Speaking

When she speaks, Dorota comes alive.

This is who she is…

Unfiltered

Unguarded

Unrehearsed

Unapologetic

Authentic

Named one of Ace Burpee’s Fascinating Manitobans 2019: Manitoba 150 Edition, audiences describe Dorota as “… the highlight of this day, [a] very powerful speaker, engaging and authentic, incredibly articulate and so inspiring.”

Her sincerity in wanting to bring about change is undeniable. She speaks to a room of 500 people as though she were speaking to a room of 1 – with humour, wit, openness, and love. She demonstrates how she has “seen” herself in the life of every person she’s ever known; her audiences begin to see themselves in the lives of others. She builds empathy, compassion, kinship. 

“…, three words come to mind when describing Dorota: passionate, authentic and magnetic. People are drawn to Dorota and her honest, heart-felt storytelling. Sometimes her message is raw and uncomfortable and she finds a way to bring you in and feel the emotions first hand. She is a dynamic speaker…”

Kris Owen, Vice President, General Manager, ChangeMakers

Are people interested in the life stories of others?

Damn right they are! It is how we deepen our empathy, widen our embrace, learn to love unguarded.

There’s not a person who hasn’t suffered so sort of loss in their life. To live is to suffer. The harm isn’t always in the moment of pain, but in the long silence that follows it. The loneliness of believing you are alone in this experience.

Is vulnerability the same as weakness?

Absolutely not.
