Pastor Eric Hamp
Associate Pastor (Word of Life Christian Center)
Yolanda Greer is a powerful and gifted speaker and teacher. The way she unfolds God’s Word to make it palatable to hearers of every age is amazing. I have witnessed her teach on a level that is both deep and exciting to keep the entire room engaged. Our church has invited Yolanda to fulfill teaching and speaking engagements on both single and protracted settings over the years and have always been blessed. I highly recommend Yolanda to enhance or support any event.
Coaching client
YOLANDA HAS A UNIQUE BALANCE OF DEEP FELT COMPASSION AND THE ABILITY TO MOVE HER CLIENTS FORWARD. AS A COACH, SHE IS BOTH EMPATHETIC BUT ALSO EMPOWERING, AND HELPS HER CLIENTS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE REALITY OF THEIR SITUATION WITHOUT ALLOWING THE CIRCUMSTANCES TO IMPEDE THEIR FORWARD MOMENTUM.
Dr. Sue-Lin Toussaint
I was facing a great deal of transition which was causing me some distress and burnout on my job. Yolanda helped me to focus on connecting to my “why” by both identifying my strengths and talents and helping me to consider what I could do to remove the barriers to my joy on the job. I was able to have a reasonable expectation of myself, be reflective about what was in my control, and address some of the barriers right away. Without her support, I would have likely left my position, or “quietly quit.” Instead, I am reinvigorated and ready to take on the next challenges in my work.

Rhonda Williams
I came to ElevateUEd at a time when my career seemed dormant and stalled. All doors to employment seemed shut. Through consultation, ElevateUEd listened to me and helped me explore my career and employment goals for this time in my life. They helped me define what I want, what I’m willing to do and willing to give up to attain my goals. At the same time, they encouraged me to identify ideas and dreams I still want to pursue and work on one that I could do right now. That inspired me to hope and activated me to work towards something personal and meaningful that is within my control, and not just related to a job search. It was a mental and emotional dopamine boost that translated to reexamining my job search desires and approach. I’m grateful for the time, support and encouragement I received through my consultation sessions with ElevateUEd.

Bryant Shaw
I am grateful beyond words for the opportunity I have to work with Yolanda. She has the ability to reach into a situation/or person and strategically pull relevant "do nows" and "plan laters". The manner in which she does this has provided the space for me to see the big picture while managing the critical details. She has walked alongside me through many leadership journeys and I look forward to many more! She can get you where you're going....but more importantly, she will help you see it clearly.

My experience working with Yolanda was nothing short of transformative. She approached our sessions with a level of professionalism and expertise that truly impressed me. Her guidance and insights were invaluable, helping me navigate through challenges and discover aspects of myself I hadn't realized before. One particular challenge at work involved revamping a training program under significant pressure. Without Yolanda's unwavering support and expertise, I doubt I would have succeeded. Her guidance not only helped me meet my performance goals but also allowed me to navigate the project with confidence and clarity. Throughout our sessions, Yolanda demonstrated a deep understanding of her field and a genuine passion for helping others. Her dedication and support were unwavering, leaving me feeling empowered and motivated after each interaction. She's not just a life coach; she's a beacon of knowledge, support, and guidance. I highly recommend her services for anyone seeking personal growth and professional development. Thank you, Yolanda for your outstanding support and for helping me on my journey to self-discovery and success.I wholeheartedly appreciate you and value our coaching connection.

Yolanda and I have had awesome conversations over the years, but it was time for formal coaching. I haven't been as disciplined as I used to be and since I have more responsibilities these days, I needed some help. Among other Action Steps (like being intentional with sleep habits), our discussions helped me to realize that I need to calendar my time, which has improved my discipline. Also, having my own Affirmation Story is actually pretty inspiring. Yolanda's heart complements her expertise, so I enjoyed the process. She's definitely helped me gain momentum toward my goals.
Dr. Jesús Rodriguez
Absolutely! I would highly recommend Elevate U to other educational leaders. It's a well-designed program that combines solid research with practical application. What sets it apart is how actionable everything feels - you're not just learning theory, but developing concrete skills and strategies you can implement immediately. The blend of group learning, individual coaching, and tools like the 360 feedback creates a comprehensive growth experience. It really does help you develop as both a person and a leader, with support systems built in to ensure you actually apply what you're learning. I'd highly recommend both Yolanda and Elevate U to anyone serious about becoming an exemplary leader who delivers real results. The program doesn't just focus on leadership theory - it gives you the tools, accountability, and personalized support to actually transform how you lead. Yolanda's coaching style strikes the perfect balance of challenge and support, and the overall experience has genuinely impacted how I approach my leadership role.
