Your Partner in Reaching Your Potential
Dutra Associates helps leaders reach their peak potential at three key transition points in their careers – growing into senior leadership roles; re-evaluating career direction; and designing the next chapter.
Feel Empowered as you Move Towards Growth
Dutra Associates coaches and trains professionals and leaders to gain insight, clarity, and confidence in their careers and life.
As your coach or training partner, I help you expand your capacity to effectively respond to the demands of your career at every stage. Ultimately, you develop the capacity to manage challenges with ease, increase productivity and team engagement, feel greater career satisfaction, and create the results you want.
How I Help:

Leadership Coaching
Being a successful leader or executive requires the capacity to constantly evolve and grow in a rapidly changing business environment. Through coaching, I help you expand the abilities you need to drive individual, team, and organizational results.

Leadership
Development
Build strong leaders with personalized learning that will help them deepen their understanding of self, and others, while increasing their emotional intelligence. Improve your leaders’ ability to create aligned, engaged, and productive teams through our many leadership development training program options.

Career Coaching
You spend too much of your life working to be miserable doing it. If you are ready to re-evaluate your career or explore new horizons, I help you discover your career direction and develop a clear plan of action to bring engagement and fulfillment back into your work life.

Team
Development
A high-functioning team is more productive and cohesive. These team development trainings are designed to help team members learn to work together more effectively and efficiently to make better decisions, embrace the strengths of all team members, and accelerate positive results.

Retirement Coaching
What key investment is missing from your retirement portfolio? A carefully curated plan designed for you! I coach individuals nearing retirement to intentionally design a plan for the next leg of their journey that brings meaning, purpose, and identity.

Talent
Development
Our talent development programs help participants better understand themselves and others and appreciate differences. With personalized insights and actionable strategies, participants can improve well-being, strengthen workplace relationships, and build collaboration.
Every path to success is unique
I utilize proven methodologies and strategies to tailor each coaching and training experience to the client’s needs and goals. I help draw out the best in each client I serve while helping them take accountability, make sustainable changes, and accelerate progress toward their goals.
