Joe Dorfman, Director and Co-Founder of Achievers Australia
Joe Dorfman is regarded as one of Australia’s leading business coaches and mentors.
Utilising his extensive experience in business and as a qualified commercial lawyer Joe has a unique ability to empathise with his clients from a business owner’s perspective, and counsels and guides them on how to deal with and overcome their key challenges.
A dynamic and inspirational communicator, Joe facilitates the The Power of Focus Coaching Program in Australia and is regularly asked to comment on business issues in the national media.
Migrating to Melbourne with his family from South Africa in 1989, Joe secured employment as a commercial business lawyer in a leading firm. However, within three years of arriving in Australia with no network of contacts Joe took the bold step of establishing his own commercial and business law practice, taking a group of clients with him.

The move was made even bolder by the fact that Australia was in a recession at this stage, however, the practice flourished and Joe ultimately built up a sizeable city-based firm with a team of specialist lawyers.
Joe’s “heart, soul and passion’’ is making a difference in people’s lives and helping them grow and go to the next level, particularly in relation to business.
Out of his legal training, he has a special ability to listen and understand the issues, and positively contribute to turning those around and helping people deal with their business and personal challenges.
The great strength of The Power of Focus Coaching methodolgies, Joe says, is the unique structure of the program and its content, and the follow-through that enables participants to stay on track and implement the processes they learn and the habits they develop.
Joe, a former District level cricketer in South Africa and a single figure golfer, talks with hundreds of business owners and executives on an ongoing basis about focussing their skills and energies to achieve the desired outcomes both in business and their personal lives.
He is also a director of Business Network International, and was an office bearer at the Australia South Africa Business Association, where he was part of an Australian trade delegation to South Africa with the then Federal Trade Minister, Mark Vaile.
