TESTIMONIALS

happy clients 

“I used the SBI model within an hour after the workshop finished. The feedback I sent my team member would have been appropriate without it, but was definitely more effective with it.”

Kim Hlavka
Reach Counseling

 

“The Team Performance Model and Emergenetics helped us understand how the larger group operates, approach one another more effectively, and leverage our strengths.”

Lynn Halmar
Wisconsin Department of Children & Families

 

“The ability to reinforce and elevate the learnings from the sessions within the coaching sessions maximizes the learning outside of the cohort experience.”

Bregetta Wilson
Wisconsin Department of Children & Families

 

“This workshop emphasized building common language and continuing to check in on psychological safety. It is helping us become stronger for the future, both personally and professionally.”

“Dorothy served as a facilitator for our award-winning RISE MKE Entrepreneurial Training Program, giving more than 50 minority entrepreneurs the tools and support needed to become successful business owners. Her knowledge, realness, and ability to share both her successes and failures make her a true ‘gem dropper.’ She is prompt, efficient, and produces great outcomes.”

Jona Moore, African American Chamber of Commerce Wisconsin

 

Dorothy facilitated a session for the Black Resource Group at Campbell Soup Company. Her content was inspiring, relevant and compelling. I have gotten nothing but positive feedback from the session participants citing her upbeat and poignant delivery of “The Plug”. I would recommend booking her services and intend to bring her back to Campbell in the future.

Leah Murphy, Senior Manager Corporate Strategy

Ellevate has a real approach to today’s leadership and self development challenges. All the material is relevant, poignant and presented in a humorous way that sticks with the audience. As someone who has gone through every leadership course known to mankind and an avid reader on this topic, I found the Ellevate approach to be profound. Highly recommend!  You will certainly get something to think about with a fresh perspective. 

Maja Stevanovich, The Marketing Chameleon

 

Dorothy Enriquez, of the Ellevate Collective played a pivotal role in my leadership journey. I’ve had the pleasure of growing with Dorothy over the last 1.5 years, at multiple companies, in both group and individual capacities. Before our sessions, I struggled to empower my team to take action on their own. My confidence wavered with the day, struggling to see the value I brought to those around me. Dorothy, in turn, helped me identify my style of leadership, taught me strategies to overcome my obstacles while speaking life into me throughout the entire process. I am more assertive in conversation, I am more congruent with my future goals, and I have a team of high performers who make big moves.

Rebecca Moses, Housing Services Manager

 

“Dorothy! We absolutely enjoyed hosting the event. The feedback we received showed that participants found the session engaging, memorable, and effective at helping them lower their defenses. Thank you for helping us create such a successful experience. Here’s to a future of being brave!”

The presentation today for Your Right to Win was amazing and very much a great experience. I ended up hopping on with a coworker after having technical difficulties with my own computer, even despite those issues it was an incredible webinar. I have no idea how you came to learn about Dorothy, but she is incredibly talented and hands down that was the most engaging Zoom call. I’d love to see her in person post COVID!

Jamie Jacob, Senior Property Manager

 

I thought the class today was the best diversity and inclusion class I have attended to date. I was dreading it going in, expecting yet another lecture about my white privilege yada yada yah. I was so wrong. Dorothy Enriquez is an excellent speaker, kept everyone engaged and actually got me to pay attention and lower my defenses. Thank you for including us in this opportunity.

Shawna Neuner, Real Estate Agent

“I enjoyed being able to dive into these five areas and see how they apply to our workplace: hierarchy and decision-making, performance and culture, formal communication and etiquette, networking and relationship-building, and adaptability and continuous learning.”

Halie Nabbefeld

“Ellevate’s culture transformation work with us was powerful. Dorothy created distinction and language around how our company works; because without it our world can’t occur. And with language and a framework we can ignite sustained transformation within our culture and organization. Everything else can emerge from that.” 

Dr. Jeanette Mitchell

CEO of African American Leadership Alliance Milwaukee

 

“As CEO, I knew how to run a business, but I didn’t always know how to best show up for my team. Dorothy changed the game for how both my team and I show up for each other. She is the real deal, and I’ve never seen a human being she can’t transform with her leadership magic.”

Shayla Varnado
Founder and CEO
Black Girls Wine + Black Girls Wine Society

“Reach Counseling worked with Dorothy for nine months as she led our agency through a meaningful and impactful diversity, equity, and inclusion journey. Through her sessions and coaching, Dorothy taught us how to be intentionally inclusive and hold one another accountable for inclusive behaviors. I highly recommend her to organizations ready to take action, and we will continue consulting with Dorothy as our team evolves.”
