“Dawn’s guidance led to breakthroughs in identifying the cause of and impact of my frustration and dissatisfaction at work. In addition to feeling more empowered, I have received positive feedback from my colleagues and others that has resulted in an increased level of confidence.”

“Dawn has been a great asset to me at various times over the years. She has served as a helpful thought partner in addressing various systems in our office. Dawn helped me address online scheduling, staffing issues and worked to streamline our workflow and processes to be more efficient. She is conscientious and thoughtful about understanding my perspective as well as my staff. Dawn has a unique way of looking at situations from a new and fresh perspective. The insights generated by our conversations have allowed me to address potential roadblocks before they arose and made transitions more smooth than they might have been. I recommend Dawn wholeheartedly to other entrepreneurs and small business owners.”

“I value the opportunity to have worked with Dawn in developing a framework for a large change initiative. Her in-depth questions and knowledge of both personal and organizational dynamics guided me in creating a change management strategy that was attuned to my strengths as a leader and to the culture of my department. This outcome was a direct result of Dawn’s strong skills in breaking complex initiatives into small actionable tasks. Dawn also provided me with many simple two- to three-step tools that I continue to use as I move other new initiatives forward. I enthusiastically recommend Dawn as a coach to other academic leaders.”

“As a trauma surgeon, I was well equipped to think quickly and make major decisions in the care of my patients. Interestingly, the traits that made me a successful surgeon often got in the way of my ability to successfully lead my team to meet our collective administrative goals. I was initially skeptical when asked to work with Dawn. Over time, I began to realize that her coaching is something I would have benefitted from ten years earlier. She is a great listener and was able to help me see things from a different perspective. She challenged me to look at my personal style from the viewpoint of my colleagues, nurses and support staff.
She then gave me some simple effective tools to help me accommodate these insights and today, I am a better leader for it. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dawn to both developing and established leaders in any organization.”
