About Dorothy
Dorothy Burton is an empowerment teacher, lay Christian counselor, and speaker, as well as a subject matter expert in authentic faith, public servant leadership, ethics, and truth in the public sphere.
Her work is driven by a deep conviction that truth, character, and integrity in leadership are essential—because the well-being of the people depends on it.
Dorothy advocates for the coexistence of Christianity and representative democracy in America, emphasizing that government must represent all people—those of faith and those without.
She believes effective leadership honors the dignity and worth of every individual, ensuring a government that is truly of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Through her writing, teaching, and speaking, Dorothy empowers and inspires leaders, emerging leaders, and those serving in public roles to achieve personal growth and enhance individual, organizational, and team performance.
With decades of experience in public servant leadership, Dorothy brings keen insight and practical wisdom to help governments, organizations, teams, and individuals.
She is adept at advising leaders in crisis, resolving complex relational and organizational challenges, and providing solutions that drive results.
Dorothy shares proven principles and actionable strategies to equip, motivate, and inspire leaders.
She frequently speaks at leadership and faith-based conferences, delivers keynote addresses, and develops proprietary training programs.
