The Threshold You’re Standing At
You’ve done what you were told would make you successful. You’ve built the life, the career, the reputation. But somewhere along the way, a quiet voice has started asking: Is this all there is? Is this all of me?
If you’re navigating a transition—one that’s internal, external, or both—you’re not alone. I work with leaders just like you: ambitious, wise, high-functioning… and ready for more. Not more to do, but more alignment. More self-trust. More truth in how you lead, live, and love.
This is where your next season begins. And it starts within.
MEET YOUR GUIDE
I’m Dori Klass, MBA, PCC—coach, mentor, and sacred space holder for leaders navigating the space between what was and what’s next.
Before this, I spent over two decades in senior leadership at global companies like Abbott Laboratories and Dow Chemical. I held roles in sales, strategic planning, M&A integration, and executive marketing leadership. I earned my Executive MBA with High Honors. I was selected as a high-potential leader in Abbott’s prestigious Leadership Development Program.
That part of my story matters—because I know your world. I know the pressure, the ambition, the stakes. I speak your language. But I also know what happens when external success isn’t matched by internal clarity. I’ve walked that edge, too.
FROM GRIEF TO CLARITY
This work isn’t just professional for me,
it’s personal.
This isn’t just coaching. It’s a return to self. And it’s the most important work I know.
Years ago, I lost my sister. She died having never fully lived; having silenced her voice, abandoned her needs, and stayed in spaces that asked her to shrink. Her passing was my wake-up call. In that moment, I made a decision:
I didn’t want to just be alive. I wanted to live. Fully. Deeply. Authentically.
It was that threshold—grief and awakening held in the same breath—that began my own journey back to self. I stepped away from a high-powered corporate career not because I failed, but because I was ready to redefine success, to stop performing and start aligning.
That decision eventually became the work I do now. I coach from that place. From the knowledge that time is precious, alignment is sacred, and the cost of self-abandonment is too high. I work with leaders who, like me, have spent years doing everything “right” and are now ready to do what’s true.
FROM EARLY ADOPTER TO TRUSTED GUIDE
I didn’t stumble into coaching
—I practiced it before it had a name.
During my 20+ years in corporate leadership, I was already creating space for truth-telling, listening for what wasn’t being said, and helping people reconnect with their values, long before “coaching” became a leadership trend. I introduced coaching principles into boardrooms and team dynamics at a time when performance was prized over presence. I saw how transformation really happened—not through command-and-control, but through conversation, reflection, and the courage to look within.
When I eventually left corporate, I didn’t leave leadership behind—I brought it with me and expanded it. I deepened my training with the world’s best: CPCC, PCC, dreamwork, voice dialogue, Human Design, productive tension, family systems, the Enneagram, and more. I became fluent in both the language of business and the language of the soul.
What makes my work different is where I meet you: at the intersection of the personal, professional, practical, and spiritual. I bring structure, yes, but also symbolism. Data and depth. Insight and intuition. And the willingness to name what others might avoid, in service of who you’re here to become.
THE APPROACH:
A Sacred, Structured Path to Self-Mastery
Transformation is not a checklist—it’s a layered, cyclical process rooted in courage, compassion, and conscious choice. My approach is designed to walk with you through the unfolding of who you are becoming, not just what you’re achieving.
At the heart of this work is my signature coaching journey: Whole Person | Whole Power™, a multi-year experience that guides clients through the evolution of self-awareness, self-leadership, and self-mastery—personally, professionally, practically, and spiritually.
This journey is grounded in my proprietary
9 P’s Framework for True Self-Leadership & Self-Mastery
which acts as both a compass and a container.
SELF-AWARENESS (BEING)
SELF-LEADERSHIP (RELATING)
PREPARATION
PERMISSION
PARTS
PRESENCE
PERSPECTIVE
PURPOSE
SELF-MASTERY (DOING)
POWER
PLAY
PROSPER
Each “P” marks a vital stage of inner growth—from the first spark of awareness to the embodied wisdom that enables sustainable, soulful leadership.
This isn’t about fixing or optimizing yourself. It’s about remembering who you are and shedding what no longer serves. It’s about cultivating a vital inner life that informs and transforms the way you lead, relate, and live.
And while this work is structured and intentional, it is also deeply mythic. I draw from sacred stories, archetypes, and metaphors, helping clients see themselves inside ancient patterns that still speak today. Whether we’re exploring the wisdom of Athena, Artemis, or Hestia—or uncovering your own lived myths—we’re not just solving problems. We’re reclaiming narrative. We’re restoring wholeness.
This is the intersection where the soulful meets the strategic. It’s where structure supports surrender. It’s where your leadership becomes an act of integration, not performance.
My Role in Your Journey
I don’t stand above you. I walk beside you.
I challenge and champion my clients. I hold space for the messy middle, the powerful becoming, the remembering of who you truly are. I help you close the gap between the leader the world sees—and the one your soul knows you to be.
If you’re ready to reclaim your voice, your power, and your wholeness, you’re in the right place.
