Description:  As a motivational keynote speaker, Dorothy's passionate and interactive style gives you confidence to make tough decisions, along with your roadmap to get there. Dorothy's personal experiences and hurdles have significantly contributed to the Proactive Pathway process. Just one example - a short 10 months after beating ovarian cancer in 2001, Dorothy competed in her first triathlon. In her words, she did it as a "celebration of victory over cancer." Since then, Dorothy has competed in multiple triathlons, including reaching the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. It's this fervor in facing obstacles that has gained her the respect of both men and women throughout her personal and professional life. Out of this, she brings the message that each of us has the capability to reach beyond boundaries, achieving goals step by step.
