“Yejin was a huge contributing factor to my overall growth as a social impact/DEI professional and introverted leader. As an Asian-identifying woman in the sector, oftentimes, it's hard to find someone that truly understands the nuances of working in the nonprofit/social sector with my specific background and identities. Her non judgmental and inclusive coaching style made me feel safe in so many ways. Dark parts of myself came to light in my sessions. I appreciated her sensitivity and shared tools of empowerment to nudge me closer to my reach goals. I've truly transformed under her care, guidance, and mentorship. I would recommend her to anyone exploring their identity as a leader and commitment to social and racial justice, unreservedly.”

“As an AAPI woman in executive leadership, it was really important to me to find a coach who A) was not a straight, cis white man; B) embodied values of equity, racial justice, and liberation; and C) understood my work, which sits at the intersection of nonprofit, movement building, and civic engagement. I found that coach in Yejin. Working with her over the past year has been a total game-changer. She offers a pragmatic framework to turn values into action and operationalize equity in our workplace. Her coaching style is collaborative rather than prescriptive, which makes our work together feel like a true partnership. Whether she is helping provide support for immediate fires or long term planning, Yejin has been an invaluable partner to me.”

“I worked with Yejin during a challenging and transitional time in my life and career during the pandemic. I had multiple ideas about the direction I wanted to go in my career, with a focus on community and autonomy. Yejin meets you where you are. She helped me break down big ideas that seemed impossible and overwhelming, into tangible steps towards my goals. She facilitated introspection in each visit, which helped clarify things that are actually important to me. I'm glad I invested time to work with Yejin. Her support, guidance, and expertise is highly recommended to anyone navigating their career path. She's a bad ass!”

“I am a first generation neurodiverse Latina who was diagnosed late in life with my learning differences. I have navigated spaces with the possible understanding that I may process things differently, but as a person, it's hard enough to discern reactions and emotions to things such as toxic social constructs and microaggressions, let alone understand how to self-advocate effectively. After hearing one of Yejin's talks, I felt we held similar values and thought I can learn how to identify things more effectively and navigate the workplace in a more intentional manner. Yejin disclosed that she does not specialize in coaching neurodiverse individuals and provided additional resources, but I must say having worked with others who say they do specialize in working with neurodiverse individuals, she was much more attuned and willing to learn nuances. I started our coaching sessions feeling like my communication needed a lot of work, but after discussing in detail the experiences I underwent, we ended up deconstructing incidents in such a way that helped me realize that communication was skewed; that there were expectations that I had that weren't met by leadership in my company. We spent a lot of time discussing ways to help me strategize how to navigate work better, and most importantly, envision the best work environment for me.”
