Celebrating 2 Years 🎉 And What Comes Next

Dear Leaders,

This month marks two years of Coach Dora LLC.

And I’ve been thinking about what that really means.

Not just growth in numbers or visibility, but growth in alignment. The kind that asks you to slow down, reflect, and make sure what you’re building still reflects what you value.

That reflection feels especially meaningful right now.

Because alongside this milestone, we recently crossed 25,000 views on the Coach DoraM YouTube channel.

Grateful. Truly. 🙏🏾

That number isn’t just a metric. It’s a reminder that these conversations around leadership, purpose, and growth are landing where they’re needed.

So if you’ve watched, shared, or supported—thank you. You’re part of this.

What’s Happening

This season has been filled with conversations that remind me why this work matters.

I’m honored to be part of the upcoming Leadership & Innovation in Public Service Symposium at John Jay College, where I’ll be speaking on:

Coaching Through Crisis: Building Resilient Leadership for Gender Equity in Local Government

Because in times of disruption, leadership isn’t just about strategy. It’s about how we support people through complexity.

A Look Back

Moments That Mattered

Over the past month, I’ve had the opportunity to be in rooms and conversations that stayed with me long after they ended.

NYC Commission on Gender Equity – 10-Year Anniversary Panel

What stood out most was the collective energy. With over 100 participants actively engaging, it felt less like a panel and more like a shared commitment to moving equity forward.

Care as Resistance 2026 | Seattle

Facilitating Reclaiming Care: Integrating AI Literacy for Liberatory Leadership created space for honest dialogue about how we bring care and innovation together in leadership.

These experiences continue to shape how I approach this work—centering people, not just process.

How I Support Organizations

2 Years In, More Aligned Than Ever

Right now, my work continues to focus on:

• Fractional CHRO leadership

• Leadership coaching

• Organizational strategy and culture transformation

For organizations navigating growth, change, or complexity, this work is about creating clarity and building systems that actually support people.

Closing Reflection

Growth isn’t just about expanding.

It’s about staying aligned with what matters most as you grow.

So I’ll leave you with this:

• What are you building right now?

• Who are you building it for?

• And does it reflect what you truly value?

Coach Dora’s Insights will be back in May.

 P.S. Reaching this two-year milestone has me especially grateful for the organizations I’ve partnered with along the way. If your team is exploring leadership strategy, culture, or people operations this year, I’d love to connect and explore what partnership could look like.
