Hi, I’m MAria yiannitsarakos
Strategic Advisor, Decision Architect and Creator of the Algorithm of Yes ™. Forged through 25+ years of high-stakes dealmaking as a New York City attorney.
I grew up in a home where life was unpredictable and nothing was guaranteed. That reality taught me to create my own choices and decide for myself early.
We create the yes. We Decide.
“First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do” Epictetus
I decided who I wanted to be; my highest self. I decided what my standards were; my values and what was not acceptable.
It’s why I became an attorney. For over 25 years I negotiated high-stakes deals in New York City owning rooms I wasn’t “supposed” to walk into. Those rooms sharpened my understanding of how identity, language, and psychology determine every outcome.
That’s where The Algorithm of Yes™ was born. My philosophy and frameworks that get you to yes internally and externally.
We might not control the world, but…. Identity creates leverage. Standards remove chaos. Yes moves the world forward. Decisions create freedom.
Today, I work with leaders, founders and high-performers who operate in high-stakes environments where indecision is expensive and getting to yes is not optional. They come to me when decisions and outcomes matter.
And beneath it all, I’m a wife and a mother of three; roles that remind me every day why identity, choice, and freedom matter.
