Visionary leadership along with passion and commitment are instrumental to company’s success. Yvette Bethel is a Global Thought Leader in Trust by Trust Across America and, Trust Around the World. Also, she is the Organizer of Organizational Soul and, having served in a Fortune 500 company for 20 years, took a brave leap to become an entrepreneur. In corporate life, Yvette oversaw Human Resources for eight countries and gained experience in how to tailor organizational change plans. She has been consulting for the last 18 years, working with leaders to see organizations as living systems to facilitate adaptability, trust, and well-being in workplaces.
Throughout her working years, Yvette had seen how work relationships were formed through agendas, power, and loyalty and produced cultural values such as inclusion, performance, and creativity as habits. Considering this view, she defined “The Games People Play at Work” with the aim of considering highly politicized cultures to be dysfunctional systems. She created the Interconnectivity, Flow, and Balance (IFB) system, based on trust, in order to build strong organizational culture. She explains trust to be at the core of creating team agility and development, and it’s established in the lexicon of three fundamental competencies: integrity, emotional intelligence, and sharing a “We” mind. Her work circles around keeping trust and relationship together in solving organizational problems and having sustainable change.
Yvette has been recognized multiple times by Trust by Trust Across America and Thinkers360 for her contributions for thought leadership in the areas of Ecosystem, Change and Culture. Looking back, Bethel says, “When trust is strengthened, unpredictable benefits emerge, alongside the expected ones. Connecting with what truly matters can transform everything.” Since she started her book, Interconnectivity, Flow, and Balance, in 2012, Yvette has seen more acknowledgment of organizations as ecosystems. She invites leaders to embrace trust deficits and root causes for long-term change, starting with trust and using IFB principles.
Recognized by CIO Look as One of the Women Influencers Redefining Cultural Paradigms in 2024, Yvette Bethel’s journey from a corporate leader to an entrepreneur highlights her unwavering commitment to reshaping organizational culture through trust and interconnected systems.
