Leadership Coaching Coaches

I am a PCC certified executive coach, fundraising coach, and project manager with 16+ years of experience. Prior to becoming a coach, I worked in the not-for-profit field as a CEO, COO, and Major Gifts Fundraiser in the educational, cultural, philanthropic and environmental sectors. I have a passion for operations, fundraising, youth engagement and culture building. I coach leaders to find a more gentle, sustainable and fulfilling approach for building an organization where volunteers, staff and board feel they are enough and see each other as collaborators on a mission to build a more just world. I believe vulnerability is not weakness, but a super power and that everyone has the capacity to use what they have to find what they need. As a coach, I'm really good at helping my clients slow down and make decisions. Technically, I am good at fundraising, project management, goal setting and accountability.

Note: Due to high demand, I do not offer free intro calls. Thank you for understanding. With a Master of Education in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard, an MBA from Vanderbilt, management experience at McKinsey, and 2 years at a meditation center, I bring a very unique blend of business acumen and psychological insight to my coaching practice. As the founder of LT3D, I specialize in helping senior leaders and teams navigate complex challenges, from career transitions to strategic dilemmas. My experience includes building leadership development programs for Fortune 1000 clients and providing executive coaching that accelerates team performance. Having coached hundreds of senior clients, I am dedicated to helping you gain clarity and confidence in your leadership journey.

Welcome to my profile! With over two decades of experience in talent acquisition and leadership development, I am passionate about helping individuals and organizations achieve sustainable success. As the Principal and Coach at Root & Rise LLC, I provide grounded guidance to leaders and teams, fostering clarity and alignment. My extensive background includes leading global recruitment strategies at top companies like Cisco and UKG, where I developed innovative approaches such as AI recruitment strategies. I am dedicated to empowering clients to rise with purpose and achieve their leadership goals. Let's connect to explore how I can support your growth journey!

I’ve spent 12+ years building and leading program management, strategy, and trust and safety teams at tech companies like Uber, Tinder and Hinge. I've grown teams from 3 to 30 employees and scaled operational programs across 6 continents. I've been a trusted advisor to VPs and the C-suite and helped make the business case industry-first features. To me leadership isn't just about the people you manage; it's about the people you can inspire and influence. I believe that leadership does not come from managerial authority but rather from expertise, strong relationships, and deep understanding of the teams around you. Let's become better leaders together.

I bring 20+ years of executive leadership experience, having built and scaled teams across technology companies ranging from fast-growing SaaS startups to Fortune 500 organizations. As VP of Product at SimplePractice, I led cross-functional teams that contributed to 56% year-over-year revenue growth while managing stakeholders across engineering, design, sales, and customer success. At Pearson, I scaled a leadership team from 4 to 21 people while being responsible for $86M in revenue, learning how to develop leaders who could navigate ambiguity, drive strategic thinking, and build high-performing teams across multiple geographies. This experience taught me not just how to deliver results, but how to develop authentic leaders who inspire others and create lasting organizational change. What makes my leadership coaching unique is that I've lived the specific challenges my clients face, from managing competing priorities and difficult conversations to leading through organizational transformation and building psychological safety within diverse teams. I understand the isolation of senior leadership roles and the complexity of balancing stakeholder needs, team development, and personal authenticity. My coaching approach blends real-world leadership experience with coaching principles, helping leaders develop both their strategic capabilities and their genuine leadership presence. I don't just coach theory. I coach from two decades of leading through the messy, complex realities of modern organizational life.

I work with new managers and engineers looking to grow in influencing without authority and leading peers. I help engineering leaders lead effective discussions—small and large—where team strengths shine, constructive conflict is welcomed, and difficult conversations move innovation forward. With over three decades of corporate engineering leadership, I have honed my leadership of people, teams and projects. My background (Ph.D. in engineering, over 300 U.S. Patents, a career growing others and delivering projects, and experience with Functional Safety and Robustness) gives me a solid foundation to guide others. Let's discuss your current leadership challenges and whether my approach fits your goals.

What's your story? I'm curious to learn more. Welcome! I'm Dorothy Yang, and I love getting to know "the stories behind the faces," whether it's with my colleagues, leaders, direct reports, customers or coaching clients. I can’t wait to get to know you better and see how I might help you along your journey. This curiosity and empathy have driven me to not only lead large, global teams to solve complex problems by deeply understanding the end-user, but it’s also led me into the field of leadership coaching. I’m currently a Product and Strategy Executive in Tech. I have 15 +years of experience in Product, Strategy, Marketing, Innovation, Operations, and Engineering roles. With a background spanning Tech, Healthcare, and Consumer Products, I bring a wealth of functional and industry experiences to the table. Trained in human-centered design, I combine industry knowledge with innovative strategies to help you build the dream life you're looking for. I’m a mother, wife, and gender equity advocate. Most importantly, I am a person of faith who believes in a higher calling beyond any role or position; such a calling ultimately drives my life purpose and work. I won’t ever force my beliefs on you, but if helpful, I'm happy to coach from a faith perspective.

My journey has seen me lead transformative initiatives, such as improving talent retention and creating accelerated training programs, which have resulted in numerous internal promotions and enhanced team productivity.

I bring with me over 15 years of Leadership Development coaching experience, having worked with leaders at all levels. My clients have hailed from nearly all of World's top companies and within nearly every major industry. I have a far reaching global footprint, having coached clients and leaders from over 60+ countries and counting (I've coached leaders from every Continent except Antarctica!). In addition to my coaching expertise and experience, I also bring with me my 12+ years of corporate Learning & Development experience at one of the Big 4 professional services firms (PwC). I've supported leaders at all levels with strategy planning, career progression planning (for self and their director reports), interpersonal and professional skills development, giving timely and actionable feedback, delegating effectively and purposefully, overcoming imposter syndrome, and much, much, more. I'm known for, and receive consistent feedback around, being able to synthesize client issues to the finest point and help them connect the necessary dots to move things toward action, all while providing helpful tools and frameworks to support their endeavors. I am empathetic and compassionate, yet direct and will (gently) challenge you as needed. I also bring humor and a down-to-earth realness to each and every one of my client interactions, putting clients at ease and making them feel comfortable.

I’ve held multiple senior leadership roles in the healthcare space, and I didn’t get there by following a playbook. Like many emerging leaders, I had to figure it out on my own. No mentor. Just a lot of trial by fire. I learned to observe, adapt, and make the key mindset shifts needed to go from doer to leader, often in environments where the rules changed overnight. What most people don’t tell you is that what made you great in your last role isn’t always what’s going to carry you forward. The skill set shifts. So does the way you influence, communicate, and drive results. My coaching helps you navigate those leaps with clarity and confidence—whether you're managing people for the first time, growing in your current role, or eyeing your next move up. We’ll focus on building your strategic thinking, leadership presence, and ability to influence across the organization—so you’re not just doing more, but leading smarter.
