As a child of immigrants in rural New Jersey who never felt she quite belonged anywhere, Dawn Smith embraced connecting with any and all on the fringes. In her 20s, she undertook a range of work, including theatre and documentary work, ran Vermont's first internet cafe and community centre and launched a violence prevention youth centre.
However, all the changes left her exhausted and needing to face the ADD and anxiety that held her back from finding her anchor. This led Dawn to delve into researching how humans can navigate major change and learn the importance of embracing risk in a strategic way.
A decade ago, Dawn launched Whole Life Solutions to support other professionals in finding their deeper alignment, navigating major change and realising broad-scale impact. Dawn has since spoken at events across the country, with clients including VISTAGE, Creative Mornings, UNICEF and more.
