Build Strength that Multiplies

We work with individuals, people developers, and organizations to build capability that grows through coaching, peer practice, and embedded learning processes. Integrated into real work, not separate programs that fade.

I am here to…

Start where it matters to you:

Grow Myself

You're working harder but not making real progress. Something needs to shift.

We help you build clarity, confidence, and progress through your unique strengths and continuous practice, not theory.

Grow Others

You develop others all day but have no space to develop yourself.

We help you sharpen your craft with peer practice and honest feedback. Strengthen how you facilitate, lead, and develop people.

Grow Teams & Organizations

Your people development effort doesn’t stick because they're not embedded in real work.

We help you create learning eco-systems that stick because they're co-created and embedded in how your teams actually work.

I’m here to Grow Myself

The Presence Lab

Structured practice space to build confidence, presence, and clarity through multiple perspectives.

Small group sessions built around prompts that get you speaking, coaching, and giving feedback. You practice repeatedly in a consistent group. Think of it as a gym for your voice and clarity.

This is for you if you want to:

  • Speak up with more confidence

  • Say what you mean, directly and concisely

  • Hold stronger presence in groups

  • Give feedback and coaching that lands

  • Build momentum through intentional practice

This is NOT for you if:
You want confidence without group practice or repetition. This works through practice, not theory. Need privacy or perfection? Look elsewhere.

Coaching

1:1 space to build clarity, confidence, and capability based on your strengths and what works for you.

Sessions focus on what feels most pressing: choices that matter now and patterns shaping your work. You test simple actions, notice what shifts, and adjust based on measurable progress.

This is for you if you want to:

  • Get clear on what to focus on now

  • Use your strengths practically in complex situations

  • Make choices with confidence when things feel uncertain

  • Follow through on commitments and priorities

  • Build momentum through measurable habits and progress

This is NOT for you if:
You want to be told what to do or use strategies that aren't yours. This requires honesty, experimentation, and discomfort. Not ready to test ideas? We're not the right fit.

I’m here to Grow Others

The People Developer Lab

Dedicated space for people developers to strengthen their own capability, clarity, and confidence.

We support others constantly but rarely focus on our own growth. This gives you that space. Practice new approaches, receive feedback on your work, turn shared knowledge into action. Connect with peers who understand this work.

This is for you if you want to:

  • Build a clearer, stronger professional practice

  • Try new methods and receive grounded feedback

  • Sharpen coaching, facilitation, and people development capability

  • Exchange knowledge you can apply immediately

  • Strengthen your work through peer support and connection

This is NOT for you if:
You haven't worked with real clients or teams or won't give and receive honest feedback on the actual work. This demands participation and vulnerability. Want to observe without being observed? Look elsewhere.

Mentoring & Coaching

1:1 space for people developers to gain clarity, capability, and direction in their professional path.
Bring your most pressing practice and career questions. We work through them together. Sessions blend mentoring and coaching so you get both guidance and thinking space. Use your strengths, make choices aligned with your skill and passion, build capability.

This is for you if you are asking questions like:

  • What career path aligns with my strengths and passion?

  • Which qualifications are worth pursuing and which aren't?

  • How do I set up my own practice that reflects who I am?

  • How do I build solutions for messy reality?

  • How do I handle resistance, ambiguity, and complexity with confidence?

This is NOT for you if:
You're building foundational skills rather than refining practice, want handed solutions instead of building judgment, or need affirmation over assessment. This challenges assumptions and raises hard questions. Validation over growth? Look elsewhere.

I’m here to Grow Teams & Organizations

Collaborative Work Design

Collaborative process to build practices, structures, and systems that are clearer, more effective, and easier to implement.

We bring leaders and teams together to work through complex topics that benefit from multiple perspectives and coordinated action. The process uses clear facilitation, practical tools, and strength-based collaboration to surface insights, align decisions, and build routines that hold. End to end: design to implementation to sustainment.

This is for you if your teams need to work on topics such as:

  • Strategy review and alignment across teams

  • Culture refresh or reinvention

  • Change or transformation efforts

  • Workflow or process redesign

  • Team effectiveness and collaboration

  • Strength-based team development

  • Innovation or new product development

This is NOT for you if:
You want consultants to fix your people, need cosmetic changes, or can't commit to co-creation. This requires your people at the table, their willingness to face reality, and commitment to working together through real challenges. Want polished decks for shelves? Hire someone else.

Social Learning Systems

Integrated way to build and strengthen internal learning across your organization that grows capability from within.

This embeds social learning into how your organization already operates so people learn from real situations and each other. We design processes and systems that use internal expertise well, grow people developers, and support practical learning that moves the needle. Focus on capability that grows from within and supports long-term impact.

This is for you if you want to build:

  • Internal mentoring and coaching schemes

  • Leadership development with lasting and measurable impacts

  • Capability models for people development roles

  • Coaching and consulting skills for talent and L&D business partners

  • Systems that help people learn through real practice, not one-off events

This is NOT for you if:
You want packaged programs to roll out, prefer one-off events over embedded learning, or won't invest in internal capability building. This develops your people to run and sustain the systems themselves. Vendor programs are easier but can't evolve with your challenges or build the capability you need long-term.

Action Learning

Systematic way for teams to tackle real work while building capability through coached reflection and collaboration.
Action Learning brings people together to explore perspectives and ask better questions that move work forward. Strengthens leadership, collective decision-making, and teamwork simultaneously. Works across individual, team, and organizational levels of learning. Creates learning that lasts because it's practiced and reinforced in live situations.

This is for you if your teams want:

  • Stronger collaboration across teams

  • Better collective decisions on crucial and pressing work

  • Leaders with critical, independent thinking who ask better questions

  • Learning that drives real actions and changes

  • Team coaching integrated with actual work delivery

  • Development tied to business outcomes

This is NOT for you if:
Your teams will only work on safe exercises rather than real business challenges, leadership won't support what emerges, or you prefer top-down execution over teams formulating solutions through critical inquiry. This surfaces hard truths and requires courage. Not ready? Don't start.

How We Work: What You Can Expect

Progress becomes real when a few essential elements work together.
Here's what guides everything we do:

Action over theory

Clarity comes from movement, not thinking harder. Overthinking leads to paralysis. We stay practical and focused so you move, adjust, and continue with confidence.

Evidence with discernment

Research guides the work but never dictates it. Psychology and leadership science are useful, not universal. We measure and show what works for you, not for "most people."

Strength-based and generative

Strengths are more than assessments or labels. They make you stronger and give you strength. We use your strengths to generate clarity, confidence, and capability that grows through use.

Co-created, not handed over

We build the work with you and your people. Progress lasts because it is co-created, not handed over. You get practical routines and systems you run yourself. The aim is self-reliance, not dependency.

Learning that drives real impact

Learning is not for hobby or intellectual entertainment. It only matters when it brings real changes. You learn what you will use, and you use what you learn.

Measurable progress

Progress becomes visible in your habits, conversations, decisions, and results. We track what changes, why it changes, and how it holds. Small moves compound into sustained momentum.

The WAVES Cycle©

WAVES of strength, ripples of impact

Fixing gaps feels like work. Using strengths creates flow. Change that sticks comes from what energizes you, not what depletes you. The WAVES Cycle© turns your existing patterns of effectiveness into capability and momentum through focused, deliberate practice.

W - Weigh

Define what matters now

Name where you need momentum. One specific challenge, goal, or capability that pulls you forward now.

A - Assess

Map strength patterns

Find what's already working. Patterns of energy, choice, and results. Build from existing effectiveness, not borrowed strategies.

V - Venture

Test & adjust in real work

Apply your strength patterns to a real situation. Notice what creates flow and results. Adjust. Run again.

E - Evaluation

Track what shifts

Measure behavior change, not feelings. What improved in your decisions, conversations, results? Track evidence of growing capability.

S - Scale

Build systems that grow

Embed what works into daily practice. Create routines you sustain yourself. Capability multiplies without dependency.

Why WAVES Works?

  • Circular. Each cycle deepens strength and expands impact.

  • Evidence-based. Every stage produces data about what works for you.

  • Strength-focused. Build from effectiveness, not deficiency. Energy and capability multiply faster.

  • Self-sustaining. You run the system, not us.

Hi, I'm Dorothy

I've spent years watching smart people trapped in programs that don't fit, and organizations waste time and money on initiatives that never stick.

I work with leaders and teams to build capability that lasts through clarity, practice, and systems they run themselves. No generic playbooks. No dependency. No BS.

I think ahead while staying grounded in what's actionable now. I simplify complexity, challenge what isn't working, and build confidence through experiments and evidence. Care comes with honesty and tough love.

Strength-based. Evidence-informed. We start with what's working, test in real situations, and measure what shifts. We co-create every solution. Your context shapes the approach, your strengths guide the path, you own the progress.
