Executive coaching, group facilitation, and parenting support for globally minded professionals navigating career transitions and family life.
Welcome! I'm Yikee and I'm so glad you are here! I help globally minded professionals navigate career transitions, get promoted, and build real influence without sacrificing their family or well-being.
I have spent nearly two decades internationally working for nonprofits and the United States government, 15+ of those years in Francophone Africa. I've negotiated multimillion dollar deals, managed over $1 billion portfolios, worked in 14 countries, and achieved organizational efficiency in 200+ person organizations. All this while being a devoted wife and active mother of five children (ages 3 to 14).
I published DIPLOMATICALLY: A Guide for Creating Work-life Balance in the Foreign Service (2024 Amazon bestseller and ranked #2 on BookAuthority) to help professionals achieve their personal priorities in the workplace, and DIPLOMATICALLY 2: Django Parenting, A Guide for Raising Resilient Third-Culture Children to help parents better prepare their children for this unpredictable world. I want to help you succeed in your work and your life. The services I provide include 1:1 leadership coaching, group coaching, facilitation for workshops and retreats aimed at organizational improvement, doula services, and parenting coaching. What can I do for YOU? Let's explore together.
