Founder | Womaneuvers

Barbara-Ann Yates is a dynamic speaker, consultant and mentor to women in business. Leveraging her real life experiences, she created Womaneuvers®, tactical and practical tools to help women maneuver successfully across the corporate chessboard.

By implementing Womaneuvers, women learn to lead by example, separate themselves from the pack and position themselves for advancement and proper compensation.

Barbara-Ann successfully transformed her career from education to the corporate world by repeating her mantra: “If you don’t know it, you can’t own it. If you don’t own it, you can’t communicate it. If you don’t communicate it, you can’t promote it.” She ignites the inner courage in women to take bold steps to achieve career success and compensation.

Prior to starting Yates Associates, Barbara-Ann enjoyed a successful career as an advisor to multi-million dollar companies as well as an information security consultant to government agencies on the design, management and implementation of high-level information security systems. As an expert in strategic management and team leadership, Barbara-Ann built top performing engineering teams comprised of both men and women by mentoring each member to achieve the highest recognition, which lead to increased compensation and promotions.
