Dori Eppstein brings something unique to automotive leadership – a psychology background that helps her understand shop culture from the human side, not just the operational side. I’ve heard her speak multiple times, and she has this rare ability to shift how you think about leadership and communication. Her work on emotional intelligence has helped me understand myself better as a leader, which has been transformative for how I run Lighthouse Automotive. She’s authentic, passionate, and genuinely invested in people’s growth – exactly the kind of person you want challenging your thinking.

Dori has been a great mentor to me and has helped me develop into the community leader that I am today. She is creative and talented and has always been able to give me a new and unique perspective that has helped me come up with creative solutions to barriers that I faced both personally and professionally. I am honored to give Dori my highest
recommendation – and continue to look forward to working with her in the future.

Dori has numerous skills as her resume testifies. Against a background of great managerial skills and intelligence, I was most impressed with her exceptional interpersonal skills. Staff, physicians, patients, and collaborators at various sites in the country respected her and expressed their liking of her. Her skill profile and experience
make her successful in many areas and in particular as a coach and consultant. I recommend her enthusiastically.

As a young professional, I was fortunate to have Dori as one of my mentors when she was Assistant Director of Student Affairs at the UC San Diego School of Medicine. She was very attentive, compassionate, dedicated and provided great direction for all of her students. Now in an established practice, I can say nothing but praise for Dori as her mentorship has significantly impacted my career path for the better.

Thank you so much for editing my book ( Out Of Reach) it was truly a smooth journey with you where you understood the kind of life I had and you lived every moment of joy, sorrow, sadness, and excitement that I had as if you were with me. You really amazed me how quick and perfect your editing was and here I have a great published memoir! I cannot thank you enough for your great work and I look forward to working with you again.

I had the pleasure of working with Dori to prepare my keynote speech for the BeGREAT! event in Seattle, WA. With Dori’s guidance, I was able to weave emotion, depth, and a creative message into my work. I felt confident, ready, and aligned to step onto the stage and lead the audience on a journey versus simply speak at them. The results were amazing. I had so many people from the audience walk up to me after the speech and share how much my story touched and affected them. I was also invited to speak on other stages and events as a result of the success of this event. Thank you Dori for your loving and strategic guidance.

Dori is one of the most genuine coaches I’ve met. For her, it is truly about the cause. Her energy & passion is an inspiration for all of us who have had the pleasure of meeting her and in a world highly motivated by money, it is very refreshing to deal with someone who takes the time to get to know you and cares about your experience. I’d highly recommend Dori to any of my colleagues
