Background

About Dorie Clark

Many accomplished professionals do exceptional work - but still struggle to get the recognition they deserve. In my work, I’ve seen that the issue is rarely talent or effort. It’s strategy: how ideas are positioned, how expertise is made visible, and how reputation is built over the long term. I help individuals and organizations think more strategically about reinvention, visibility, and long-term success — so their work and ideas can be heard in a noisy world. I’m a strategy consultant and keynote speaker who has worked with clients including Google, Microsoft, FedEx, Fidelity, Yale University, the IMF, and the World Bank. I write regularly for Harvard Business Review and Fast Company, and I’m the author of several books on strategy, professional reinvention, and long-term thinking — including The Long Game (WSJ & USA Today bestseller), Reinventing You, and Entrepreneurial You. I’ve been named one of the Top 50 Business Thinkers in the World multiple times by Thinkers50, one of the Top 50 leadership experts by Inc. magazine, the #1 Communication Coach in the World by the Marshall Goldsmith Leading Global Coaches Awards, and cited by The New York Times as an “expert at self-reinvention.” For more than a decade, I taught executive education for Duke University's Fuqua School of Business and Columbia Business School, and have also taught at business schools around the world including IE Business School (Spain), HEC-Paris, Fundação Dom Cabral (Brazil), and more. I also hosted a weekly interview show for Newsweek for three years. Earlier in my career, I worked as a journalist, a presidential campaign spokesperson, and a producer of a Grammy-winning jazz album — experiences that continue to shape my perspective on influence, narrative, and credibility.
