YH Coaching & Communications
Your Story is Powerful.
Step Into It with Confidence & Clarity.
What's Your Story?
Everyone has a story that is unique and powerful. When you go through periods of transition, that story can get challenged. You may start to question yourself, what you are doing in your life and career, and the value you offer in the world.
What would your story say if you fully embraced your full value as a person, separate of any job or life role? How would that feel? Let's find out, together.
Career & Transition Coaching
Pursue a career that honors your values, talents and needs by better understanding your voice, building your narrative, and sharing both with confidence and clarity.
Narrative Development
Develop a clear personal narrative that is authentic to you -- to your strengths, experiences, needs, and values.
Then share it with confidence.
Leadership Coaching
Be the leader you want to have. Someone who creates an environment where team members feel like they belong, and know their contributions are valued.
Communications Consulting
Engage your stakeholders with clear, relatable messages, and a realistic strategic communications plan.
About Me: Yvette Huygen
I became a certified coach because I want to help people navigating significant life transitions quiet their doubts and embrace their possibilities.
Before becoming a coach, I spent nearly 30 years leading corporate communications teams and programs. I worked with people across teams, roles and continents. I was in environments where change was a constant, and I saw how it can drain a person's energy. I also saw how it can open up opportunities.
Perhaps you want to make a career change, are entering (or re-entering) the workforce, or are embarking on a new leadership role. Perhaps you have been laid off and want to feel as strong as possible as you move forward. Maybe you are caring for an aging loved one, or are wondering what retirement might look like.
I've been there myself. I know how hard it can be to go through a major life change. It's natural to question our value, to ponder what really matters, to fear the 'bad' things that can happen, to worry about making the 'right' choice.
We can never be sure of what the future holds, but we can take the time to understand ourselves -- our hopes, our realities, our fears, our strengths -- so we can make choices with clarity and confidence.
Whatever life chapter you are entering, let's talk. Because it's time to step into your unique story.
What It's Like to Work With Me
"I didn't know what to expect when I started coaching. I had a feeling that it would help me gain confidence, clarity, and courage. But I had no idea how much insight about myself, my journey, and my path forward I would gain. With Yvette's guidance and supportive coaching style, our first few sessions helped me to understand the recurring themes of my past and how to overcome them. Later on, each session helped me to pinpoint what I wanted to work on, and her suggestions for taking action that very day really opened my eyes to how small steps, a change in mindset, and a clearer understanding of where I wanted to go and who I wanted to be could bring immediate and powerful change.
​
Throughout the process, I felt stronger and stronger. Yvette encouraged me, uplifted me, and then celebrated with me when I discovered something about myself that helped to unlock past frustrations and disappointments. Today, I feel so grounded and know that I have a very positive future ahead of me. Yvette's coaching helped me to achieve all this.
I want to thank Yvette for changing my life in such a positive way!"
