Looking for mentorship, strategic support, or a true partner in growth?

Maybe you need someone in your corner — a trusted ally who sees the bigger picture, connects the dots, and helps you make the strategic business moves that matter.

Why Work With Me:

I bring strategy + action — not just theory. Together, we map out where you need to go, and I help you take the steps to get there.

  • I provide trusted, vetted introductions — warm connections that save you time and lead to real opportunities.

  • I help you build strategic visibility — making sure you’re in the right rooms, seen by the right people, with the right message.

At the end of the day, I’m not here to add more to your plate. I’m here to help you grow faster, with clarity, confidence, and the right connections.

“I know I need to do the follow-up…”
I hear this all the time — and it’s why I created The Connection Catalyst.

Instead of letting follow-up sit on your to-do list (and weigh on you), I’ll support you in getting it done while also meeting new, trusted connections to add to your rolodex.

The Connection Catalyst is your spark for building purposeful connections, twice a month.

This isn’t just another virtual call. It’s where strategy meets sincerity — and where you’ll take action before you log off.

  • Fresh connections you can trust

  • New momentum to carry into your next opportunity

About Me — The Unique Connector


I’m Dawn aka The Unique Connector. I help leaders grow revenue, visibility, and trusted relationships by connecting the dots and opening the right doors.

With 20+ years across wealth management, construction, IT staffing, and leadership, I know what it’s like to wear all the hats. In one role alone, I juggled sales, business development, client service, marketing, elite events, branding, operations, podcasting, and partnerships — and learned how to make them work together.

But here’s what I also learned: trying to do it all alone comes at a cost. I nearly ran myself into the ground. That’s why I’m passionate about helping others approach growth more strategically — bringing both insight and oversight so you don’t burn out chasing every opportunity.

Today, as a Fractional BDO and Relationship Growth Partner, I bring a full 360° perspective — blending strategy, visibility, and connections to help leaders fast track growth and make the right business moves.

Business owners and executives hire me because I’ve sat in their seat. I know the pressure, the competing priorities, and the opportunities that come from having the right ally in your corner.

Maybe You’re Craving an Adventure Instead?

Well—I do that, too.

I take leaders out of the boardroom and into powerful places where strategy, connection, and clarity come together.
Because sometimes, the best growth happens off the grid.

Curious where adventure, connection, and strategy can take you?

Curious to see me in action - or looking for an opportunity to meet me?
