Meet your coach
Hi there. I’m Dolores, an executive coach and the founder of Scend. I became a coach after a decade in the startup world, holding leadership and executive roles at high-growth companies like WeWork and Hello Alfred. I believe entrepreneurs have world-changing potential, and I’m passionate about supporting my clients in unlocking all that is theirs to create in this world.
As a startup veteran, I bring a wealth of executive and operational experience to my coaching. From honing your strategic vision to best practices in motivating, managing, hiring and firing — I’ve been there and can support you in mastering the inner-game, so that you can lead with confidence and ease.
Let’s get started
Coaching is an iterative process that creates a resounding impact throughout your life and organization. I work with clients in the following ways to support on-going expansion.
1:1 Coaching
One-to-one coaching creates deep inner clarity so that you can show up as your most authentic, resourceful and creative self.
Individual coaching typically requires a minimum investment of $3,600, and is necessary for a CEO and/or Co-founder prior to the Leadership Alignment program.
Leadership Alignment
When the leadership team is internally aligned, the whole company thrives. Leadership Alignment is a 6-8 month group coaching program that reduces drama and catalyzes team alignment.
After just a few months, leaders often report increased trust and teamwork, clearer/faster decision making, and improved business outcomes.
Team Retreats
Retreats provide an opportunity to deepen clarity, alignment and connection across the broader organization. These events can be held virtually or in-person, and the programming is customized to meet the needs of your growing org.
“Dolores has a steady presence that creates an amazing space for me to explore myself. She challenges me from a place of warmth and knowing that draws me toward the perfect insight. She is a true thinking partner that accelerates my personal and professional growth. I give Dolores my highest recommendation.”
“I sought out coaching from Dolores to get support in tackling uncertainty and indecision. I knew I needed a change from familiar thought patterns and ways of processing, but wasn't quite sure how to move forward on my own. Dolores introduced new ways of seeing the problem and I not only gained clarity from her structured explorations and frameworks, but also the skills to apply these to other situations in my life. I'd strongly recommend Dolores as a coach for anyone wanting to make a significant shift!”
“Dolores is an incredible listener, so I always feel understood when I'm working with her. She's also a clever strategist and often helps me get out of my own way in reaching a goal.”
“Working closely with Dolores over the past few months has allowed me to see more clearly what I value professionally and create actionable steps to get closer to achieving my goals. Her experience allows her to understand a variety of industries and gives her an adept ability to navigate career transitions. I highly recommend working with her!”
“Dolores helped me refine my professional passion and purpose. The ground work we laid together has defined the approach to my career over the last year plus, and will continue to guide me for many years.”
“Dolores helped me to find clarity, direction and purpose during one of the most uncertain times in my life. Working together helped me discover my "full body yes" and tune into the signals my body sends me. Dolores also helped me see how multifaceted I am, how I can effectively call on my different personas, channeling their positive traits, and understanding the most challenging sides to myself, when and how they tend to show up.”
“Dolores has a piercing attention that shares truths. She has helped me see myself more honestly and more fully in a loving, compassionate way.”
