ve gained clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of self. Yann has a unique ability to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and provide the tools needed to be successful. She has a remarkable ability to pinpoint areas for growth and provide actionable feedback that leads to real results.  Her support and encouragement have empowered me to take bold steps toward both my professional and personal goals. I cannot recommend Yann enough to anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their professional or personal life.

Sarah B., Berlin, N.J., National Director of Project Management, Nonprofit Organization

My executive coaching experience was transformative, guiding me to unlock my full potential. Through insightful sessions and strategic guidance, Yann encouraged me as I walked into my greatness with confidence and clarity. The coaching provided invaluable tools and perspectives that have profoundly impacted my personal and professional growth.

Nichole T., Atlanta, GA., Chief People Officer, Chief Member

After only a couple of months of coaching, I feel like I am finally living the life that I always wanted.  My boss, the CEO, even said she sees me making decisions like an Executive instead of a Department Head.
