Our Story

The Essence of ithrive 31

ithrive31, a coaching and personal development company, is founded on principles of action planning, personal accountability, and whole person well-being.

The Whole Picture

As individuals, we determine our own direction. Personal accountability and responsibility for one’s own growth and development is a core element of ithrive31 coaching and personal development programs.

Everything we do is driven by the mission of helping individuals thrive—in the workplace and in the home. Because individuals are not one-dimensional, neither is our coaching. Each program is custom-designed for success.

We believe personal success grows when individuals set realistic goals, experience immediate progress, and create momentum for continued success. Our programs follow a results-oriented 31-day planning process to drive rapid results and empower progress.

Business-oriented and human-centered, founder and head coach Dorene MacVey combines workplace experience and passion to unleash human potential.
