Pam Heath, the YES Coach, that's me! Life has certainly been compelling over the last year and a half. There I was, a successful entrepreneur, coaching entrepreneurs who, like me, were committed to making a living and scaling their business to revenue heights. Then whamo! COVID-19. We had a pandemic on our hands and folks were running around like crazed people from that little globe world from MEN IN BLACK! So what's a storyteller to do? Smack dab in the middle of an unprecented global pandemic, with folks dropping like flies and people panicked and home bound in mandatory quarantine, I wrote a motivating book about my coaching process and how I came to start YES Coaching and the pathway to becoming the YES Coach. I had to do SOMETHING. My current clients melted away - most of them self-employed like me with income screeching to a stop, I was existing on unemployment and food stamps and sat down at my computer to write a book because I had time on my hands. My intention was to write a book bursting with action steps to help people create magic in their lives, no matter the circumstance. I was literally living the solution as I did what everyone was chanting at the time - PIVOT- and switched my modality to virtual and digital. I became a Zoom Queen.

I'm a Life Coach, Marketing and Business Strategist, Motivational Speaker, and now a best-selling author. I work with small business entrepreneurs to brand themselves and market that brand to lead themselves to higher profits. Conscious professionals hire me to help them eliminate permanently their limiting belief systems so they can make more money and live their dream life.

My expertise was in branding and team management and I was making a living as a coach which was a delight after five years of building my coaching company. The story of my life and the creation of YES Coaching is a story of tragedy to triumph, launching my encouraging book amidst a global pandemic sharing my inspirational and practical advice to teach the masses how to achieve the life of their dreams. I poured my life and soul into writing this book, sharing my struggle with life circumstances that challenge the human spirit. In the face of these circumstances, I was unstoppable, reaching success in entrepreneurship, and I now guide and coach others to do the same. My life-transforming experiences are illustrated in this book and my desire is that it will help individuals triumph over their life challenges utilizing my simple action-oriented process that starts with one word – YES. Whatever you may want in life, wherever you want to go – you can go there. You can have it if you’re willing to take it on like it’s a done deal and say the magic word YES.

I was able to manifest my dream home, car and job. I was dating a man 27 years my junior who thought the sun rose and set for my pleasure. My life WORKED. I was so happy and fulfilled! Then disaster struck and blind-sided me. In 2007, my oldest child, who was 30-years-old at the time, committed suicide. I was devastated and could barely function as I buried my child. The domino effect started. I lost my job, and no job, no paying my mortgage. Gone was the dream house. No paying my car note. Gone was the dream car. Lost the young stud who decided he didn't want to be in a relationship with me and chose to be gay. I had lost the proverbial "all" that everyone strives for. Gone.

I lived in my son's car for 8 months. I couldn't live in my car because it was repossessed. I even wrote a chapter in my book giving advice about how to live in your car! I learned street life and how to live responsibly on the curb.

My book is motivating and inspiring with a practical process that can be applied immediately. It contains encouraging messages intended for each and every that serves as a driving force – or, as I like to say, your ‘GPS to outrageous success.’

More than affirmations and visualization, this book has real-life applications and practical actions for seven specific areas of life for individuals to tackle to get to the life they dream of, hope for, and long to achieve. My mastery is in contributing and making a difference in people’s lives. Despite all obstacles, I fought back and rose from the ashes of loss, turning tragedy into one of the most inspiring works ever written. Success is sweet when you fight the good fight and WIN! “It doesn’t matter how old you are, your race, or your life experience, anyone can have joy and live the life of their dreams.

I love life and I love contributing to others and my book Say YES! is the culmination of a life worth sharing and this storyteller is ready to tell the world to SAY YES!
