“Clients tell me all the time that they feel more connected, more informed, and more confident because of those little touchpoints. It’s a way to educate, stay visible, and reinforce that I’m here for them – not just at review meetings, but all year round”

As a founding member of WOW! (Women. Opportunity. Winning.), an employee resource group created for all women of Ryan Specialty, Phillips Topping has long championed for women in the industry.
“It’s very important to set an example and to not only inspire but mentor other females,” she adds.
In addition to her sharp marketing eye, the key to Phillips Topping’s success lies in her high-energy approach and positive attitude.
“As the leader of a team, it’s important to motivate and encourage your team members. People work very hard and do their best and it’s important to recognize these efforts. For my career overall, my attitude has been one of curiosity. The more you can learn, the better you’ll understand the business, and then the deeper your knowledge will become, making you a better team member.”

Despite facing industry biases, such as being mistaken for an assistant at events, she refused to let female stereotypes define her. Instead, she’s built a thriving network of women advisors and found a strong ally in Harbour Investments, which supports her growth as a leader, business owner, and mother.
Client satisfaction isn’t measured in Dorn’s office by closing ratios or one-time feedback – it’s reflected in loyalty, longevity, and referrals. Her communications strategy features handwritten and even hand-drawn birthday cards because in her words, “the little things matter”.
Another offering is short videos delivered a few times per month, providing quick updates on market changes, financial tips, or just simple reassurance during uncertain times.
She explains, “Clients tell me all the time that they feel more connected, more informed, and more confident because of those little touchpoints. It’s a way to educate, stay visible, and reinforce that I’m here for them – not just at review meetings, but all year round.”
Empowerment is an ambition of Dorn’s, believing that financial education leads to strong communities. However, she only works with individuals who match her values.
“I also don’t take on every prospective client who walks through the door. I’m intentional about making sure it’s a good fit on both sides,” she adds. “My clients are more like family, and I want to make sure I can provide real value to them. That means listening closely, being transparent, and never overpromising.”
