Jean Dorff is an international speaker, coach, and author whose work spans narrative transformation, somatic intelligence, and voice-based orientation. With over two decades of experience, his work supports individuals, leaders, and organizations in understanding how internal states influence behavior, decision-making, and personal direction.

As the founder of The Empowering Story and the Voice Intelligence framework, Jean focuses on restoring agency and clarity through coaching and embodied awareness rather than diagnosis or therapy. His approach integrates precise language, reflective inquiry, and practical frameworks that translate complex inner processes into accessible, real-world applications.

In addition to his coaching background, Jean is a professional dancer and dance educator, a discipline that deeply informs his somatic perspective. This embodied knowledge allows him to work beyond purely cognitive models, helping people recognize how the body signals readiness, resistance, and alignment long before these are consciously articulated.

As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and the author of the bestselling book Broken Silence: Living with Passion and Purpose after Sexual Abuse, Jean brings authenticity without sensationalism to his speaking. His talks explore themes such as state-based identity, post-traumatic growth, ethical leadership, and sustainable performance, resonating with audiences who value depth, integrity, and grounded transformation over motivational rhetoric.
