Seattle’s Dorothy Bullitt is a business, non-profit, philanthropic, and community leader who’s had six different careers in her working life, and she’ll tell you each one made her better.

Dorothy comes from a well-known family that helped build Seattle from the ground up, but her family decided early on that service, not privilege, would define them.

Dorothy’s view of work is centered on what it does for the world and what it does to challenge and grow us as individuals.

Her many careers, from lawyer to non-profit CEO to university lecturer, prove that stepping out of your vocational comfort zone might be the best thing you can do to lead a rich and rewarding life.
