Coaching others to shine

"Dawn is an excellent professional wordsmith who also grows effective writing and presentation skills in others keen to develop. I had the pleasure to work with Dawn over many years at Toastmasters International and observe her coach others to blossom and shine."

- Marlene Shepherd

A NATURAL-BORN TEACHER

Dawn is insightful, warm, and highly professional. Much of what I know about public speaking, I owe to Dawn. From crafting a compelling message to presenting with presence: her approach is always well-considered. In addition to being a skilled communicator, she is a natural-born teacher.

GENUINELY CARES ABOUT PEOPLE: English as a second language

“I don’t think I could have found a better mentor than Dawn who is always warm and caring. She is a great listener and communicator.

“When I talk to Dawn, I can feel that she genuinely cares about people. I feel I am being accepted and I am less nervous, as English is not my mother tongue.

“Dawn is such a wonderful storyteller; she can make any topic into an interesting speech. From her, I learnt how to choose simple, yet, precise words to express myself effectively and smoothly. She naturally attracts her audience’s attention and connects with them which, I think, is due to a combination of talent, empathy, and a long-time training in words.”

LEARNT SO MANY THINGS

“Dawn is an incredibly talented and skilful author, speechwriter and speaker. Through the many years spent at my Toastmasters club I have learnt so many things by simply watching her communicate and coach many in our club.”

- Niki Banerjee

Thoughtful feedback

“Dawn has been very supportive while reviewing the many, many speeches and presentations I have delivered in various settings. She has guided me through the process by providing thoughtful feedback and suggesting techniques that have helped me improve my speechcraft.”
