Yolanda Harris
Catalyst For Change
A trusted business coach, leadership advisor and expert in building businesses, Yolanda Harris came to the motivational speaking industry with more than 20 years of executive leadership experience in the areas of marketing, real estate, finance and business development. Prior to forming her company, The Keynote Group, Yolanda worked in the financial industry with First Interstate and Wells Fargo, where she specialized in corporate training and transition management. On the commercial real estate side, she launched a beta-test team model in San Diego for CB Richard Ellis, where she excelled in sales management and increased annual revenues by $2.2 million, earning her the company’s prestigious “Rookie of the Year” award.
Yolanda’s passion for excellence in leadership, and implementation of change, led her to internationally-known authority on peak performance, Anthony Robbins, where she directed the coaching sales division, helping evolve the department into a cohesive and highly profitable team. Having worked closely with the motivational speaking maverick, Yolanda quickly carved out a unique niche for herself, one that combined her enthusiasm for influential speakers with her mastery of building remarkable and financially successful businesses. Following this passion, Yolanda continued to lend her expertise to other high profile speakers such as Keith Harrell, Les Brown, Jeffrey Gitomer, Cynthia Kersey and Bob Burg.
In 2003, Yolanda established The Keynote Group, which represents a talented roster of clientele from an array of industries. The company supports highly-acclaimed authorities in their field looking to perfect their message, as well as top performing Fortune 500 executives make the transition from corporate America to entrepreneurial speaker. By leveraging their unique selling points, Yolanda helps a pool of leaders build a world-class speaking business.
