About Lorraine Taylor
Helping people navigate identity, reinvention, and personal branding in a rapidly changing world.
For more than 15 years, Lorraine Taylor has helped people better understand who they are, how they want to show up, and how to build meaningful work and lives aligned with who they are becoming.
Through DO Brand YOU, her work brings together coaching, identity development, personal branding, education, and lived experience to help people navigate change, transition, growth, and reinvention with greater clarity and confidence.
The work didn’t begin with personal branding alone.
Over time, her experiences in education, international living, coaching, technology, and community building led to a series of deeper questions:
• How do we stay connected to who we are in a world changing faster than many people feel prepared for?
• How do we continue growing and evolving without losing our sense of self?
• What does meaningful work and contribution look like across different seasons of life?
• How do we help people move from uncertainty and self-doubt toward clarity, confidence, and purposeful action?
• And how do we help children develop identity, belonging, and emotional resilience in an increasingly complex world?
Helping people navigate change without losing themselves in the process.
Identity and belonging through a culturally blended lens
As Lorraine’s work continued to evolve, one area became increasingly personal and impossible to ignore - the experience of identity and belonging for children growing up across cultures.
After years of international teaching, global living, and raising her own culturally blended family, deeper questions emerged about home, belonging, transition, narrative identity, and the emotional complexity many globally mobile children quietly navigate.
These conversations eventually led to a mother-daughter collaboration with Ashley Taylor and the co-authored book Where Are You From? - an exploration of identity, belonging, and growing up in a culturally blended world.
Today, this work is central to Lorraine's speaking, coaching, writing, and course development.
Inside the DO Community
At the heart of the DO Community are connection, belonging and contribution. It's a place where people come together to share experiences, explore ideas, learn from one another and build meaningful connections through different seasons of life.
There are many ways to participate. Members can take part in the DO Book Club, led by members; enjoy special sessions created and hosted by members; and join live podcast conversations with our guests after each recording.
The community is also home to the DO Signature Series, three guided workshops throughout the year.
What makes the community special is that it isn't just about what Lorraine brings to it. It's about what members bring to one another. Everyone has experiences, perspectives and insights worth sharing. It's a place where people can contribute, feel they belong and continue growing alongside others.
The DO Community also includes dedicated private spaces for particular programmes and groups, providing additional connection and support for Parenting Course participants, coaching clients and Inner Circles.
“It’s become an anchor point for me throughout the year.”
"It's not just about attending an event. It's about staying connected and continuing the conversation."
"A place where I feel welcome, included and part of something meaningful."
“Because it’s an online community, it is easily accessible from anywhere. I often join sessions while I am travelling.”
Connection, conversation and a place to belong.
"I love that members bring their own ideas, experiences and interests to the community."
“The DO Community feels thoughtful, safe, and genuinely supportive.”
There’s no single version of who we are
Over the years, people have come to know Lorraine in many different ways — as a teacher, coach, speaker, writer, community builder, podcast host, parent, collaborator, and thoughtful conversation partner.
And perhaps that’s part of what shaped this work in the first place.
There’s rarely one fixed version of who we are.
Different environments, seasons of life, relationships, cultures, and experiences often bring different parts of us forward. Our identity continues to evolve throughout life. Much of Lorraine’s work is grounded in helping people navigate that complexity with greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding.
At the heart of DO Brand YOU is a belief that growth does not require becoming someone entirely different. Often, it begins by reconnecting with what already matters most.
