Meet Our Founder
I’m Yolanda, and I know what it’s like to feel out of sync with your career. I’ve pivoted from a finance manager to nonprofit leadership, to a recruitment manager, and back again. Fueled by money, not purpose. Over time, the gap between who I was and who I wanted to be grew wider. To say I lacked clarity is an understatement.
A 2011 mission trip to Kisumu, Kenya, changed everything. While standing on the shore of Lake Victoria at the Dunga Restaurant, I was transfixed by the most ethereal sunset. The symphony of colors reflected the water’s vastness, making the horizon seem limitless.
At that moment, I realized that my only limits were the ones I had set. That sunset became a pictogram of my untapped potential— and the vision of a future where my skills, talents, and experience merged into a meaningful purpose.
That moment of clarity became the foundation for Dunvora – “Dun” for the place where inspiration struck, and “Vora” for water and sunset that represented faith, promise, and transformation.
Today, through Dunvora Coaching Boutique, I help professionals, students, and organizations rediscover and realign with their “why.” With over two decades of experience as a coach, consultant, and instructor and credentials in I/O psychology, nonprofit management, career development, and entrepreneurship instruction, I merge industry expertise with professional insight to create a lasting impact.
Dunvora was founded to be your sunset pictogram, where you connect your purpose to potential and move forward with clarity and confidence.
