GET TO KNOW ME!
Hello, I’m Yinlayefa Thompson!
I am a professional human resource practitioner, with international certification and over a decade of active practice assisting individuals and organizations to realize their greatest potential. As an SPHRi and MHRAP-certified professional, my career journey has been driven by a central realization: Everything is not meant for everyone, and true success is in knowing self, purpose, and mission. This knowledge is the foundation of my actions, so to speak.
No matter whether I am advising an organization to obtain the greatest worth from its human capital personnel or assisting individuals come to terms with their potential, I strive to achieve meaningful and lasting change. As an HR Consultant, Career & Life Coach, and Employee/Employer Brand development professional, my methodology is applicable, unconventional, evidence-based, and outcome-oriented.
MY MISSION
My Mission Is Simple
To assist individuals and organizations in finding out who they truly are, so that they can create meaningful and prosperous professional and organizational lives. In this sense, through the concept of authenticity I help the professionals and the organizations they represent to embrace the idea of becoming what they need to be, thus creating the environment in which growth and meaningful interactions are the natural outcomes.

TRANSFORMATIVE FRAMEWORK
Signature Framework: The RED Model
My approach to career coaching, HR consulting, and branding is built on a foundational framework I developed, known as the RED Model. RED stands for Rationale, Execution, and Denouement—a structured yet flexible approach that empowers clients to align their actions with authentic goals, navigate challenges effectively, and achieve fulfilling, lasting outcomes.
Rationale
It goes without saying that every success starts with some sort of definition. Here, we look beyond “what” you want to achieve, with a focus on “why” in terms of personal values or organizational missions and visions. By defining a strong rationale, we ensure that each step you take aligns with a meaningful purpose.
Execution
Here’s where planning turns into action. We take your goals and make them into realistic and manageable tasks – incorporating a range of strategies that are best suited to your situation, whether you’re an individual or an organization, this stage is about building momentum, staying adaptable, and consistently taking steps toward your goals.
Denouement
In the final stage, we reach the point where your authentic value becomes clear to you and those around you. This is the moment when your efforts culminate in results that resonate—opportunities, career growth, or team alignment—revealing your true potential and attracting the right partnerships or career moves.
