You Have a Desire for Support – In One or More Areas of the Mosaic of Your or Your Organization’s Life.
Hello, my name is Andria L. Yates.
I’m a proud entrepreneur with a unique blend of skills combined with a long and varied life that allows me to create and collaborate with you to explore and achieve your goals.
Whether you are seeking an advisor, consultant, educator, or speaker, I aspire to use my expertise to help you develop, grow, and thrive as an individual, a solo entrepreneur, or within a group or organization.
I listen. I support. I advise.
Andria L. Yates, PhD
Advisor. Consultant. Educator.
My ability to support your challenges is not one-dimensional.
I consult and advise within organizations — an entrepreneur just getting started as well as companies with substantial teams — at Development Concepts.
Through Reach & Thrive, I support independent individuals and groups of all sorts.
I’m also passionate about the privilege of working with undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
Based on the mosaic of my own life, I am a requested speaker at a variety of conferences and events, covering a wide range of topics.
As you explore the services I provide, my efforts are always customized to your needs and challenges. A one size fits all tool does not exist in my tool kit. Instead, I draw from a wide array to find the best solution for you.
Don’t Just Survive Your Personal Life.
Your Organization Can Thrive.
You Can Choose to EXPLORE, EVALUATE, & IMPLEMENT New Approaches to Create the MOSAIC You Want
I work from the perspective that a whole life – whether the focus is an organization, a team, a family, or an individual — is a mosaic. Whether you’re seeking organizational development for an individual or a system, or if you are in search of a way to carve a clear path towards your personal development – I hope my holistic and systematic approach can serve as a resource, balancing the rational and the emotional, research and experience.
