Yvonne has a remarkable ability to provide insight to understand both sides of a conflict, while helping you reframe your argument carefully to both de-escalate and articulate an effective representation of your view to obtain the best results.
Rather than using the “give them a taste of their own medicine’ approach in a conflict, she raises the bar, discusses both sides and helps you present your best, convincing argument so that you can still feel good about yourself while also presenting effective discussion to achieve the best results.
I would highly recommend Reframe – How to Reframe your Conversations to resolve messy conflicts to anyone who wants to improve their work or home relationships.
Yvonne has been a real asset to our team. She has a strong understanding of management, organization and leadership; and has used that background to establish a young and brand new set of teams under her responsibility.

Yvonne’s strength is not only leading a team, but also training and empowering them to lead themselves.

Dear Yvonne, My fiancé and I really enjoyed participating in the couples’ discovery session with you. Your expertise in helping us to learn more about each other’s strengths and weaknesses will definitely help to strengthen the foundation of our marriage.
The simple and practical tips and suggestions that you offered throughout the discovery session will go a long way in supporting our new marriage. In addition, we also found your tools and techniques intuitive and approachable. It was truly a pleasant and fruitful experience.
Thank you!

I love working with her and highlly recommend her to any business professional that wants to REALLY achieve their highest potential.
Dear Yvonne, I learned through your behaviour that we have to be passionate and listen to others. You showed us how to be a “servant leader”.
You showed us how to come back when things are down. You taught us to care for others no matter how our personalities may clash. You taught me to stay positive and persevere in the face of adversity. You taught me to recognize that as a team player, I am never alone.
Thank You!
Dear Yvonne, I am exceptionally grateful to you for your investment in me. I learned so much about myself during our four month coaching program.
Your time, energy and encouragement helped me to take important steps in my life and career that continue to bring health and happiness to me and my family. This journey has not been about “fixing,” but about becoming the person I want to be. Knowing myself as I do now, I feel so much at peace.
Thanks so much!
