Partnering with Organizations to Strengthen Human Capability and Accelerate Growth
Partnering with Organizations to Strengthen Human Capability and Accelerate Growth

Yolanda Green Barnes is the Founder and Chief Leadership Strategist of The Ashayé Group, a dynamic keynote speaker, former corporate executive, and architect of human performance.
Yolanda knows what it means to lead from the light within even when life makes that light hard to find. Becoming a mother as a teenager could have defined the ceiling of what was possible. Instead it became the first test of a truth she would spend her life proving: that with the right skills, the right mindset, and an unshakeable sense of purpose, transformation is always within reach. She graduated college, launched a broadcasting career, and spent nearly two decades telling the stories of others and leading community engagement work.
That commitment to people carried her into telecom, where she led enterprise community impact strategy before stepping into her most purposeful work yet: developing the leaders who shape what is possible for the teams they lead.
She has guided thousands of professionals, designed large-scale development initiatives, and advised senior executives on building high-performing organizations bringing hard-won practitioner insight to every room she enters.

The Ashayé Group is a boutique consulting agency specializing in the delivery of customized leadership development experiences.
Àṣẹ, pronounced ah-shay, means the divine authority to manifest. The power to speak something into existence. The belief that what lives within you is enough to transform what stands before you.
That belief is the foundation of everything The Ashayé Group does.
Because when leaders grow, organizations grow, and when organizations grow, people’s lives change.
This is Ashayé.

We design customized, human-centered learning experiences that shift mindsets, build emotionally intelligent leaders, and transform cultures at their core.
Every engagement is grounded in the ASHAYÉ Model™, our proprietary framework built around the six capabilities that determine how leaders perform and how organizations grow: self-awareness, strategic communication, human-centered leadership, accountability, an integrated leadership presence, and the ability to elevate the people around them.
We bring the rigor of data, the precision of tailored design, and the depth of real human experience to every engagement.
