Who is it for

Four types of leaders I help most.




Executives & Founders

C-suite leaders and entrepreneurs who've built successful businesses but struggle to switch off the inner critic that questions every strategic decision.

VPs, Heads & Senior Leaders

VPs, department heads and senior managers caught between board expectations and team realities, working twice as hard as their peers just to feel they belong at the executive table.

Middle Management & Team Leaders

Team leads, project managers, and department managers who deliver exceptional results but find their voices get lost when presenting to senior stakeholders.

Technical Experts & Specialists

Engineers, commercial specialists, and subject matter experts whose deep knowledge gets overlooked because they haven't mastered the leadership presence to match their expertise.

Proven results in leadership transformation.

Working with Yorik helped me become more intentional in how I communicate and influence. He showed me how often outdated habits were holding me back and guided me to replace them with positive, forward-looking behaviours. I am learning to bring people on board more effectively, to create space for dialogue, and to build trust through self-awareness.
