Yancey Unequivocally

Bio

At a very young age, Yancey got emancipated because her father passed away from lung cancer and her mother chose to hide her pain with alcohol. Something inside of her (she now knows that something is: FAITH) guided her to do all that she could do in life; achieve anything and everything her heart desired. She thought by working hard and going to school was great until it hit her. She knew she didn’t want to work at a casino that rest of her life, nor stay in Mississippi (where she is originally from). Since her boyfriend at the time was her high school sweetheart, they decided to get married. He was an Army soldier and later they were stationed in Hawaii. Yancey was always told to go to school to get a good job, so she went to college. She received numerous scholarships to help her on her journey. After graduating with a B.S. in Management Information Systems, Yancey moved on to get an MBA in Network Security. Yancey worked as a government contractor in Hawaii for 4 years. After reading many business books, personal development, and investing in herself, she realized she was not living passionately, nor congruent with her purpose. She was trading time for dollars and quickly noticed that success and achievement would not be reached nor her goals and dreams by age 40, let alone by age 65. After just 3 months of surrounding herself with mentors, coaches, and people smarter than her, she was able to quit her 9-5 job, and buy her first home in Hawaii at age 25. Yancey has served on Board of Directors in many organizations, Member of FAMES, Served as Chapter President for BNI, Member of Toastmasters, featured in Success From Home Magazine in September 2008, and featured in Performance Magazine as a leader in entrepreneurship. She was also featured as the cover story of Pacific Business News in March 2009 because of her unique last name and entrepreneur story. She was selected to be the youngest mentor for the NAWBO organization to coach other business owners on many different aspects in business and in life. Being the Youngest Mentor, Yancey quickly had to learn about certainty and empowerment to lead other phenomenal businesswomen. She owns her own company, Empowered Presentations, with a very congruent life purpose. In December 2010, just after launching the business, they won the World’s Best Presentation contest from slideshare.net sponsored by 3M. Empowered Presentations is also the front-page feature story in Pacific News Bytes Summer 2011, a Local Hawaii Technology Magazine. Her company also serves TedxHonolulu where Yancey is on the Executive Board. Yancey is also a nomination for “40 Under 40” and “Best New Business.” Her company has also been written about on Forbes.com and InDezine.com. Yancey has spoken at many events and trained on stages with over 1,500 in attendance. She has also been a guest to speak on many WebCast shows all over the world. Yancey is a true leader in her community, serves her church ministries, and is enthusiastic to help people achieve anything and everything they desire!
