Dawn’s Speaker Themes

Dawn is regularly asked to speak at events and contribute articles to a variety of publications to share her extensive experience, particularly in the areas of culture change, ED&I (equity, diversity and inclusion) and personal resilience. Dawn also shares her personal experiences and advice based on the challenges she has faced as result of being a working female and mum in a male dominated corporate world and, based on this, how businesses can learn to become more appealing to women, other under represented groups and tackle any outdated senior leadership behaviours.
