Dawn is the most effective personal coach I have had the pleasure to work with. Her calm demeanour and razor sharp insight have helped me enormously.  Stuart Smith, Hill and Knowlton (Head of Corporate Practice, Europe, Middle East & Africa)   

Welcome! I’m a trained Business and Personal Coach working with national and international clients on a wide range of issues.  I work with business start-ups and major corporate clients alike as well as individual personal clients. My coaching sessions are warm, insightful and fun but always pack a punch.

As a coach, my job is to help you get what you want out of your professional and personal life. I help you:

• see what you want more clearly
• identify the steps you need to take to get where you want to go
• feel supported and encouraged along the way
• keep on track so you achieve everything you want to achieve

Start-ups and corporate clients come to me when they want crystal clear strategies for business development. These include working towards setting and achieving focused and measurable goals, problem solving and using social media such as Twitter to promote brand awareness and increase revenue. I also work with clients on developing leadership and management skills.

Achieving goals is a big part of my work with corporate and individual clients. If you’ve tried and failed to achieve all you’ve wanted to achieve in the past, I can help. I coach on a wide range of issues including:

• Getting a new job
• Changing career
• Moving on from redundancy
• Starting a business
• Becoming healthier – losing weight and getting in shape
• Writing a novel
• Getting out of a rut
• Achieving more work/life balance

I specialise in coaching my clients through change. I know what it's like to live and work through big change and transformation. I've moved country three times, the last time while expecting my first child, retrained for a second career and successfully navigated my way through career transition, from a former staff writer for a business digest in Hong Kong, to the editor of glossy lifestyle magazines in Asia, making the leap to TV before becoming a trained coach.

I’m a former business producer for the BBC and CNN, producing the business news on BBC1’s Breakfast programme for seven years and CNN’s  Business International and Asian Business News. I like to tell my clients that the unknown is a doorway not a cliff. In other words, the reality of change is a lot less scary than our imaginations may tell us.

I regularly update my blog, Change Your Life (a little bit at a time) so please subscribe to my feeds if you'd like to keep up to date with what I'm up to. For articles, useful links and (hopefully) some inspiration, please sign up for my newsletter at the top of the page. And I tweet! So you can also follow me on Twitter.
