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.

I highly recommend her for any event you want to be a success. She delivers beyond any expectation! Both audience members and committee members loved her. She helped us with suggestions on how to make our event the best it could be. She is the same on and off the stage, very giving and very kind

We had Dorice speak to our management team about creating a Culture of Joy in our shops and turning that into a High Powered Business! She did a fantastic job of inspiring them AND giving them practical ways to apply the information.

Every Manager bought her book and are reading it together! Dorice is a wonderful teacher and speaker who we will bring in again for sure! We highly recommend her to any business looking to recalibrate their culture!
