Welcome to this section of my website where clients have shared authentically about their coaching experience. I have their permission to include their description as a testimonial. As a coach credentialed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) I agree to and follow the ICF's Code of Ethics. I am committed to client confidentiality therefore only client initials are provided with these testimonials. Upon request, I can provide a name and contact information of someone to talk with about their coaching experience. On the Mentor Coach tab of my website, those clients have agreed to have their names on my website. You are welcome to reach out to them via LinkedIn. Warmest Regards, Dawn


🌼 “Working with Coach Dawn has helped me get grounded, develop self-knowledge and determine goals. My work with her has included moving homes, creating wills, finding ways to reduce my workload and asking for things I need from others. I have worked with her over two different periods of time. I keep returning because it helps me have clarity on my next steps and better follow through.


I am grateful for her awareness and her training. I have recommended her to friends.” - C.B. (Director Position and Newly Retired in June 2025)


 

📕 "Dawn's coaching style has been effective for me because she: asks questions that generate thought-provoking answers, which then lead me to seek greater understanding of my motivations and needs; reflects back to me how central my connections with others are when I describe a situation; and highlights the priorities that emerge from the conversation. 


I appreciate that Dawn empowers me - through a mix of encouragement and reassurance - to pursue the goals that we identify together." 

- K.B. (Educator and Learning Specialist)


 

🌟 " I'm so grateful for the opportunity I had to coach with Dawn! She provided an incredibly supportive, safe, and grounding space to process how I was feeling and decide on next steps. 


I appreciate that Dawn asks powerful questions, is nonjudgmental, and genuinely cares. I especially appreciated our first session when she helped me think through a plan for our time together and what success would look like, as I was going through a particularly uncertain time in my work as an entrepreneur. 


Dawn's gentle guidance and partnership helped me remember that oftentimes, it's more about coming back to a state of presence rather than trying to "figure it out."

Dawn's coaching was invaluable in helping me trust myself as I navigated an uncertain time in my business. She supported me in speaking up for myself, growing confidence as a newer small business owner, and serving more people than ever before. 


Highly recommend working with Dawn!"

- M.W. (Coach, Meditation Teacher, Speaker) 



❤️ “I have worked with Dawn for many years, and I would not be where I am today in my work and my life if it wasn’t for her consistent, deeply insightful coaching! 


I highly recommend her to others who are looking to grow either in their personal development or in their work situations. Dawn’s coaching equipped me as I walked through many big changes in my life: adoption, leaving the corporate world, starting my own business, and so much more. I keep my ongoing coaching sessions because her coaching helps me be organized around what matters most to me. She helps me shift my perspective to gain new insights. 


And through her support, I’ve learned to navigate and enjoy my life more, whether it’s an “up” or a “down” part of the journey.” 

- J.H.D. (Parent of two teenagers, Business Owner, Workshop Presenter, Author)


Coaching Session Information

Schedule an exploratory conversation

What to Expect: During our coaching sessions, I will bring deep listening, curiosity, and thought-provoking questions. I may offer an opportunity to pause and settle with a moment of silence and breath. We will identify strategies and tools to shift what is not working into what does work specific to you. I will encourage the use of action steps which may include having me as an accountability partner to support focus, follow through, and feeling positive.


As a credentialed coach by The International Coaching Federation (ICF), I use their definition:  "coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential." Please go to the About & Resources tab for the ICF website link.

Attention to Goals and Competency-Based Outcomes: Many possibilities exist for areas of attention. We are always growing, changing, and being influenced by our past, present, and what we desire for the future. I suggest picking two areas of attention that matter most to you right now. Refer to the above Meaningful Client Results and Testimonials section for examples of areas clients choose to focus on in coaching.

Accountability and Encouragement: Customized check-ins are offered between coaching sessions. These are brief emails that support accountability, share information, and offer encouragement.

Important Clarifying Information: My coaching practice 

does not include psychotherapy or consulting services.  

Upon request, I am happy to refer you to a coach offering multiple services.

During our exploratory conversation we will learn about each other and talk specifically about what has you curious about including coaching in your life at this time.

Examples from real people

Reconnecting With What Really Matters to Me | Feeling Empowered

  • I want to keep front and center living my life's purpose.
  • I am an entrepreneur and I own my own business. There are many moving parts, weighty expectations, and never enough time in the day.
  • My work and my family are both important to me. The days go too fast.
  • I want to have personal wellbeing while also working on and achieving my professional goals.


Feeling Stuck and Overwhelmed | Seeking Insights, Understanding, and Clarity

  • I feel stuck in several areas in my life. A friend told me coaching helps.
  • I am in a leadership role that is very important to me. However, I feel stuck and am worried about changing jobs or talking with my boss about a lateral move in the company given all the layoffs.
  • I am in a new position and am experiencing a new type of hard. How can coaching help?
  • I get pulled in so many directions. What I really want is not getting done.
  • I have to do it all. Delegating seems to not work for me. I'm stuck.
  • I like my job. However, I don't like the morale at work. I have to figure out what to do and what matters most to me.
  • I feel overwhelmed all the time at work and at home. I work all the time and have no time for what I really want to do. I want to get unstuck. Can working with a coach help? How? Will you tell me what to do differently?
  • I am autistic. I want to work with a coach who will learn to understand me and who will help me gain more insights about understanding myself. I have goals and want support. I can make progress on my goals if I have the consistency of coaching sessions to look forward to. I want to learn about a possible coaching partnership. A friend told me about coaching so I want to learn more.


Habit Nature | Focus | Experiencing Long Term Change

  • I have ADHD. For me that means I go in too many directions which causes lack of follow through, focus, reliability, and thoroughness. My therapist recommended working with a coach.
  • I struggle with Executive Function skills and want to work with a coach privately as I don't want my employer to know about my struggles.
  • Procrastination leads to being stuck in areas of my work and life. I am ready to understand my habits that do not serve me. I am ready to change my habits. I heard from a friend that she designs experiments in her coaching sessions. What does that mean? I might want to try that.


Support During Transitions | Change as Opportunity for Learning and Growth

  • I am experiencing a transition from one job to another and feel out of sorts. I am also moving. That is another transition added to everything.
  • I have a few more years to work and then I will finally retire. I find it hard to stay engaged in my work while I anticipate leaving in a few years. I actually like my job and am not rushing to retire. I am also excited about retiring. I want to stay true to my employer and to myself.
