Celebrating 2 Years š And What Comes Next
Dear Leaders,
This month marks two years of Coach Dora LLC.
And Iāve 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 youāre 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. šš¾
That number isnāt just a metric. Itās a reminder that these conversations around leadership, purpose, and growth are landing where theyāre needed.
So if youāve watched, shared, or supportedāthank you. Youāre part of this.

Whatās Happening
This season has been filled with conversations that remind me why this work matters.
Iām honored to be part of the upcoming Leadership & Innovation in Public Service Symposium at John Jay College, where Iāll be speaking on:
Coaching Through Crisis: Building Resilient Leadership for Gender Equity in Local Government
Because in times of disruption, leadership isnāt just about strategy. Itās about how we support people through complexity.

A Look Back
Moments That Mattered
Over the past month, Iāve had the opportunity to be in rooms and conversations that stayed with me long after they ended.
NYC Commission on Gender Equity ā 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 workācentering 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 isnāt just about expanding.
Itās about staying aligned with what matters most as you grow.
So Iāll 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 Doraās Insights will be back in May.
