I found the experience of working with Yolande to be very impactful and as an educator myself, I still use much of what I learnt from her in my own personal and professional life. I still miss that beautiful smile and infectious laugh. I would happily recommend Yolande to anyone seeking a highly creative, driven and competent educator with a most caring approach. When you interact or connect with Yolande, you will never leave empty handed. I cannot speak highly enough of this woman and the wealth of knowledge she has to offer!" Pat Bolton

"I was fighting to swim - drowning, and Yolande threw me a life jacket. She reminded me of what I could achieve with structure and support. She left me in the water and has been supporting me to swim. Adult ADHD is real, but Yolande has taught me how to thrive. She has empowered me and reminded me that my success is up to me, and if I have the will to achieve, believe, ask and receive, I will continue to thrive and excel. I am so excited! Thank you Yolande!"

"I met Yolande years ago when she worked with my son. She was reintroduced to me during a company workshop which she conducted; it was amazing! I was searching for a life coach to help me with my goals for the year and after attending her workshop, I knew that I had found the person I was searching for. Yolande's 'Hello 2019' has completely changed the way I look at my life and goals. Yolande's personal sessions have truly empowered me in making positive changes in my personal and professional life. I would recommend her 'Hello 2019' program to anyone who is looking to take their life to the next level.
Yolande - Be blessed my sister-friend. You are walking in your purpose!"

"Yolande recently presented to our Sunday School Ministry on the topic of Classroom Management. We are not trained teachers and we sought training on tools and techniques for our weekly services. Yolande is a gifted presenter and knowledgeable educator with a clear understanding of the need to make learning rewarding and accessible to the various types of learning styles. We all left the presentation with more than what we had anticipated learning. It was so successful that everyone has asked for another presentation. Here are a few testimonials from our Sunday School Teachers:
"Yolande's teaching was awesome! She cleared up many grey areas in teaching and gave us practical tools to make our classrooms more structured and effective. Her presentations are so captivating that you don't want it to be over at the end, but she covers every base so you leave empowered and enlightened."
“We have wanted to have Yolande come in and do a workshop with us for some time. Given that we are a team of volunteers serving as Teachers and Assistants in our Children’s Ministry, most of whom having no formal teaching training, it was extremely beneficial to have some time together to be guided through the essentials of classroom management in order to establish our own best practices. It was a very unifying and encouraging experience for everyone, as we discussed our challenges, and were given helpful advice as to how to approach various situations. Yolande’s approach was very interactive, instilling her professional knowledge in practical ways. We need to do this again!”
“Yolande encouraged me as a volunteer teacher with her tips and techniques on how to lovingly teach all of our children. I felt more confident and I was excited to get into the classroom and utilize the things that I had learned. I wish the administration at my son’s school would hire her team for their staff’s professional development; there’s so much benefit from it. Can’t wait for her to come back with another presentation!”

"Parents and students alike value Yolande because she cares about education across the board and most specifically cares about the individual. She sees what a child who has constant support can bring to the community and her entire philosophy and approach is based on recognizing each child's strength and gifts. She encourages her students to maximize these strengths and gifts to develop their unique potential. Over the years, this has helped many in overcoming challenges. The results speak for themselves. Mrs. Robinson is to be commended for her relentless passion for child advocacy and the positive change she has brought to many lives in the T.C.I. She is consistently setting the bar higher and pushing as many individuals as possible to reach it."

“I had the opportunity of attending what I consider to be one of the very best facilitator training sessions. Having an instructor in Mrs. Yolande Robinson, that could provide real life examples of what she was imparting to trainees was extremely beneficial. The valuable lessons learnt in team building, addressing group dysfunction, planning and execution amongst so many other critical areas such as dealing with difficult people, has equipped me with the necessary tools to be an effective facilitator. At the completion of the session I felt prepared and confident to conduct a facilitating session.”

" I transitioned to a new life in the Turks and Caicos Islands almost two years ago, and preparation for this started prior to my arrival. I knew I would need continued advice but did not know where it could be obtained. After immersing myself in a new culture with its new demands, I found that I was 'empty' because I was giving my all without 'refilling' myself. I learned about Yolande's coaching and expressed a genuine interest. I have found that her services are exactly what I needed coming from what I started before. Just how to approach life and it's challenges as I get older, while ensuring I'm 'in each moment' has made all the difference."
Tammy Olmstead
"Yolande inspires me weekly to reach for the stars! Her online sessions are engaging and help me channel my personality and my passion into my entrepreneurial endeavors. She goes above and beyond to help moms pursue their passions! She also understands how to help us fit daily essentials into crazy mom life!"
Daniela Carroll
"Having worked with Mrs. Robinson for quite some time, I can truly say that I admire her work ethic and passion for not only teaching and learning, but also, empowering and inspiring up and coming young professionals like myself. She has provided me with unrelenting support and motivation, which makes climbing the professional ladder that much easier and less daunting. The work environment with her is one that breathes change, in that your perspectives and attitudes towards teaching and learning are not the same as when you first began working with her. The environment and support from her encourages you to seek change or improvement in the area you are working in, and encourages you to inspire the same in others."

"A few years ago, I was overwhelmed with the stresses of our morning routine to get our daughter prepared for school. After unsuccessfully trying various approaches on my own, I decided to seek the help of Yolande and Learn & Lead. Yolande’s parental coaching services provided the solutions I was searching for. In less than a week, our morning routine went from being a source of great stress to one of great excitement. We will forever be grateful to Yolande and Learn & Lead for their continued support."
Dorean Williams
"When my son Ethan was about four years old, he was a very hyperactive child and a friend recommended Mrs. Yolande Robinson to me. After the very first two visits, I saw a difference in Ethan’s behavior. Yolande has a very special way with the kids. I love the way she sees each child for their own individuality, the way she nurtures each child, how she focuses on the child’s strengths and work on their weaknesses. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of a child’s educational life. She cares about the success of each child. Thank you so very much for your expertise and your usual attention you gave to my son. I cannot be appreciative enough to Mrs. Yolande Robinson for all she has done in the development in Ethan’s life and her parental coaching.
Over the years I have found Yolande to be so much more than an educator, but more so a friend and a confidant. She is someone that I have confided in about some of my greatest aspirations and my deepest fears. As a single mom, it is not an easy road and there were times that I really needed some parental guidance. She never judged me for not knowing what to do in some very important situations or whatever I was dealing with and I could be brutally honest about my situation at the time. This definitely impressed me from the beginning to the end. She is very confident, very determined, and a great listener! I would like to thank you Yolande for your leadership, your sound advice, your love and your support. You are an amazing role model for all. Your encouraging and loving words to me made a difference in my life."

"We first met Yolande in Grand Turk and learning of her services then, allowed us to jump start our children's learning through these extra one and one session. She worked with our kids, helping and shaping their work loads so it was evenly proportioned. The hands on approach gave them the foundation which is why today, our children continue to Learn and Lead! The future leaders learn from a child how to get ahead in life and her methods work.
Today we can look back over 10 years and say thank you to Yolande Robinson. Don't second guess your children's future, get them into Yolande's programs because they work! And if you don't know her abilities, listen to A Child's Life on RTC FM and get sound free positive parenting advice as to how to prepare your child for tomorrows world, today."

"Yolande is the big sister I never had. I count it a blessing to have met and work alongside her. She is one of the most insightful and selfless persons you will meet. Yolande was my first employer when I returned from University and she has played such an instrumental part in helping me to develop myself as a wife, as a mom and professionally as a teacher. She has given me so many opportunities and she is always pushing me beyond what I think I can do. She consistently challenges me to explore my options and create opportunities for myself professionally. Yolande is the kind of person who makes you believe that you can accomplish anything with the right mindset, and then she gives you the tools to do so.
I admire the fact that she is always seeking to empower, enlighten and inspire at every turn. She has an admirable passion for educating children, women and just people in general. She surrounds herself with positivity and I am forever encouraged and motivated by her unwavering support . She has made me to feel like an integral part of the Learn and Lead family, I sometimes feel like a Robinson too! She is truly exquisite, if you are determined to move mountains and cross oceans, you must have her in your circle!"

During the time I lived and worked in the Turks and Caicos Islands, I had the distinct pleasure and privilege of meeting a colleague and genuine friend, Yolande Robinson. I had the privilege of being a part of the Learn and Lead team in its early days of establishment where I worked as a specialist tutor. I found Yolande to be committed, dedicated, efficient and organized as she delivered a service that truly empowered others through education.
I am very inspired by this woman to say the least and one of her super powers embodies her level of professionalism as she is able to remain calm and serene no matter the varying situations that unfold whether when dealing with colleagues, parents or clients. She has an amazing love for children and for what she does. I always remember and admire Yolande’s ability to think outside of the box and not being afraid to take risks or take on new challenges in order to educate, inspire and motivate those around her.
I found the experience of working with Yolande to be very impactful and as an educator myself, I still use much of what I learnt from her in my own personal and professional life. I still miss that beautiful smile and infectious laugh. I would happily recommend Yolande to anyone seeking a highly creative, driven and competent educator with a most caring approach. When you interact or connect with Yolande, you will never leave empty handed. I cannot speak highly enough of this woman and the wealth of knowledge she has to offer!.
