About Dorotea
I believe leadership starts with being able to think clearly about what really matters.
Before moving into leadership development, I spent twelve years as a professional theatre actress. That experience still influences the way I work with leaders. Theatre taught me about presence, perception, body language, relationships and the difference between what we intend to communicate and what others actually experience.
It also taught me something rather important about authenticity: knowing what is genuinely yours, within the role you are playing.

What I bring to coaching
I am an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with over 20 years of experience, trained in Solution-Focused Coaching and a certified NLP Practitioner. I hold a Master’s degree from the University of Lausanne and work in English, French and Italian.
As a Solution-Focused Coach and NLP practitioner, I help executives articulate and communicate their vision, sustain strategic thinking, and make grounded decisions under pressure. My coaching creates space for transformational insight: leaders gain perspective, challenge their assumptions, and translate breakthrough thinking into measurable action. My work often addresses high-stakes leadership moments, enterprise-level expectations, and navigating complex human dynamics.
Since 2015, I have specialized in supporting remote and hybrid leaders. I guide them in strengthening trust, active listening, and empathy across distance while sustaining authentic engagement and adaptive performance within fragmented, fast-changing contexts.
Since 2025, our coaching conversations address the added complexity that comes within the AI transformation and the disruptive impact it has on work relationships and the human side of operations’ dynamics.
An international perspective
Most of us now move through the world with multiple cultural layers at once, shaped by where our mixed parents come from, where we were born, where we studied, where we work, and the teams we move across.
Culture is no longer a single reference point, it is fluid, layered, and constantly shifting with context. I lived, studied, worked and adapted to different layers of cultures going from Switzerland, Italy, France, Australia, Canada and Singapore.
This precious experience taught me something I continue to value deeply, the practice of what I call Cultural Calibration: the ability to adjust in real time, across all these layers, so that meaning, intention, and impact remain aligned. I strive to stay open and curious about what happens. How we listen. How we interpret. What we assume. What remains unsaid.
Leadership is built through relationships, and many of those relationships happen beyond face-to-face.
A coaching conversation can happen across a screen, just as meaningful leadership relationships are built through conversations, messages, meetings, emails and countless small moments of interaction.
Beyondf2f is about what happens in those relationships.
Space to think. Courage to lead.
