Welcome back! 

Coach Dora's Insight is back from our summer break, and we're more energized than ever. For those new to the community, we're more than just an inspirational newsletter. We're your strategic partner in leadership transformation, offering everything from coaching programs and HR consulting to professional services that support your journey of continuous improvement.

Speaking of transformation, I've been reflecting on some recent feedback from my Engage Mentoring event. It’s moments like these that remind me exactly why this work matters: when leaders realize they now have concrete tools that will change how they develop others and achieve their goals.

These insights were gathered with the help of Talkadot, a partner platform that helps me understand what resonates most. Here’s what leaders had to say:

"Loved your energy and learned a lot! Super glad to have these skills for future roles."

"I'd say that I received a good tool to help me achieve goals."

"Practical advice and good 'formulas' for coaching models."

Your feedback is crucial for shaping future impact. If you've worked with me or simply want to share your thoughts, I'd love to hear from you.

Why I Started Beyond Heritage Months 

You’ve probably noticed I launched my Substack, "Beyond Heritage Months: Sunday Reflections on Inclusion." I was tired of watching leaders scramble to "do diversity right" for a day, then return to business as usual. Real inclusion isn't seasonal. It's a daily practice that transforms teams and drives innovation.

 The Leadership Reality Check ✅

Let's be honest about the challenges you're facing. You're leading in an economy where every decision carries weight, navigating political tensions, and trying to keep pace with technology that seems to evolve daily. You’ve likely heard the truth bomb: "AI won't replace you, but someone using AI just might."

Suddenly, you're not just managing people; you're managing through uncertainty. You're asked to put out today's fires while everyone looks to you for answers you're still figuring out yourself. You're not falling short—you're leading through a level of complexity no previous generation of leaders has faced.

This isn't about keeping up with trends—it's about having more capacity for the work that truly matters. Click below to check out my Top 3 AI Hacks video on YouTube ⬇️
