About YoLi
BUSINESS LEADER. ENTREPRENEUR.
CREATIVE STRATEGIST.
RELATIONSHIP BUILDER.
For more than 25 years, Yoli De La Mora has built businesses, led teams, cultivated client and vendor relationships, and created memorable experiences at the intersection of design, hospitality, events and lifestyle.
Her career began in interior design and décor, where she developed an eye for detail and an ability to listen closely, understand a client’s vision and translate it into an experience. That foundation became central to the way she approaches business today: understand the client, build the relationship, create the vision and deliver beyond expectation.
BUSINESS LEADERSHIP & ENTREPRENEURSHIP
An entrepreneur for much of her career, Yoli has owned and managed six brick-and-mortar businesses, including three art studios, an interior design space and two home décor stores.
Running her own companies gave her hands-on leadership experience across the full scope of business operations, including sales, business development, client acquisition and retention, team leadership, vendor relationships, merchandising, marketing, customer experience and day-to-day operations.
Her entrepreneurial experience later expanded into national retail when her company became a Walmart supplier in 2022.
Across each venture, Yoli developed a leadership style grounded in high expectations, strong relationships, creative problem-solving and an unwavering commitment to the client experience.
SALES, HOSPITALITY & EVENTS
Yoli’s work in Miami’s event industry brought together many of the disciplines that had already defined her career: sales, operations, design, hospitality and relationship development.
As founder of Toast & Kiss, her Miami-based event planning and design company, Yoli worked with clients, venues and creative partners to plan, design and produce events throughout the South Florida market.
It was through Toast & Kiss that an unexpected leadership opportunity emerged.
While visiting Villa Paula, Miami’s historic former Cuban Consulate building, to consider the venue for a client event, Yoli was offered the opportunity to become its Director.
In that role, she assumed responsibility for the venue’s overall operations, including sales and bookings, client relationships, vendor development and partnerships, event coordination, and the day-to-day management of the property as an event venue.
The position allowed Yoli to bring an unusual perspective to venue leadership: she understood the business from both sides of the relationship—as an event professional selecting venues on behalf of clients and as the person responsible for selling, operating and growing one.
Through Toast & Kiss and her work within Miami’s event community, Yoli developed an extensive network of relationships with clients, venues and creative professionals. Her work and entrepreneurial journey have also been featured by online publications covering Miami’s event, lifestyle and business communities.
For Yoli, successful sales have never been simply transactional.
Her approach is relationship-driven and consultative: listen carefully, discover what matters to the client, understand the desired outcome, communicate a compelling vision, and bring together the people and resources necessary to deliver it. That philosophy has followed her throughout her career—from selling design and décor to operating retail businesses, representing an event venue and producing experiences for private clients.
LEADERSHIP THROUGH PEOPLE
One of the most consistent threads throughout Yoli’s career has been her ability to develop relationships—and develop people.
Her business leadership experience eventually expanded into professional coaching, training and education. As a Senior Trainer for an ICF-approved coaching organization, Yoli trained and supported professionals pursuing professional coaching development.
She has also coached professionals internationally, working with individuals throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Egypt and India.
Her experience as a trainer and professional coach strengthened skills already central to her years in business: communication, accountability, motivation, active listening, conflict navigation, team development and helping people perform at a higher level.
Whether leading a business, working with a client, collaborating with vendors or developing professionals, Yoli believes effective leadership begins with understanding people—and that strong relationships create stronger results.
EXPERIENCE MEETS CREATIVITY
Yoli studied at Harrington College of Design and Yale Online Business School and has continued her professional education throughout her career.
Her training and certifications span business planning, event and party planning, etiquette, communications, executive and business coaching, professional development and related disciplines.
The industries and titles have evolved over the course of her career, but the foundation has remained remarkably consistent:
People. Relationships. Creativity. Leadership. Exceptional experiences. Results.
Today, Yoli brings those elements together with more than two decades of entrepreneurial and leadership experience—and a genuine love of creating momentum for the clients, businesses and people she serves.
“I love nothing more than exceeding my clients’ expectations. Seeing them happy and gaining momentum makes my heart happy.”
BEYOND BUSINESS
Beyond her professional work, Yoli is a writer, wife, mother, grandmother and lifelong creative.
She loves writing, cooking, gardening, beautiful spaces and bringing people together. Whether she’s building a business, creating an event, designing an experience or gathering people around a table, her instinct has always been the same:
Create something people remember.
