Meet Yvonne E. Robinson
I am Yvonne E. Robinson, an Executive Career & Reinvention Coach helping high-achieving professionals navigate career transitions, elevate their leadership presence, and unlock long-term success. I’m also the author of THE EDGE: Outperform, Outshine, and Outlast In Your Career, a strategic guide for professionals ready to lead boldly, earn more, and thrive in competitive environments.
Recently, I was honored with the title of Ottawa’s Best Career Coach by Faces Magazine.
My career journey has been anything but ordinary. From Librarian to Teacher, Sales Representative, University Professor, Senior Director of Professional Staffing, and now a successful Executive Career Coach.
I’ve lived the reinvention I now teach. I’ve faced job changes, pivots, and even layoffs. But each challenge fueled my determination. I pursued my goals relentlessly, earning two major degrees while working full-time and even changing careers at 50.
As an immigrant woman, I rose from the help desk to the executive desk, eventually retiring from corporate life at 65, with a full-day celebration in my honor.
The most valuable lesson I’ve learned? Your career isn’t a ladder; it’s a staircase. And you have the power to build it your way.
As a Career Success Coach, I share this wisdom with ambitious professionals ready to advance, pivot, and thrive.
Don’t be afraid to carve your own path. Build your staircase. With grit, strategy, and belief in yourself, you can achieve the career you deserve.
Do you need to take your career to the next level?

Lily landed three six figure jobs in one week!
"I started interviewing and each time I had an interview, I got better and better. It was one Friday where you made tweaks to my resume and online presence, and then suddenly on Monday my phone exploded, and I had so many requests for interviews. I literally could not keep up. I had interview after interview. And so I ended up with three simultaneous offers and so I was so excited because they were all great companies."

WHAT ARE OTHER CAREER PROFESSIONALS SAYING?
Career Change! Career Pivot! Landed The job!
"Yvonne helped me to make a career change"
After deciding to make a career change and leave a successful full-time job after several years, Yvonne helped me through the process of not only applying for new jobs and prepping for the interviews, but through the process of self-discovery and clarity.
She used her tool kit to help me formulate my wants + wish lists; she asked the tough questions that helped provide clarity in my thoughts; and, she worked with me to create strategies that would work for me personally and my professional development.
Her enthusiasm for the job search and her clients, coupled with her positive energy fueled me to research, apply and communicate my worth as a professional.
Time spent with Yvonne is a value-add to any career search.
Rochelle James - Management Consultant
"You are never too old! Yvonne reaffirmed that my 30 years of experience was valuable to employers"
'The first thing I noticed about Yvonne is her amazing level of positive energy, giving spirit, and absolutely contagious enthusiasm.
I immediately valued her vast experience and insights from her many years as a successful professional recruiter. She clearly knows the industry and how things work.
Yvonne's advice was incredibly helpful to me - it reaffirmed that I was on the right track, that my over 30 years of experience mattered and how to showcase it, and most importantly it restored some of the faith and confidence I had lost during the initial months of my job search where I had literally questioned everything.
Yvonne and I made some changes and just a few days later my phone literally exploded with interview requests. I could not keep up!
Ultimately Yvonne was right on so many points, and I ended up in a multiple simultaneous offer scenario.
Thank you so much Yvonne, you are absolutely amazing.
Lily Abelo - Senior Product Manager
"Yvonne helped me to career pivot and get promoted in the same year"
Yvonne worked with me to advance my career to the next level.
She was great from the initial meeting where she helped craft a plan based on what I wanted to achieve, how to ensure I covered every base to get there…I really liked her high energy and unbridled optimism, no matter what the seemingly unsurpassable obstacles were on the way to achieving success, she has an innate ability to empower you froward.
I wholeheartedly recommend Yvonne as a career management coach.
Yvonne is meant for this work. She has a tremendous ability to help people figure out what it is that really motivates them, and drives them to build on their strengths and activate their passion.

I was capable to quickly assess my career needs and aspirations and afterward, I was able to identify the types of companies to target, how to prepare for interviews, and how to write my resume to get hired. Within a few weeks.
I was able to find a wonderful opportunity that fully aligned with my career goals and the personal growth I was seeking in my professional life.
Yvonne shared her expertise and recommendations in areas beyond career coaching.
Her coaching defines career advancement and has helped me immeasurably.

" Yvonne's techniques and lessons were invaluable to me"
As a new immigrant, I was feeling lost in my job search and wasn't getting much response despite applying to many positions. I was getting frustrated until I met Yvonne through a college.
I connected with her on LinkedIn and she offered me personalized sessions that truly made a difference.
Thanks to Yvonne's guidance and expertise, she transformed my resume and taught me how to optimize it for my target jobs.
I followed her advice and revamped my resume, and the results were amazing. I started to get more interviews, and eventually landed a job that I'm thrilled about.
Yvonne's techniques and lessons were invaluable, and I'm extremely grateful for her help. I highly recommend her services to anyone who's looking to improve their job search and land their dream job.

Norman Katz - Sales Manager
"Yvonne promotes collaboration and helped me land a new job"
I met Yvonne in a chance meeting on LinkedIn and had the pleasure of working with her recently when I took her career coaching course. I found her personality to be very energetic and engaging. She thoroughly assessed me (i.e., professional character, personality, vital soft skills) after a 1-hour initial session. She was able to customize her course content to support my professional needs.
The key areas that were invaluable to me were helping me to recognize the significance between having a master vs. prospecting and targeting resumes.
The other key area was multiplicity in one’s career and the ability to know who I am in terms of the role that mostly aligns with my professional practice's.
Her coaching style promotes collaboration, mutual respect, and constructive feedback based on her extensive IT and recruitment diasporas.
Thank you, Yvonne, for your invaluable service and for helping me revamp my resume and finding a new job.
Dione Valentine- Project Executive
"Yvonne helped me with my professional branding and helped me land y new job"
I was looking for a new job for 8 months during the Pandemic, but I was not successful. I also paid a resume writing service to get my LinkedIn profile and resume created but it was not working for me.
I reached out to Yvonne through a mutual friend during the pandemic who told me that her results are fast. I did not believe but I did it anyway.
I met with her for consultation and that changed everything for me.
Yvonne helped me with my professional branding including a new LinkedIn profile, and resume rewrite. She also told me to watch her YouTube videos about specific topics. I watched her YouTube videos and used the strategies in my interviews. I landed a job within a few weeks of following her career advice and I still use those tips to navigate my career path.
She is amazing!!!
If you would like to advance in your career, I highly recommend Yvonne Robinson-Jackson, you will not have any regrets.
