Andria L. Yates, Ph.D.
Hi, I’m Andria L. Yates, Ph.D. and I’m a serial entrepreneur with a unique blend of technical and organizational skillsets, but I’ll spare you the formal details. Instead, let’s focus on what I’m passionate about: teaching at the University of Tennessee, guiding individuals and corporations through development challenges at Development Concepts, and sharing all this knowledge through public speaking. While I might not be the most active LinkedIn user, I’m excited to channel my energy into this work after an unexpected detour that’s only strengthened my vision. Stay tuned!
Assess Your Goals.
Develop Your Expertise.
Identify Obstacles & Solutions.
STEP I | Assess
To start, we need to identify your career or personal ambitions – highlighting your current skills, interests, and objectives. By identifying and gaining access to this knowledge, I can better curate resources, and best practices that’ll help you evolve and excel in your career.
STEP II | Develop
In the development phase of the process, we’ll work to acquire new skills, deepen existing ones, and broaden your expertise. This phase is marked by continuous learning, practice, and personal growth. My recommendations will vary by individual in order to best align with your career aspirations.
STEP III | Support
Now we’re to the best part: actionable planning. This part of the process involves creating a step-by-step action plan that outlines the necessary steps to achieve your individual career goals. This includes identifying potential obstacles and developing strategies to overcome them, as well as setting timelines and milestones to measure progress.
