Hi there, I'm Dawn

I’m a coach, leadership strategist, speaker, and writer helping women navigate work, leadership, calling, and what’s next—with faith at the center.


For more than 20 years, I worked behind the scenes alongside senior leaders in large churches and ministry organizations. I understand the pressure of supporting influential leaders, carrying responsibilities few people see, and trying to lead well without losing yourself in the process.


Today, I bring that experience into two areas of work:
I coach women who want greater clarity, confidence, and alignment in their careers, leadership, and next season.
And I equip Executive Assistants and leaders to build stronger working partnerships through coaching, cohorts, workshops, and practical resources.
I’m an ICF-certified coach, Working Genius Certified Facilitator, and READY Framework Certified Coach. My approach combines practical strategy, honest conversation, and Christian faith—because meaningful growth involves both who you are and how you work.
You don’t need more noise or generic advice. You need clarity about what matters, what needs to change, and how to move forward.

Career Development and Partnerships for Women

How I Help

I help women, Executive Assistants, and leaders navigate work, leadership, calling, and what’s next...with faith at the center.

For women, that may look like finding clarity in a season of transition, rebuilding confidence, or figuring out what they actually want now.

For Executive Assistants, it means becoming more strategic, confident, and effective in their role.

For leaders and organizations, I help strengthen the Executive + EA partnership so both people and the work can thrive.

We get honest about what isn’t working, identify what needs to change, and create a practical path forward.

No pretending. No vague inspiration.

Just honest conversations, practical strategy, and meaningful growth.

Faith in Jesus

The center of my life, my work, and how I try to show up in the world...even when life doesn’t make sense

My People and my Goldendoodle

My favorite people, my greatest support system, and Whitney..who is absolutely treated like a person.

Sailing

I live on a sailboat with my husband, which is equal parts beautiful, adventurous, and occasionally ridiculous.

Pilates

One of my favorite ways to feel strong, take care of myself, and quiet my very busy mind

The Beach

My happy place. Give me sunshine, salt water, sand, and a long walk by the ocean.

Music

My taste is all over the place...from worship music to ’80s classics and everything in between.

Reading

I love getting lost in a great book, especially historical fiction, although I’ll read almost anything that keeps me turning pages

Travel

I love seeing new places, experiencing different cultures, and collecting stories and memories along the way.
