Today we’re excited to be connecting with Dominique Velez R again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.

Dominique, we are so thrilled to be connecting again and can’t wait to hear about all the amazing things you have been up to. Before we jump into all of that, some of our readers might have missed our prior interview, so can you take a moment to reintroduce yourself?
I am a joyful woman who loves laughter and positive energy, with a passion for serving and helping others lead their lives. I had the privilege of working for over 10 years as a consultant in soft skills with top executives and teams. I became certified in globally proven methodologies and, after studying many experts, I decided to bring these concepts to everyday people who, perhaps unknowingly, are living a life they never truly chose and don’t realize how they can become the true leaders of their own lives. I teach this through a model I developed, which allows anyone to practically redirect their life toward the life they’ve always dreamed of.

Awesome, so we reached out because we wanted to hear all about what you have been up to since we last connected.
I have been living in Florida, USA, for three years and am in the process of publishing my book—a project that was on hold for some time but will be one of my key master projects for 2025. This will allow me to resume my role as a Leadership Coach.

Alright, so let’s do something a bit more fast-paced and lighthearted. We call this our lightning round and we’ll ask you a few quick questions.

What do you want people to remember about you and your brand? What are some of things that you feel are most important, unique, special, etc?
I would like to be remembered as someone who, at some point, brought light into people’s lives and taught them practical tools to set in motion the life they dreamed, someone who contributed, even in a small way, to making their lives happier.
