Tomekia Reed, Division I Head WBB Coach
"Yolanda helped me see my true value outside of being a coach by discovering my leadership style, how I think, and what truly drives me to compete and win on a daily basis. Her approach is like that of an Olympic coach in that she helps you maximize every ounce of your potential so you can seize the opportunities before you."
Carla McGhee, Olympic Gold Medalist
"I've had several career transitions from leading player development for the WNBA to helping build several major DI women's basketball programs as a top recruiter, so I thought I was utilizing my gifts. It wasn't until I sat with Yolanda and did a deep dive to really get to know myself outside of my role as an athlete and coach so I could tap into the gold mind of my strengths as an empathetic servant leader who gets results."
