Summer of Growth Starts Now!
Jul 09, 2024
This Summer is bursting with exciting news! Not only are July and August prime time to celebrate the power of women of color through leadership coaching (registration information below), but it’s also a season of growth for me.
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my brand new Podcast and YouTube channel! Get ready for inspiring conversations and actionable tips. Plus, I’m honored to be a contributing author in a new book. (Stay tuned for details!)
But it’s not all about me. I'm also passionate about supporting my clients and projects that make a difference in our lives. We'll be highlighting an amazing organization working on non partisan election fairness and transparency. And speaking of making a difference, I’m so proud to share testimonials from two recent clients I helped achieve incredible results, “Real People, Real Results”.

”Coach Dora is amazing! She was able to get me to focus on what was important to move my business forward. I was able to talk through ideas and she gave me feedback that helped me make decisions. Her encouragement was motivating and essential to help me get things done. Coach Dora is generous with her experience and resources. I highly recommend her coaching! And I am looking forward to booking more sessions!
I was absolutely satisfied with my sessions. Coach Dora was able to relate to me and help me put everything into perspective. She was the push I needed.“
Pamela ecstatically announced in May 2024 that as CEO and Founder, she’s doing business under InHouse Recruiters and Consultants, LLC!
“Logitech, LogiAmigos, and our DEI team highly recommend Coach Dora for your organization's DEI initiatives. She is an expert in her field and provided our ERG members with extensive value.
We were particularly impressed by our discussion on AI, Spanish Language as a skill, intergenerational collaboration, and the importance of psychological safety as a DEI best practice. DEI is about sustaining a workplace culture of respect, valuing people, and their talent - driving productivity and innovation.
Coach Dora provided insights, strategies, assessments, resources, and tools based on our goals. She exceeded our expectations!!!! Truly amazing work. LogiAmigos members are still mentioning how great she was.”
