Denlin Doty

"I am delighted to give a very strong reference for Denlin. I have known and worked with Denlin for many years and recommend her very highly for her deep commitment to the safety and well being of children and adults; her excellent skills in teaching, communicating, and organizing; her gifts of inspiring and guiding and leading management skills; her positive spirit, warmth, and kindness; her strong work ethic and ability to take and integrate feedback quickly."

"Denlin joined the Kidpower International team more than 15 years ago. I had the pleasure of being her supervisor for more than a decade of that time, and Denlin continues to be a valued, involved member of the Kidpower International community - even though at this stage in her life she pursues other activities for employment and income. Through our work together over many years, I have direct experience of Denlin as a teacher, as a workshop/event organizer, and as a strong member of our nonprofit's fundraising team. Denlin brings energy, creativity, caring, compassion, and deep, reflective intelligence to everything she takes on. She is a dynamic, engaging teacher for people of ALL ages and abilities - adults and teens as well as children. Most importantly, as a leader, Denlin can be counted on, without exception, to put emotional safety first. When people in her care demonstrate challenging behaviors, she upholds boundaries firmly and clearly - without ever being shaming, blaming, or punitive. She embodies trauma sensitive practices and so earns and retains the trust required for the most effective leadership. Any educational team will be stronger with Denlin among its ranks."
