Arshad Ibrahim, Vice President, Strategic Development & technology
I came to Dawn at a time when I was unsure about next steps in my career development, and needed someone to help me find direction. Dawn was able to quickly focus me, provide insight into possibilities I hadn’t thought of, and inspiration to begin looking for something new. Dawn helped me identify my key strengths, and taught me how to highlight and showcase those skills and assets when I spoke to perspective employers.
This really helped me to build confidence in my abilities and worth, and helped inspire me to shoot for opportunities I would not have otherwise. She provided me with effective, real world tactics for handling conversations with current leaders, and with recruiters.
I really feel like I’ve been able to level up in my career in large part due to Dawn’s coaching. Her years of executive level leadership at large corporations have given her an incredible toolkit of skills that can be leveraged to provide advice to those in almost any role. I cannot recommend her services enough.

Anne Marie Sklar, Senior Director, Conference & Events
Working with Dawn has been a transformative experience for me. Her tailored coaching style, which encourages deep self-reflection, resonated profoundly and allowed me to uncover and address key areas for personal and professional growth. Her approach is not a one-size-fits-all; instead she customizes her guidance to fit my unique needs.
Dawn’s extensive leadership experience was invaluable as she has walked the path herself and understands the challenges and opportunities that come with leadership roles. This background enabled her to share a diverse range of strategies and anecdotes on achieving success, including direction on where to best focus my efforts.
Thanks to her coaching I have gained clarity and confidence in my path forward. I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking to elevate their leadership skills and unlock their full potential.
Cheryl, Director of Business Architecture
Working with Dawn has been an absolute game-changer for me. Her incredible intuition and authentic approach made me feel truly seen in every session. She has this unique way of reflecting back what I’ve said that allows me to process it in a completely new light, often uncovering perspectives I hadn’t considered.
When I first started coaching with Dawn, I had just been promoted to a leadership role after making a career change to a different industry. I wasn’t as confident, which is why I had initially chosen to stay in an individual contributor role. I also felt unsure if I was ready to lead again as a mother of a toddler. I had been in the leadership role for about six months, and by month ten, with Dawn’s guidance, I was promoted again. Dawn helped me hone my leadership skills and, more importantly, get out of my own way. She gave me the confidence to trust my skills and advocate for myself—ultimately leading to securing a mentor within my company.
As a woman, a mom, and a person of color, I always felt fully seen and heard by Dawn. She truly listened to me, helped me strategize, and empowered me to move forward in my career in a way that felt authentic to who I am. Her coaching gave me the tools to trust and listen to my inner voice, and her sense of humor made the journey feel light even when we tackled the tough stuff.
Dawn created a safe space where I could show up with my authentic feelings and not feel the need to mask them. This helped me get to the root of situations and solve them effectively. I feel incredibly blessed to have had her as my coach—I am a better woman, mother, and leader because of her. Dawn’s ability to guide, challenge, and uplift is unmatched, and I am grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life.
Sharilyn Chavez, Sales Leader
My coaching sessions with Dawn came at a point of transition for me. I had recently completed my MBA and was considering where I wanted to take my career next. Our sessions provided a dedicated space where I could reflect on my personal career goals and set actionable targets that would contribute to my growth.
Dawn’s approachability created a space where I felt safe opening up about my career goals and speaking candidly about my growth areas. She asked thoughtful questions and provided insights drawn from her extensive professional experience that prompted reflection and action. By building a practice of reflection and accountability, my work with Dawn helped me navigate a job transition, improved confidence in my leadership skills, and positioned me to advance strategically in my career. Dawn approaches her coaching practice with care, thoughtfulness, and professionalism. To anyone considering Executive Coaching, I could not recommend Dawn more! I can’t wait to work with her again.
Colleen M, Manager of information management
Working with Dawn has really allowed me to unlock behaviors and habits that are helping me drive to my goals. She’s pushed me by asking great questions that really force me to dig deep and reflect on my goals and what they mean to me. She also brings so much insight into each session, many of which I carry with me in my day to day, highlighting her impact on getting me to actively think about goals rather than point-in-time reflection. The experience has really changed how I think about my aspirations in a manner that doesn’t feel cumbersome or laborious.
