I help individuals and organisations redefine success, navigate career transitions, and thrive. With a wealth of experience as a career coach, speaker, author and podcast host, I’ve dedicated my career to empowering professionals to take charge of their journeys and unlock their full potential.
​
As the founder of YES Career Coaching, I’ve worked with hundreds of individuals at pivotal moments in their careers—helping them move from uncertainty to clarity, disengagement to passion, and stagnation to progress.

Expertise as a Speaker
I bring this same passion, expertise and a sprinkling of humour to the stage, where I deliver compelling talks on a range of career topics. My speaking engagements are designed to inspire, challenge, and equip audiences with actionable strategies to excel in their careers while staying true to themselves.
​
Key topics I cover include:
​
1. Redefining Professional Success
In a world that glorifies hustle culture, I challenge conventional definitions of success. My talks focus on aligning career goals with personal values to create a life that feels fulfilling—not just busy.
​
2. Balancing Ambition with Well-Being
Ambition doesn’t have to come at the cost of mental health. I explore strategies for achieving professional growth while maintaining balance and prioritising well-being.
​
3. Reinventing Your Career Like a Pro
Whether it’s a leap into a new field or a shift within your current industry, I provide the roadmap to navigate reinvention with confidence and purpose.
​
4. The Art of the Career Pivot
Change can be intimidating, but it’s also an opportunity to thrive. I encourage audiences how to embrace their transferable skills, build resilience, and bring out the best version of themselves in their new chapter.
​
5. Owning Your Strengths in a Fast-Paced World
In today’s rapidly changing workplace, standing out is essential. I help professionals recognise their 'unique blend' and position themselves as invaluable assets.

Why choose Yesim as a speaker at your next event?
As the host of the podcast Your Big Career Move and author of Ready to Quit Your Job?, I’ve built a platform for meaningful conversations about the evolving nature of work. My career coaching business focuses on transforming disengaged employees into high-performing contributors or empowering them to take the next step in their careers.
​
Through my talks, I aim to not only inspire but also provide practical takeaways that audiences can implement immediately. My approach is rooted in authenticity, empathy, and a deep understanding of the complexities of modern careers.
