A Weekend of Learning and a Day of Recognition

YES Institute recently hosted our flagship Communication Solutions™ workshop, bringing together participants ready to transform the way they show up in their relationships and conversations.

One participant shared that the course gave them “a great new framework centered around authenticity, graciousness, and genuine listening in communication” that they didn’t have before. Another described how the experience “taught us how to be human first, and knowing that we can navigate the hard moments and still have the tools to find win/win solutions.”

We are grateful to every participant who brought their full selves to the class this weekend. If you missed this session, Communication Solutions™ returns Sat, Sept. 19 to Sun, Sept. 20, 2026. And if you’re looking to build your communication skills before then, join us for Communication Toolbox on Saturday, July 25, 2026, on Zoom, offering equally powerful tools for showing up fully in every conversation.

In addition, YES Institute is honored to share that Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine-Cava and the Board of County Commissioners proclaimed June 3, 2026, as YES Institute Day, in recognition of 30 years of service to South Florida. Commissioner Marleine Bastien, District 2, presented the proclamation to Executive Director Joseph Zolobczuk at the Miami-Dade County PRIDE Kickoff Event on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. This recognition deeply moves us, and we are grateful to the Miami-Dade LGBTQIA+ Advisory Board for making it possible.
