Are you a senior professional or an executive who is looking to take a next serious step in your career? To have a more meaningful, impact driven and successful career? You came to the right place!

Hi 👋🏻 I'm Dorota, great to meet you! 

I am passionate about providing my clients with transformational career coaching, so that they can achieve the revolutionary change in their career and create an impact they desire to see in the world.

I am an Official Member of Forbes Coaches Council. 

My book "Career Jump! How to Successfully Change Your Professional Path" is available on www.careerjump.nl, amazon.com.

Does this sound like you?

“I’m looking for a career path that is meaningful. But I am not sure what it exactly means for me.”

“I am stuck, and I cannot decide on the next steps.”

“I desperately want to change my job, but I do not have a clue what else could I do professionally and how to start.”

“For years I was just rolling into my career from one function into another, I want to take a conscious decision in what type of organization I do want to work.”

“I want to get reassurance that my new career ideas are the right ones.”

“Everyone tells me I have such a great job, but I feel I am in a wrong place and I feel guilty for wanting something else.”

“I know what my next steps should be, but my negative inner voice is stopping me from taking action.”

“I feel stressed at my current job. I don’t sleep well. I feel miserable after a day at work. But I do not know what I could do instead. I feel stuck. At the same time my job keeps on paying the bills, so I feel trapped in a golden cage.” 

Do you recognize any of these? If yes, I want to help YOU!

In the past 14 years I have coached 1000+ clients from all over the world and helped them to  successfully change their careers and even countries.

I am a certified coach/counselor at Dutch Academy for Psychotherapy. I am also a Brain-Based Certified Coach, Results Trained Coach at NeuroCoaching Institute and Mental Strength Coach. 

I want to help YOU to thrive in your professional life abroad. So that you can feel empowered to realize your (professional) dreams and lead the life you want!

If you are an HR Manager and you are looking for support with your international employees contact me on dorota@dosocoaching.com.

Helping high-performers use their unique talent to unlock a life of purpose and meaning. Career & Life Coach

In 2022, I left my successful marketing career (12+ years, including growing companies LinkedIn pages by 4X and 5X) to build something more meaningful.

My clients are not here for quick cash grabs. They're here to make a meaningful difference. And so am I.

Does this resonate? You're showing up, posting valuable content, doing "all the right things."

But somehow, your business still feels like a best-kept secret.

LinkedIn feels overwhelming. Complicated. Hard.

Here's what I've learned after helping 20+ solopreneurs: LinkedIn isn't the real problem. Your positioning is.

You don’t need more content, followers, or tactics.
You need to clarify your unique value and what you stand for.

That's why I created Aligned Positioning™ – my signature framework that turns purpose-driven solopreneurs into sought-after experts authentically.

MY APPROACH

→ I simplify LinkedIn to its core principles (no overwhelm, no complicated funnels)
→ I focus on authentic strategy rooted in YOUR truth, not generic tactics
→ I teach from lived experience - I've been exactly where you are

Perfect for you if you're a solopreneur who:

✓ Left corporate to build something more meaningful
✓ Has expertise but struggles to communicate it clearly
✓ Wants LinkedIn success without feeling salesy or fake
✓ Is tired of one-size-fits-all advice that doesn't work for YOU

What aligned positioning gives you:

1. Be seen and known for your unique expertise
2. Attract ready-to-work-with-you clients organically
3. Build a profitable business rooted in clarity and purpose

The world needs your gift. Let's make sure it sees it.

→ Follow for authentic LinkedIn & positioning strategies that actually work
→ Ready to stop being invisible? Send me a message.

Yenti Tan | MBA | Certified Coach | 30+ countries explored

I recently sat in a workshop where a sales expert said:

"Keep following up until they say yes. 10+ times if you have to. That's what resilience looks like."

I'm calling BS.

I believe in honoring others' free will and timeline. 

Because when there's genuine alignment:

- you don't have to chase for a response
- conversations will unfold organically
- win-win partnerships are formed

If someone needs 10 follow-ups to respond, there's no alignment. You're pushing a mismatched fit.

Save your energy for something actually productive.

Real resilience isn't about how many times you chase someone who's ghosting you. 

It's about having the courage to stay on your path even when you face rejection and roadblocks.

Here's what I've learned: The right people will engage when there's genuine alignment.

Without you having to convince, chase, or prove your worth through 10 follow-ups.

And the foundation of this attracting-over-chasing energy?

Crystal clear positioning that makes you magnetic to aligned clients and invisible to mismatched ones.

That's the real work. Not sending more follow-up.

What's your take? Where's the line between persistent and pushy?

P.S. If your positioning isn't attracting aligned people naturally, DM me and let's talk.

Yenti Tan, MBA

Marketed Coca-Cola, IKEA & Unilever. Now I help solopreneurs attract clients, grow their business, and become the go-to expert with Aligned Positioning™

I disappeared from LinkedIn for 10 days.

No announcement. 
No explanation. 
Just... gone.

My anxiety flared up. 
Terrible headaches. 
Chronic back pain.

I knew forcing myself to "show up" when I don’t have the mental and physical capacity wasn't sustainable.

So I stopped.

And you know what? 

The world didn't end.
My audience is still here.
My positioning didn't fall apart.

As a solopreneur, everything counts on you.
If you're not okay, nothing else will be.

Your client's work suffers. 
Your content suffers. 
Your clarity suffers.

So when your body is screaming for rest → listen.

Yes, consistency matters. But consistency built on burnout is just a countdown waiting to collapse.

Your marketing should support > control your life.

When was the last time you took a break from LinkedIn without guilt?
