As a Byron resident and long time friend of Dawn’s, I was happy to participate in a pilot workshop about exploring career changes in midlife. At the time I had been at a job for 18 years that I enjoyed and wasn’t thinking about making a change. The workshop was enlightening and started me thinking about new opportunities to use my talents. It took 9 months before I made the switch, but the confidence Dawn’s coaching instilled made the jump so much easier.

Working with Dawn was an amazing and truly transformative experience. When a mutual acquaintance recommended her, I wasn’t sure what I needed — I just knew I was stuck in an unhealthy cycle. Dawn and her Accelerator Program turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Through her intuitive guidance and supportive coaching, I became more self-aware and found the strength to face challenges in both my career and personal life. She helped me break old patterns and build a healthier, more empowered path forward. I now have tools I’ll carry with me for years to come. Investing in this work was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

The Midlife Women Career Coaching Program with Dawn came into my life at a time when I was really struggling to understand my role at work and feeling unsure of my path forward. I was overwhelmed and uncertain about how to align my career with my personal values and goals. Through Dawn’s insightful guidance and the program’s supportive structure, I reconnected with my confidence and gained clarity about what truly matters to me. This program is a true gift and a worthy investment in yourself at any stage in your life!

I had an amazing experience working with Dawn! Both the program and Dawn’s guidance were incredibly valuable. When I first found Dawn, I wasn’t sure what I needed, but it turned out that she and the program provided exactly what I was looking for. The program helped me become more self-aware, and gave me the strength and courage to face challenges both at work and in my personal life. I now have the tools to thrive in my career, and I truly see it as an investment in myself that will continue to pay off for years to come.

Going through transitions in life can be challenging and making the decision to completely change your career is downright scary. I knew I wanted to exit the corporate world and do something more meaningful but wasn't sure I had the courage to do so. As I've embarked on my plan to make my career dreams come true, it's been instrumental to have a coach to help me confront my fears, take an honest look at where I'm at and ultimately where I want to go. Dawn has been central in helping me see my unseen areas, set a course of action and implement decisions I have made because of our coaching.

I really enjoyed the program with Dawn. I learned a lot about myself and also had her support to make committed changes and action plans. Herself as a coach is wonderful, compassionate, and caring. I felt safe to explore things with her and have grown to trust her as a friend and guide while figuring out my career.

Dawn has all the qualities a woman needs to guide you to the next level! She is smart, positive, compassionate, resourceful and kind! My sessions with Dawn were filled with productive conversations on ideas and possibilities, followed by next steps. Because she excels at listening, Dawn has an uncanny ability to ask the right questions—the perfect questions to get to the next level. She brings a positive vibe, a warmth and genuine level of understanding and connectedness to each session. You are her priority and that is EMPOWERING! She has been instrumental in helping me define my future.
