Why Yvette started North Star Coaching
I spent over 20 years in a beautiful career for a great company. Each year that passed, I found more distance between my values and the work I was doing. I thought I had too much invested to look for what I loved.
I feared changing careers because I was comfortable in the requirements, the relationships, the skills, and all the monetary benefits. But I was not happy or satisfied. I finally did a deep dive into my soul,
prayed a lot, and took the leap. It was scary but so liberating. It prepared me with courage and agility for my next challenge. Today, I could not be happier with all that I get to do, including working with other incredible women
who need some guidance, strategy, process, faith, and courage to move forward to what they want from their work.
Imagine you are waking up to
go to work today, and you cannot wait to get there. You will do work that you believe in, something that touches your heart and soul, gives you energy, and is fulfilling. Then you head home at the end of the day, still having energy
and time for yourself and your family. Does this sound good to you? I want to help you create change in your career NOW – don’t wait until precious years pass, to make this change.
“No one escapes the wilderness on the way to the promised land.” – Annie Dillard
Speaking with women about their career fulfillment, these are some of the most common things they tell me:
I want more time with my family.
I want less stress.
I want to know I have a purpose in my work.
I want to be part of a team.
I want to be rated on my contributions.
I want to be heard.
I want healthy, productive work relationships.
I want to focus on health, exercise, and self-care.
I want respect and recognition for my performance.
I want to set healthy boundaries and have them respected.
I would love to work with you, and be your strategist, mentor, and accountability partner to:
Nail down what you want and what you do not want in your career.
Define your current identity and your purpose.
Determine fears or hurdles that are holding you back from having Your perfect career.
Identify skills you have/skills you need.
Create a Plan that you can use to make the changes that you want to make in your career life, which will also affect your family life and personal life in powerful ways:
Decide on your perfect career.
Determine and plan for skills required for it and actions to take.
What might hold you back? Where there is fear, we can brainstorm how to move past it.
Decide and commit to it.
Get started – I am here for you!

Our Programs
We recommend that each program starts with a TTI Success Insights Assessment. I offer DISC Behavioral Styles and/or Workplace Motivators.
The DISC assessment will help with identifying your behaviors including how you collaborate and communicate with others. The Workplace Motivators will shed light on what you are passionate about and how it drives why you do what you do. The feedback you will receive will be extremely valuable in choosing the right career path for you.
Bronze Program
This program is for those women who like their job or career and enjoy their work. You have a few things that could be sitting better with you that you want to enhance or change. You may benefit from two to three months of working with Yvette to design, plan, and take action to make those changes to bring completeness to what is already working most of the time for you.
Silver Program
This six-month program will prepare you to change from one job to another within the same career path. We will meet for 1 ½ hours each month you enroll to complete your plan.

We will pull out your accomplishments, and determine development and improvements that you may want to invest in to strengthen you for that next role. You will be able to take actions through our work and planning to get motivated to land that new job.
Gold Program
This nine-month in-depth program will prepare you to change from one career to another. We will work together during each month in two one-hour sessions.

We will follow an in-depth process to create a plan to guide you to a successful and smooth transition.
Client Reviews
Yvette reminded me that I’m in charge of where I go in life. I realized the beliefs and fears that I have are only self-defeating. I am more confident that I can accomplish anything that I want in my life.
Jem D.
I sought coaching from Yvette to help me through some things I wanted to change at my job. Yvette helped me slow down my thought process and think about what I had control over changing. She helped me produce a simple plan for some changes I made in how I approached situations, and conversations that I had which brought about good impact on enjoying my work more and feeling respected.
Lynn S.
Yvette is an adept listener who possesses the ability to assess situations in a thoughtful manner. She masterfully revived my critical thinking, problem solving, and reflective skills helping me to move forward in several areas. My sessions with her proved to be invaluable. If you are at an impasse in your life or career, I highly recommend her.
