Truth-telling.
Story-weaving.
Soul-stirring.

I don’t just give talks. I hold space—space for insight, honesty, and breakthrough.


Whether I’m keynoting a conference, leading an intimate circle, or guiding a team through a hard conversation, I bring the same presence: grounded, compassionate, and catalytic.

I speak to ambitious leaders and growing organizations who are hungry for something deeper. My audiences walk away with more than inspiration—they leave with a new framework for how they see themselves, their work, and what’s next.

Because the best talks don’t just inform. They transform.

How I Speak

I work closely with every organization to tailor my talks to your unique context, audience, and goals.

Available Formats Include:

  • High-impact, story-driven talks to open or anchor your event.

  • Practical and personal, designed for deep engagement.

  • Short-form, interactive talks that invite reflection and conversation.

  • Experiential sessions for deeper integration and learning.

Signature Speaking Topics

Below are a few of the most requested topics. Each can be customized based on audience type and event setting.

  • An invitation to explore the journey from self-awareness to self-mastery—and how true leadership begins from within.

  • A call to integrate the personal, professional, practical, and spiritual dimensions of leadership for deeper impact and fulfillment.

  • Why alignment between inner truth and outer presence is essential—and how to close the gap.

  • Using story, metaphor, and myth to help leaders reframe their challenges and reclaim their voice.

  • Supporting individuals and organizations as they navigate growth, change, and reinvention with intention.

  • How leaders at every level can foster emotional safety, deep connection, and meaningful growth in their teams.

What Audiences Say

  • “Dori encourages you to take everything she teaches and make it your own. At first, that felt strange to me, and I wondered if she really meant it. But she’d push me - all of us - to do just that. She’d say, “Try it, post this on the wall in your kitchen (at work and at home), teach people what you’ve learned here, tell them you want to play with it, and practice together, and let them roll their eyes and tease you for a while. Before you know it, you’ll begin expecting it from each other, looking forward to it, building relationships and sharing successes with the support of these vital interpersonal tools and skills.” And that was true. Oh, and she’d also say, “Have fun with this!” It really has been fun. Instead of feeling self-conscious about not getting it right all the time, we give ourselves and one another grace, we laugh (and sometimes cry) and keep going. It’s been a source of bonding. This is what helps us feel stronger both as individuals and together. I feel motivated to come to work every day and I’m not afraid to tackle the hard stuff anymore. I know that friction and discomfort are part of learning and growth. We remember our work with Dori more than most of the people who’ve been brought in to work with us.”

  • "Dori doesn’t just talk. She sees you, names what others won’t, and helps the whole room feel energized and hopeful, more inspired. I breathe deeper. Everyone walks away with a JOT (her signature Just One Thing) to take action on right away, and most of us follow through. I did! Time with Dori is time well-spent."

  • “She invited us into reflection in a way that felt safe, but transformative. People are still quoting her weeks later.”

  • “For a long time, I would ask myself, “What would Dori do or say right now?” Then, one day (as she asserted would happen), I found the courage to ask myself, “What do I want? What do I need? What needs to be done or said right now?” And when I did it, I felt so proud. It works! Her stuff works! And that felt so good!”

  • “I always walk away with a nugget, a new way of looking at things, that inspires me about my life and helps me to get back into action, to stop feeling stuck. And unlike so many motivational speaker events, the things Dori says land. I say them now and my staff members laugh when I do, knowing what’s coming. We’ve all been “Dori-fied,” adopted many of the practices she taught us, and benefitted from her wisdom, directly and indirectly. Anyone who’s worked with Dori or heard her speak knows exactly what I mean.”

  • “I bumped into Dori at an event in town years after being part of her leadership development program at RWRD. I was excited to see her and told her that the perspective exercise we did was one of the most impactful experiences of my life. I still remember it, talk about it often, and am grateful for what it made possible for me in my life, not just at work, but also at home. That was a tough and transformational few months. Working with Dori changed my life for the better forever.”
