Lead the change—not the checklist.
We partner with mission-driven leaders to turn stalled initiatives into aligned action, so your bold ideas don’t die in the backlog.
You didn’t sign up to be the bottleneck.
You’re the one who sees the bigger picture.
The one everyone looks to when the mission feels messy, the calendar’s packed, and progress stalls out—again.
And yet…
You’re still the one keeping track of who’s doing what
Still wondering if this initiative will ever get out of the planning stage
Still watching team energy drip away while everyone waits for a greenlight
You're not alone. And you’re not crazy for wanting more.
You’re the kind of leader who’s too valuable to spend your days in task traffic.
You want shared ownership, strategic support, and momentum that lasts.
Welcome to Yazdani Consulting.
This is where clarity meets calm — and execution finally matches your vision.
Let’s get one thing straight:
I’m not here to track your tasks.
I’m Jami Yazdani, and mission-driven leaders work with me to transform the way their teams execute.
Whether I’m leading your project myself or equipping your team with the tools and training to do it confidently, I turn overwhelm into clear, collaborative action. You don’t need another “taskmaster.” You need a strategic partner who brings structure, calm, and real progress—fast.
With 20+ years of leadership experience in higher ed, libraries, and nonprofits, I’ve run over 100 initiatives and trained thousands of changemakers to move ideas into action. Through my Clarity to Action Framework, I help you lead boldly, even when complexity looms.

From Chaos to Clarity in 3 Steps
1 | Start with Clarity
We kick off with a paid Clarity to Action Planning session designed to bring focus fast—no fluff, no filler. Just a clear, customized path forward.
2 | Co-Design the Execution Plan
Using our Clarity to Action Framework, we craft a project roadmap with shared ownership built in—so your team moves together, not in circles.
3 | Lead with Calm Confidence
You walk away with aligned teams, activated plans, and strategic support that helps you lead without burnout or bottlenecks.
“Yazdani Consulting’s expertise and support in project management, people management, and facilitation significantly increased the quality of the deliverables and the enjoyment of the team in doing the work.”

Let’s be real
•
Let’s be real •
Execution isn’t always elegant
but leadership can still feel grounded, calm, and human.
Here’s a peek at how I show up behind the scenes…
Morning ritual?
Coffee with my husband. It’s how I start every day centered—before stepping into the complexity.
Work Style?
Sticky notes and whiteboards for big thinking. Spreadsheets and extra cords for getting it done. I believe in structure and flow.
My Desk?
A photo of the Muppets—because progress takes teamwork, humor, and a little bit of managed chaos.
Clients say I’m…
Calm. Adaptable. Strategic without being rigid. I show up steady, especially when things feel messy.
When I feel overwhelmed?
I find one small thing I can move forward. It’s amazing how much clarity that brings.
What I don’t believe in:
That leaders can skip the execution
That a good idea doesn’t need a plan
That leadership is something you’re just born with
Favorite leadership quote?
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” Kindness + clarity = powerful leadership.
Favorite compliment I’ve received?
That a leadership program I facilitated was “the most valuable development experience” of their career.
That one means everything.
