Comments from those who have worked with Dossy:

"Dossy, based on my superb experience working with you to coach me for my Stage Source auditions, I realized that your many talents could be valuable to business executives and others who would like to develop their skills with regard to public presentations to any groups, large and small. Your exquisite sensitivity to each person's strengths and your ability to bring them step-by-logical-step to precisely where they need to be is a powerful recommendation to such folks. The comfortable way you work with people would be appreciated by men and women in the corporate, educational, legal, etc worlds. I hope you'll feel free to use me as reference at any time."

"I am an artist who has no experience in front of an audience or a camera. Having completed a four year portraiture project called Boston Faces, I realized how unprepared I was for the media coverage that would be connected with my exhibit at the Boston Public Library. With a schedule that included television, radio, and newspaper interviews as well as speaking engagements, I sought the coaching help of Dossy Peabody. What initially impressed me about Dossy was the manner in which she readily comprehended the nature of my project and went right to the heart of what I needed to know and learn. I was coached on various aspects of presentation and given a broad and accurate idea of what to expect. Over the course of three sessions, Dossy covered all of the questions I would eventually face, gently advising me on how to be precise, what would interest the public, and ways to respond to different types of interviewers. I found myself relaxing under her inspired guidance to the point where my reluctance turned to anticipation. The results were terrific! I was ready and able to overcome my innate shyness to enjoy the entire process. There is no question that I would have been awkward and uncomfortable without Dossy's coaching, for which I am most grateful."

"Dossy's coaching was invaluable to me and something rare. Her approach combined equal doses of critical insight, supportiveness, and an amazing intuition for both what feels real, and what's dramatically interesting. Plus she's a delight to work with."

"I feel like I'm being fed when I go to a coaching session with Dossy. Her encouragement is never-ending, her feedback is always constructive and supportive, and the safety she has created in the rehearsal studio enables me to forget about my inner critic and charge ahead in performance. Dossy is truly a remarkable teacher and coach."
