Ben Matson Event Planner, WFG National Title

"Dorice kicked off the opening keynote bright and early, when many of us had just fought traffic and were still waking up with our coffee, and immediately brought energy and enthusiasm to the room.

What stood out most to me was how quickly she got people engaged. It’s not easy to get a room full of HR professionals up and participating… and yet she had multiple people on stage, involved in an activity, laughing, learning, and fully bought in. That says a lot about her ability to connect and create a safe, engaging environment."

The content and the real, tangible examples were very impactful to us! She has an amazing message and tools to share with the world."
