“Dorrie knows cutting-edge techniques to get you noticed and she knows much more.  Her compassion and ability to find out what really drives me to be content and prosperous in a job has helped me make decisions based on a job where I would thrive instead of just make it by.  Last time I worked with her, I gave in to my fears of not having a job, not getting paid enough, and took the first job that said yes.  I sought out Dorrie again for coaching and this time drank in her wisdom and did some self-exploration stimulated by her questions.  I found a job I could do the rest of my career if I choose to do so.  I was able to wait to get a job that uses my skills, but also challenges me to stretch in my abilities.   I found a job where co-workers and management treat each other with respect and work together to find solutions to help our customers.   I also have learned what things are important to stand up for and what “human” issues I can just let go and “live and let live.”  Dorrie has done more than just critique my resume or help me find a job.   She helped me find myself and that has made all the difference.”   – Jennifer

 “I sought Dorrie’s services as I was closing a difficult chapter in my life. Having recently resigned from a job which wasn’t a good fit, I was unemployed and at a loss as to my next career move. Through our sessions, Dorrie helped me find my vision. Her probing questions coupled with the exercises in her arsenal helped peel back the layers to reveal the industries and types of positions most in line with my skill set and personality. In less than three months, I secured a job with the attributes we had determined would bring me the most gratification. I am forever grateful that God led me to her, and I categorically recommend Dorrie to anyone!”  Laura

“Dorrie possesses that special discernment that you absolutely want your coach to have when you are walking through options and opportunities and is able to reflect back to you, offer feedback, ideas and leading thoughts that resonate and guide you. Next, she is able to help you lock these ideas to an extremely practical next step plan and brings expert knowledge to the table to help solidify the path.” Mark

I truly cannot thank you enough. With your coaching support, I was able to realize what I wanted to do with the tools necessary to make that determination.

Through Dorrie’s coaching, I was able to land a job that will really propel my career. Dorrie motivated and encouraged me to aim high when I might have been willing to settle for something less. As a result, I’m in a position where I’m not only gaining valuable experience and opportunities, but also earning $10k more than I’d planned.– Melissa

I was looking to make a career change and needed a new resume quickly. First, Dorrie helped me identify my transferable skills and past career accomplishments, and then we worked together to create a strong resume…My new resume is a much stronger marketing tool, and I’m grateful that Dorrie went ‘beyond the call of duty’ to help me get it done in a short amount of time. – Eddie

I moved to Franklin after going through many difficult changes in my life. As I found myself in a new job that was just not right for me, I sought coaching support from Dorrie.

“Dorrie has a wonderful passion for helping people succeed with their goals and a real talent of encouragement through this difficult process. I appreciate the opportunity of working with Dorrie and highly recommend her as a career coach.”Sean

Recently, I was struggling with the decision of returning to school to further my education, knowing that the time and money required could possibly create a hardship on my family. Dorrie’s approach set the framework for our discussion, and her questions enabled me to focus. While it was challenging to discuss my fears and other reasons for excessive procrastination, by the end of the session, I had established the next steps to take. With further coaching, I had moved beyond most of my fears and accomplished the imperative tasks that brought me closer to my goal of enrolling in graduate school. Dorrie helped to me to ask myself questions in new and more productive ways when faced with an obstacle.– Nancy

My original reason for seeking coaching began with a microscope on my career. Dorrie helped me put a telescope on a wider view of my life. Through our coaching sessions, Dorrie encouraged me to look at ways to either begin or resume actitivities for a more complete and balanced lifestyle. Through Dorrie’s insightful encouragement, I was able to develop a plan for self-directed goal achievement, and I’m pleased to have accepted a job that fits my ‘ideal’ in so many ways. I believe Dorrie’s coaching will have long-term value in my personal and professional life.– Ellen

The small group career coaching format provided a ‘total package’ including effective search tools from Dorrie’s tool box, detailed resume review and supportive relationships that extend beyond the formalized group session. Coaching with Dorrie led to a significant positive ‘energy shift’ and a far more effective job search approach. I’m convinced I am no longer a woman in ‘transition’ but a woman renewed through transformation.– Cheryl

To you, Dorrie, you’re the best. I gained a great deal of knowledge not only about myself, but also how to present myself to potential employers. Your women’s coaching group is a great value, and I truly benefitted from the synergy of coaching in a group.– Kathleen

“Our sessions allowed me to step back and see myself as others do, to analyze myself and my skills and to pull it all together.  I now have an amazing resume that showcases my talents and the areas where I have excelled in the past, and I feel confident that I have now reinvented myself for future employment.” Erin
