Empowering leaders. Strengthening systems.
At Dolan Research International, we offer recovery-friendly solutions through workforce development, expert training, leadership coaching, and consulting. Our programs help people and organizations grow their skills, lead with impact, and advance recovery.
Our Services.
Dolan is a doctor’s office for business.
We treat organizational health the way a physician treats a patient—by listening closely, identifying root causes, and designing care that leads to real, lasting change. Our approach is relational, strategic, and designed to hold under pressure. Whether we’re working with a team of three or a statewide system, our focus stays the same: build what’s needed, and build it to last.
Our work is built around four key pillars. Each one mirrors a vital checkup you’d expect in medicine, because just like the human body, your organization relies on interconnected systems to survive—and thrive.
When your systems are aligned, your environment is healthy, your leaders are grounded, and your people are supported—your mission has the power to go further than ever before.
-
The systems checkup. We examine the inner workings of your organization—its structure, policies, and cultural DNA. From operational clarity to mission alignment, we diagnose what’s working and offer real-world strategies to strengthen what’s not.
-
The environmental health screen.
We create conditions where your people can breathe. Whether that means fostering recovery-friendly practices, reducing burnout, or reimagining belonging, we help you shape workplaces that care for the people inside them. -
The executive functioning exam.
We support leaders in building the emotional intelligence, clarity, and courage it takes to lead today. Because when your leaders are resilient, aligned, and accountable, everyone else moves better too. -
The vital signs of your organization.
Your people are the heartbeat. We train, uplift, and equip them—whether they’re peer professionals, providers, or support staff—so they can lead, grow, and stay well for the long haul.

“You can't teach facilitators how to deliver, it is a gift and Johanna and Kris absolutely nailed it!! The content though heavy at times due to its realness was covered in a way that kept our class engaged and on our toes every day!! Not only did it foster new partnerships and connections, we all were able to walk away with a greater appreciation for our need as RESOURCE BROKERS, driven with passion and respect for our work in the field!! Thank you!!”

“Johanna's innate talent of connection is absolutely amazing! She knows, understands, and embodies connections and relationships. These serve her well as she connects people to others that can help in different scenarios. She is passionate and compassionate with a goal to help others. In my experience with Johanna she is multifaceted and has a talent of enhancing organizations and building structure. She can speak in large and small settings very confidently. Johanna has been a pleasure to get to know and learn from in our working together.”

“For me, it comes down to trust. Dolan doesn’t just show up with a plan—they show up with care, with curiosity, and with a real willingness to build something that works for your team. I’ve seen them hold space for hard conversations, adapt when things shift, and still keep momentum moving. It never feels performative—it feels like partnership.”
