Dorothy Erlanger is a speaker, business founder, owner and entrepreneur. With over 28 years of business knowledge and consulting experience. She brings to her top-ranked global clients a unique blend of training, consulting and personal experience. Dorothy's capability as an outstanding group facilitator with a continuous emphasis on actionable results makes her a sought after speaker.

During her consulting career, her broad range of assignments have extended globally to Asia, Europe, South Africa, and the Mideast as well as the United States and Canada.  Her language fluency in Spanish and Portuguese has proved especially helpful to clients in Latin American countries.  Because of her vast international training experience, Dorothy has been a featured speaker two consecutive years at the annual meeting of the American Society of Training and Development (ASTD). 

Even more than her career, Dorothy's personal experiences and hurdles have significantly contributed to the Proactive Pathway process. Dorothy overcame physical and emotional hurdles including a serious birth defect of her right hand, being the first woman hired into an all male industry and surviving a cancer diagnosis at the peak of her career.  Building past these challenges, Dorothy established a successful international consulting business, while at the same time giving back to her business and educational community and helping others realize their own potentials.

Dorothy is an inspiration through her professional accomplishments as well as through her personal journey.  After successfully beating ovarian cancer in 2001, Dorothy competed in her first triathlon, only 10 months after completing chemotherapy.  In her words, she did it as a “celebration of victory over cancer.” Since then, Dorothy has competed in many more triathlons, half-ironman competitions and even an ironman competition as part of a 3-man relay team.  It’s this fervor in facing obstacles that has gained her the respect of both men and women throughout her personal and professional life.
