Your Growth Mindset Coach

Yvette Durazo has been referred by her clients as the “ Growth Mindset Coach” because of her Empowering, Explorative, Transformative, and Direct coaching style when necessary.
Yvette provides a one-on-one partnership to help you identify your attitudes towards conflict, as well as to seize the opportunity to learn strategies for changing non-productive behaviors, or to manage situations by yourself. Together we will transform any trace of a fixed mindset into a growth mindset.

Coaching guides individuals in the development and implementation of strategies to reach identified goals. It enhances their performance and personal satisfaction in life, business, work, and relationships.

Fixed mindset:

Assuming that talent, knowledge, and skills are set and that there is no room for learning, improving, or acquiring new skills.

Growth mindset:

Believing that capabilities can be improved and increased over time. Efforts to achieve improvement and new skills are always worthy.

"I worked with Yvette as my coach at the start of the pandemic in 2020. Originally, I began to work with her to guide me through the changes I was looking to make. It quickly became conflict resolution techniques due to specific situations that had raised during our time and then quickly became how to navigate a global pandemic. She is energetic and intuitive. Her direct approach worked well for me and allowed me to connect with many new insights."

Anne Woods

She teaches how to navigate more smoothly through interactions with various personality types so that positive outcomes are created as her clients interact with people. Whether a person is seeking to improve personal relationships, brand into a new area of business, or reach higher levels in a current career Yvette is a valuable partner and resource."

Remy Merez-Mimms

"Participating in Yvette's Wabi-Sabi Conflict Resolution program allowed me to gain a better understanding of the root cause of avoidance behavior as well as the difference between negative and health conflict. But the real magic came in the private one-on-one coaching sessions where I learned new effective communication techniques that literally changed my life.
