"Dorie’s lecture was comprehensive and articulately delivered through humor, anecdotes, and pure, ebullient energy. In addition to her professionalism, she also demonstrated the casual, approachable tone of one who has mastered the subjects on which she speaks. As someone about to enter the workforce, I found her lecture relevant, streamlined, and – above all – necessary to successfully navigate in this new digital age. I’d strongly advise any group looking towards the future to tap into her wealth of knowledge, both for the delightful Dorie Clark “experience” and for the wisdom one can only find in a speaker of Dorie’s caliber."

“Olin College is a small, all-engineering school with a tight-knit student body. Olin's Society of Women Engineers invited Dorie to help students in the art of communicating with people from a non-technical background. Before her visit, Dorie took the trouble to learn about Olin's community and tailor her message. The result was an interactive and engaging conversation that students really enjoyed. The effectiveness of her talk stemmed not only from the compelling way she gave advice but also from the way she successfully demonstrated her concepts by example.”

- Rachael Stedman, President, Olin College Society of Women Engineers

"Dorie provided an enthusiastic, experienced and knowledgeable voice to our panel on social media for small business people.
