Awareness Intelligence™, Embodied Presence, and Use of Self Skills

“Dorothy is a master—elegant, simple, provocative, deep and fully present to the moment and the opportunities at hand. Our leadership team gathers for a retreat and new learning each winter and last year we spent two magical days with Dorothy. Each leader on the team spends so much time teaching, coaching and consulting with individuals, teams, and larger scale organizations—the power of our presence in the months to come was profoundly impacted through our work with Dorothy—what a gift to any leader!”
— Pam McLean, PhD | CEO, The Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara

 

“My team came together to do some group work with Dorothy. I have to say that Dorothy’s skill at holding a group, facilitating their journey through areas of both business and personal lives and gently, yet firmly, moving everyone forward was nothing short of awesome. As an NLP Trainer, I’m used to elegant language and building effective relationships with groups – this lady is a true Master of both. What can I say? If you ever get the chance to work with Dorothy, grab it with both hands – in fact, I strongly urge people to MAKE the chance to work with her. You will never regret one minute of it!”
— Ralph Watson | Founder and Principal Consultant, Dynamic Communication Ltd., Rugby, England
