“Dori is one of the most intuitive persons I have ever met or with whom I have worked. That quality combined with her uncanny ability to ‘see’ behind surface issues to the heart and bone of the matter are some of the many reasons Dori has been my coach for more than 18 years. She is completely committed to the indirect method of coaching; that is, she holds that questions are at the center of all coaching. Rarely, and only with my permission, does she offer advice or counsel. This trait is crucial to effective coaching and truly empowering to me as her client. In addition, Dori is completely open to trying any technique that is in service of moving me more deeply into action and/or learning. Dori’s signature coaching work, I believe, is with respect to her narrative technique used to mine for core values; she ‘invented’ the technique and it has proven to be one of the most impactful, important, and useful processes with which I am familiar. Finally – and I wish there were a more expressive word than this – Dori is such a giving coach. By that I mean, when she is coaching, she is completely in service to her client. I am delighted and honored to recommend Dori as coach cum laude to any client, executive, or other level. She is first ‘klass’ in every respect.”

“When working with Dori, I experienced masterful coaching. Dori used her heart and power in equal measure to ensure that I came into conscious awareness of who I was really being so that I could consciously step into who I wanted to be, from a place of awareness, seeing, and choice. It takes so much love and heart-first presence to create that level of safety and trust. It took power and courage for Dori to pierce through the many layers I had in place to try and hide from my true self and to hold me to be my Whole Self. Too much heart and there is no growth. Too much piercing and there isn’t safety. I’ve never seen anyone so masterfully hold both at the same time. Dori listens to a level that is sacred, intuitive, and incredibly present. I feel I have been seen and understood in a way I had never experienced prior and that has allowed me to become more honest, clear, and vulnerable with myself about who I really am and what I really want. It was ultimately freeing and an experience in freedom. It was a tremendous process. Dori’s programs and coaching are gifts that she gives to her clients.” 

“I have found great help in Dori’s significant, vast, and relevant knowledge – whether it be books, articles or tools to help me look at my life from another perspective, she keeps offering more and taking me deeper. I feel such compassion from Dori, and I feel so cared for, which helps me to trust, be more open and vulnerable. It has been so helpful when Dori reflects back what I’ve said to her, while bringing awareness to the words I’ve chosen and how I say things, or to the changes in my voice or energy, which helps me to see through another lens and step into new perspectives that serve. This perspective shifting has been so affirming and empowering. Our coaching partnership has truly helped me to soften, to be kinder to myself and to deepen my experiences of life, as a woman, a mother, a professional and a budding coach. I am facing a lot of significant transitions and Dori is helping me to navigate these with more compassion, presence and skill. Each coaching session with Dori has brought me a significant shift. I would recommend Dori to anyone I know with certainty! And I would tell them that coaching with Dori is the best investment I have ever made for myself.”
