Yvonne Durand | Coach & HR Consultant | Founder of Yvolve LLC
I’m a career coach and HR consultant for professionals in senior-level positions. I help experienced leaders, executives, and HR experts find clarity about what they want so they can create fulfilling and joyful careers and make intentional, well-aligned decisions over time.
I work as a trusted thinking partner supporting clients through career decisions, leadership challenges, and moments of transition, as well as over the long term as they navigate growth and responsibility.
My superpowers are connecting the dots to reveal your story and guiding you in aligning your professional goals with your personal values as a trusted thinking partner, not just a short-term fixer.
