Growth & Development Consulting by August Consulting Group

Dairesse Torres is the founder of August Consulting Group, an author, and a growth-focused coach with over 20 years of experience in financial advisor development, working alongside private wealth advisors and professional service teams. 

Her career has been rooted in managing and growing advisory practices, supporting private wealth advisors in expanding their client base while strengthening internal operations and developing high-performing teams. Dairesse has overseen practice management, leadership development, and team growth, firmly believing that the most effective growth is organic, sustainable, and built from within. 

She believes that when advisors create the right internal environment—clear systems, aligned culture, engaged teams, and exceptional client experiences—growth happens naturally through trust, retention, and referrals. Rather than relying solely on external pressure or short-term tactics, her growth-focused coaching emphasizes building strong foundations that support long-term success. 

In addition to her work with advisors, Dairesse brings extensive experience in employment coaching and resume writing, helping individuals clearly articulate their value, strengthen first impressions, and confidently navigate career transitions. 

Dairesse is also an author, creating journals, workbooks, and intentional growth tools designed to support reflection, clarity, and forward momentum. Her writing reflects her belief that meaningful progress happens when mindset and practical action work together.

Each coaching program Dairesse offers was developed from real-world experience—not theory. Smooth Groove n’ Growth Development Coaching was created as a growth-focused coaching initiative to help financial advisors grow their client base without sacrificing culture, service, or sustainability. The program blends mindset development with practical execution to support organic growth through strong relationships, consistent processes, and empowered teams. Adulteen Coaching reflects Dairesse’s passion for supporting teens and young adults during critical life transitions. This program focuses on confidence-building, decision-making, and practical life skills to help young adults step into independence with clarity and purpose. 3-to-7 Seconds First Impression Employment Coaching is rooted in Dairesse’s experience in hiring, onboarding, and employment coaching. This program helps individuals understand how quickly impressions are formed and how to show up prepared, confident, and aligned with their goals.

At the core of Dairesse’s work is a guiding belief: growth is not accidental—it is intentional. Through employment coaching, financial advisor development, and growth-focused coaching, when mindset, environment, and action align, sustainable success follows.
