WHAT I DO

WHAT I DO

Growth rarely stalls from lack of effort, it stalls from lack of clarity.

I help you step back, filter the noise, and focus on what will actually move the business forward. Then we align the priorities, people, and opportunities to support it.

Sometimes you need a roadmap.
Sometimes a long-term thinking partner.
Sometimes help evaluating opportunities in front of you.

That’s where I come in.

Often you already know where you want to go, you just need help mapping the path and putting it into motion. I help you build the roadmap, pressure-test the options, and stay with you through implementation so it doesn’t stall out.

Who I Work Best With

Leaders typically reach out when:

  • The business is busy but direction feels fuzzy

  • They’re carrying decisions alone

  • Opportunities keep coming but are hard to evaluate

  • The team depends on them too heavily

  • They want visibility, but strategically, not everywhere

  • They have an idea for what’s next but need help turning it into a clear, executable plan

About Me -
The Unique Connector

I’m Dawn known as The Unique Connector.

After 20+ years inside growth-driven organizations, I learned most leaders don’t need more advice, they need a place to think clearly and decide confidently.

I’ve worked in roles where sales, marketing, operations, people, and partnerships all intersect. That perspective allows me to connect the dots quickly- seeing patterns, gaps, and opportunities others miss- and help you focus on what will actually move the business forward.

Today I serve as a trusted advisor to business owners and leaders navigating growth, change, or new opportunity. Together we clarify direction, map the path forward, and activate the right relationships to support it - often in ways that are unique to you and your business, not a templated playbook.

My role isn’t to add more to your plate.
It’s to bring clarity, alignment, and thoughtful momentum so you can lead without carrying it alone.
