She started her career as a recruiter after an unexpected job offer, and later ventured into her own consultancy. However, as her team grew, she realized her lack of leadership skills, which led to dysfunction and a toxic work environment.

Beyond the transformation within her team, Dom's personal life also experienced profound changes. Initially met with skepticism from her husband, he eventually joined her in seeking personal growth and improvement. Their relationship was renewed, with a sense of connection and excitement reminiscent of dating. Dom considers this change in her marriage to be the most significant in her life.
