Dori LaMarra

You have no idea how much more confident Liana is after each session with you. You are very much appreciated.

Dori and I have been speaking at the same conference every year for quite some time. Only recently did I have the opportunity to attend one of her seminars. She was amazing! Dori had her audience in the palm of her hand and shared her information with knowledge and passion. I truly wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. You won't be disappointed.

As a business owner of a dance Studio, you really help me find the confidence to face some hard subjects. You gave me a pep talk at a Rhee seminar, and I’ll never forget it, even though it was a tiny little conversation.

Dori, 20 years ago I popped into the studio and asked if you needed a drama teacher! You said, “I knew you would come!” Everyone at the studio became an instant family and the students were, and continue to be, spectacular in every way. I’ve never seen you without a smile to greet everyone and hugs to encourage. You taught me to reach high and have clarity and expectations. You were the first to give me the “Love and Logic” books when I had my son! And now, you’re providing wisdom and guidance for me and my family as my mother struggles. Sharing your experiences and finding the light and laughter wherever you can! And I’m a laugher. Your tenacity is amazing. You continue to reinvent yourself and inspire so many along the way. Thank you

I really enjoyed all of the conferences and presentations/seminars with you! “Master your Message” and Leading with Confidence have been the pretty big takeaways I have gained from our work together! You give excellent perspectives on how to refine studios' strengths and figure out ways to help them create systems for any areas of improvement! Wishing you and the community you are building the best of luck!!

Miss Dori, I had a very enjoyable time yesterday and learned a lot!! I really liked the values list and will use that for myself and will also use it for discussion with the entire family. I really appreciate all that you do and offer for our family. Chad Bredernitz Chief Financial Officer Corporate Eagle Management Services, Inc.
