Coaching & Consulting

Partnering with leaders and teams to elevate performance, enliven strategies, and enrich workplace cultures.

Yael Blum Executive Coach & Executive Consultant

“I see leadership as a shared endevour and an act of love.”

Hello, my name is Yael

I am a professional leadership coach and organization development consultant with over two decades of experience partnering with senior leaders, HR professionals, teams and individuals to elevate performance, enliven strategies, and enrich workplace cultures.

My approach balances big-picture, systems thinking with a grounded and empathic touch. I believe that purposeful conversations and sustained collaboration guide us to wiser insights and actions, transforming our workplaces into communities of impact and belonging.

Guided by a commitment to support healthy social systems, I see leadership as a shared endeavour and an act of love—one that raises our collective consciousness and invites us to envision and pursue new possibilities.

J. McLaughlin, Former Lead Coaching Services, UBC

"I recommend Yael highly to anyone who seeks a connection with an extraordinarily creative and effective professional".

Dr. Terry Anderson, Chief Leadership Officer at Command College.org and Co-Author of Every Fire-Rescue Professional Is a Leader

"Yael’s ability to build trust—especially with the toughest and most resistant leaders—is the key ingredient. She doesn’t just deliver a curriculum; she ensures deep engagement, adaptability, and lasting impact."

Fire Chief M. Reed (ret.)

"Working with Yael has been very enlightening. She has an incredible ability to ask the right questions at the right time, helping me uncover insights I didn’t even realize I had. Her coaching has allowed me to become the best possible version of myself. I've noticed a measurable shift in how I have been able to adapt and lead my team. I can’t recommend her highly enough."

Steven L.,  Engineering General Manager

“Yael is a very special person who is not only an expert in her field of professional development – she does it with a spirit of humility and caring, which is rare. I have had the pleasure of working with – or in support of – her projects for several years. She is diligent in her actions and brilliant in her execution.”

Ken Keis Consulting Resource Group

“Yael has a calling for the development of mere mortals into outstanding leaders – her passion for this cause is undeniable, her style is engaging, and her skills are exceptional.”

Paul Anand, Sr. Project Manager BCLDB

“The coaching program has been of tremendous benefit to all of us who have participated. Our ability to organize our thoughts and approach to engaging and communicating with subordinates, peers and superiors has evolved in a positive direction. I believe our new gained knowledge and skills will have a lasting effect on our ability to lead the department and our personal lives more effectively. "

Battalion Chief P. Caceres

“Yael is creative, confident and passionate. I feel these qualities really are the heart of her facilitation. Her approach is down to earth, clever, relaxed and seems to be rooted in her own experiences. I left Yael’s workshop feeling inspired and equipped with new ideas, tools and ways of relating and being in the world around me.”

D. Pemberton,Vancouver

“It is so helpful in elected life, to emerge from all the important city issues, documents, meetings, phone calls, e-mails, letters, media and other public events, to take time to sit back, look at the big picture and decide how to be proactive rather than reactive.”

E. Woodsworth, Former City Councillor, City of Vancouver

"I found the way Yael could make sense of what felt to me at times to be a jumble of words is nothing short of amazing. I loved the way she would listen, and then ask questions, so that I could solve my own problems. Yael has inspired me to be more coach-like myself. I view myself as a "reforming knower", I now realize that there is more value in a good question, than in knowing the "right" answer."

Battalion Chief F. Morgan, Wayne Township
