Yamilette Dr. Yam Williams Notable Quotes
“Because of the work that we’re in as coaches, we, in and of itself, are a support mechanism for others. But we, as a coach, need to have a platform like this where you have a place you can go to, a person or people that you can lean on to keep you abreast of what you’re doing as for goals as well be a sounding board.”
– Yamilette Williams
“What I do find is that sometimes, when we go into business for ourselves—and this is kind of one of my whole signature lines—just because you’re in a business for yourself doesn’t mean you have to do this by yourself.”
– Yamilette Williams
