In this inspiring episode of Behind the Curtain: Nashville’s Movers, Shakers & Tastemakers, hosts Steve Luther and Van Hohe sit down with Doris Dunn—founder of Dunn Wise Consulting, leadership coach, corporate veteran, community champion, and lifelong Red Cross advocate.

Doris brings more than 30 years of corporate experience in learning & development, marketing, community relations, and culture-building to her coaching practice. She shares how her early passion for teaching began at age 14 as a Red Cross volunteer, why she left the corporate world to launch Dunn Wise, and how she now helps small and mid-sized businesses turn vision into reality through strategic planning, accountability, DISC facilitation, and leadership development.

The conversation also takes a heartfelt turn as Doris recounts the serendipitous moment she met Steve and his wife, Ashley, and how Ashley’s powerful Red Cross story led her to join the Tiffany Circle—an elite global network of women committed to philanthropy and humanitarian impact.

From mindset and resilience to culture and community, this episode is a masterclass in leading with clarity, compassion, and purpose—all delivered through Doris’s warmth, humor, and signature storytelling.

• 🌱 How Early Service Shaped a Career in Leadership Doris began teaching first aid to children as a teenager and later grew into corporate leadership roles that taught her culture, marketing, HR, design, community relations, and more—skills she now brings directly into her coaching practice.
• 🧭 Why Businesses Get “Stuck” & How Coaching Fuels Growth Doris explains how vision casting, forward-thinking, strategic planning, and accountability help business owners move from stagnation to measurable progress—especially when they’re too busy working in the business to work on it.
• ❤️ The Power of Listening, Culture & Engagement She shares insights on employee engagement, the importance of truly hearing your team, and why culture surveys only help if leaders act on what they learn.
• 🩸 Red Cross, Tiffany Circle & A Life-Changing Story Doris tells the emotional story of meeting Ashley Luther, how Ashley’s blood donation saved Steve’s life, and why that moment led her to join the Red Cross Tiffany Circle.

"Imagine it's the year 2030… Now let me help you get there." — Doris Dunn
