Meet Dawn Stone
"I chose this work because unresolved workplace conflict nearly cost me my life. After suffering a stress-induced stroke from constant burnout, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, I realized my survival was a second chance—a calling to help others avoid the pain I experienced."
Today, my North Star is clear: empowering leaders and teams to address conflict with clarity, empathy, and courage, so no one else has to risk their health or happiness to succeed."

Growth
