Yadranka's passion to making a difference in this world is apparent by her continued dedication to learning, teaching, facilitating, and coaching. Yadranka feels very priviledged to have mentored world renowned Bob Proctor, a world leader in personal development. Bob Proctor worked with Lloyd Conant & Earl Nightingale in the late 60's and early 70's, and started his own human resource company. He has written numerous personal development programs and taught them from Asia to America, helping thousands of people to become more successful, along with his list of worldly achievements.

She is continually advancing her training, having graduated with full honors three times now, since her initial certification from the LifeSuccess Productions & Bob Proctor Seminars Faclitations Academy.

She was introduced to Bob Proctor and his seminars in 1997 and decided to study his work on a daily basis. In Feb. 2001 she became a World Class Certified Facilitator and Success Coach being taught by Bob Proctor himself, and his company directors with their outstanding program of excellence.

Now she is honored to be facilitating The Principles of Prosperity, (originally The Science of Getting Rich) and The Goal Achiever; two of the same seminars that Bob Proctor has been teaching through Life Success Productions for over 33 years!

Yadranka is passionate about and understands the importance of this incredibly valuable information and the impact it can make for people to greatly improve their results in life. She has taken the time and dedication to become very knowledgable and certified in teaching it to others.

Gifted to teaching and enhancing the lives of others started when Yadranka had her own dance company at the age of 18. Choreographing routines in ballet, jazz, tap, folk, and break dancing for ages 3 yrs to teens, having as many as 90 students in one year, producing many dance shows for over 10 yrs, taking students to dance competitions, judging in Seaside, Oregon for a USA Dance Competition, and teaching aerobics for adults was the start of her teaching and coaching career.

Her journey to continue teaching started in 1991 when Yadranka became a professional photographer. She moved to Vancouver, B.C. and pursued a new career.

Her talent to see something with her heart and mind, and share that vision with others continued in a new way. It didn't take long before she was teaching others about making their dreams come true, the art of photography and to share the talents she had learned.

Yadranka made her international speaking debut in Nassau, Bahamas in Feb.'97, as she helped the Professional Photographers of Bahamas to have their first Seminar with speakers from Canada and the USA, and became an Honorary Life Member.

She also had speaking engagements in various cities throughout the province of B.C., and Regina, Saskatchewan at their provincial seminar, sharing her passion about life, photography, and inspiring others to aspire to excellence.

She served on the Provincial B.C. Association Board of Directors for a term of 4 years, and was the Chairman for "The Edge'97", the Annual Provincial Seminar, in Vancouver for 4 days in April'97 with an attendance of over 250.

In March 1994 she opened her first photographic sutdio in downtown Vancouver, and within 8 years had the experience of working with a much larger studio and then a gallery. Now realizing and living her ultimate dream, Yadranka loves to travel and create images for clients throughout the world internationally by coming to them anywhere they may live, providing them with personal service, and a window to their desires, with her talents at their doorstep.

Yadranka has travelled as a professional photographic artist to such places as Sydney & Adelaide, Australia; Beijing, China; Europe; Nassau, Bahamas; Mexico; Grand Canyon, Arizona; New York, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA; Montreal, Quebec, Canada; throughout B.C.; to photograph beautiful images for her clients, and to create incredible lifestyle and scenic images for art decor prints, and beautifully presented slide presentations for her speaking engagements.

Yadranka is gifted in writing inspirational poetry, another talent she shares with others besides the numerous articles she has written for the Provincial(PPABC) and National(PPOC) Photographic Association magazines.

Yadranka has inspired many with her many beautiful slide presentations to music.

Her pride is in creating Photographic Paintings as works of art on canvas, or watercolor prints, with nature's outdoor beauty for many clients throughout the world.

Her love for her teenage daughters Kimberly and Kelly is absolutely heart-warming as they are very close to her, and the most important part of her life.

Yadranka has been proud to have Kimberly assist her, and being requested by her clients to do so at the age of 13 yrs! Their love and support has given her the strength to create the vision she has in her life and her desire to help make the world even better any way she possibly can, because of being blessed as a mom.
