About

Jami Yazdani understands that the biggest challenge leaders face isn't a lack of skill, but a lack of clarity. With over 20 years of experience leading teams in higher education, libraries, nonprofits, and corporate spaces, she has seen firsthand how clear, collaborative plans can transform projects. Overwhelm turns into calm focus, hesitation gives way to confident ownership, and teams don’t just finish projects—they grow stronger together.

This belief is the foundation of her work and the reason she founded Yazdani Consulting and Facilitation. As a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and creator of the Clarity to Action Framework, Jami gives leaders the tools to guide with steadiness and teams the structure to thrive. Her approach moves beyond simple task management to focus on leadership, ownership, and calm, empowering mission-driven organizations to solve their most pressing management problems.
