”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.”

“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 in a functional format. 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. ”

”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. She provided new perspectives, objectivity, and guidance in decision making as I determined where I wanted to go from here. I’m in a much better place now and am thankful God put Dorrie in my path during this season.”

“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.”

“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.”

”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.”

”As a full-time teacher and mother of 3, I felt overwhelmed by the demands on my attention and time and unsure of what I could do differently, though I knew things needed to change. Dorrie helped me to set goals and make a plan to achieve them. After each conversation, I had very specific ideas about concrete steps I could take. She listened to gripes, but kept me focused on positive actions and alternatives. I was amazed at how she helped me think through my own priorities and was able to ask questions that directed my frustration in constructive ways. Our family life improved dramatically. ”
