Edith Dorsey

Throughout Dr. Dorsey’s career as a transformational influence and member of senior leadership, she was appointed to energize and accelerate performance of individuals, large complex teams and departments. By building trusting relationships and navigating matrixed and siloed organizations, Dr. Dorsey led large scale change and operational turnarounds, solved complex enterprise problems, developed top performers, and garnered record employee engagement. But through all these experiences Dr. Dorsey witnessed the difficulties employees faced in navigating organizational, political, and management challenges in the workplace. Too often there were no resources to help them, so they would “suffer in silence”, afraid to raise their issues with their managers or even discuss them with HR. Some of those employees would approach Dr. Dorsey “offline, after business hours, or away from work” to safely talk through difficult (and often politically sensitive) challenges they were facing in their workplace. That’s why Dr. Dorsey launched Away from Work – Confidential Conversations for Navigating Difficult Work Situations – Away from The Workplace. A safe place where professionals can share what they can't at work. A place where working adults can gain psychological safety, clarity, confidence, and resolution.
