executive support
tailored to your needs.
Australian based support for modern leaders who value excellence, efficiency, and trust.
Our Y…
The Y Principle was born from a simple idea; doing great work with great people. And “Y” happened to be Yvette’s nickname which turned into a style and way of working that encompassed trust and professionalism.
“After years supporting executive teams in large organisations, I realised the value of trusted partnerships doesn’t have to end when someone moves on. The calls for advice, strategy, or “that thing you used to do so well” sparked an idea: a way to continue providing high-level executive and operational support, flexibly and personally.”
Today, The Y Principle partners with leaders who want structure and calm behind the scenes. We may not be in the office every day, but we’re always invested in helping you work smarter, lead better, and grow with confidence.

What Our Clients Say
“Yvette and her team at the Y Principle came on board with us at a critical time of change within our team. They were able to not only streamline our travel processes but show us best practice methods to maximise our spend and flexibility when it came to constantly changing travel commitments. We are so glad we invested our time and money in engaging The Y Principle now and into the future.”
— Stephanie Hudson, Director
“I feel like our regular catch-ups and you saying, “I don't want you spending a lot of time sorting this; let's find a better way”, means our time together is incredibly productive and is a load off my mind.”
— Kylee Dare, Leadership Coach
