About
Transform Challenges Into Opportunities With My Proven Creative Strategies.
I’m Yvette Dubel, an Artist-Researcher, Personal Innovation Mentor, and CEO of Empowered Innovation CFAaP LLC. With over two decades of experience in program development and strategy consulting, I specialize in leveraging art-based solutions to drive personal innovation and address complex challenges.
My journey began in the late 1990s with the publication of “Cultural Diversity” in Home Education Magazine, reflecting my commitment to progressive education and diversity. Concurrently, I collaborated with organizations like the International Free Open Source Solutions Foundation (iFOSSF) and the Hawthorn Research Institute, developing open-source collaboration models that emphasize inclusion and innovation.
I’m also a proud wife and mother of three adult children, whose progressive homeschooling journey inspired my passion for fostering creativity and innovation in others. These experiences taught me the importance of adaptability, personal growth, and empowering individuals to unlock their unique potential—principles that continue to shape my work today.
In 2022, I became a certified Micro-Habits Laser Coach and Artful Living Coach in 2023, further enhancing my ability to empower clients through small, impactful changes. As the founder of the Empowered Innovation Alliance, I am dedicated to validating social innovation models that integrate creativity with strategic action.
Through creative analysis and actionable strategies, I help clients and organizations achieve meaningful transformation, enhance productivity, and foster inclusive growth. Whether it’s through my Micro-Habits Coaching, Creative Catalyst Coaching, or Reimagine Success Workshops, my mission is to empower individuals and teams to thrive.
