I’ve worked with a wide range of organizations navigating leadership pressure, organizational change, and complex stakeholder environments. My work often occurs during moments of transition—when alignment, judgment, and leadership stability are essential to performance and long-term outcomes.

Engagements span founder-led, family-owned, institutional, and mission-driven organizations across construction, healthcare, education, and civic systems.

ENDORSEMENTS

"Adele delivered exactly what our Nurse Practitioners needed — a moment to breathe, reflect, and reconnect to why we do what we do. Her keynote on resilience was powerful, grounded, and deeply heartfelt. You could feel the shift in the room as she guided us back to our own center. One of the most impactful sessions we’ve hosted in years."

  • Rosemary Castillo, President, California Association of Nurse Practitioners

​

“Working with Adele and her Yinovate team has made us better in every category we hold dear. She strikes the perfect balance — direct and bold, yet patient and deeply empathetic. Adele helped us see what we couldn’t see on our own, guided us to real solutions, and held us accountable in the best way possible. Of all the investments I’ve made in my career, this has been one of the most valuable. I’m filled with gratitude.”  

  • Dusty Sterling, EVP Operations, Beaver Excavating

“Adele was brought in to help identify leadership team challenges, as well as to guide and direct our conversations into the formulation of high-performance processes that we could conform and adapt to as a group.  Her expertise in clarifying what we needed to focus on to stay on track was invaluable.  Adele employs a very genuine  'warm and strict' approach that inculcates institutional mission into every discussion.  This approach resonated with our thought leaders without anyone feeling reduced in any way.  We have been able to model positive behavior back with empowerment.  Adele's guidance has been vital to the restructuring of team function and has greatly improved our effectiveness as a group.  I would enthusiastically recommend Adele as a talented architect of high team performance.  She is a true pleasure to work with.”

  • Susan Ertle, Executive Director, Friends of Breakthrough Schools​
