Hi, I’m Dawn

Workplace Culture Strategist & Leadership Keynote Speaker on Organizational Wellbeing

I’m Dawn — a Workplace Culture Strategist and leadership keynote speaker on organizational wellbeing, burnout prevention, ethical and inclusive leadership, and workplace culture transformation. I’m the founder of The Dawn Lab and creator of the RESET Method, a public-health-informed leadership methodology designed to rebuild leadership capacity, engagement, and sustainable workplace culture in modern organizations.

I’m also a scientist, lawyer, book lover, advocate, and avid yogi — among many other things. I believe life is too rich and complex to be defined by your job title. That’s why Work Is Third isn’t just a podcast — it’s a philosophy and a movement. Through The Dawn Lab and Work Is Third, I help people and organizations reclaim what truly matters: wellbeing, boundaries, and cultures of care. Because boundaries aren’t walls — they’re bridges to healthier relationships, safer workplaces, and stronger communities. When people feel safe and supported, everything around them thrives.

ABOUT THE LOGO

One of my most fulfilling workplace experiences was when I was in a microbiologist in the Lim Lab at the University of South Florida. While my path didn't have me leading my own research team, The Dawn Lab is a parallel experience to foster creativity and innovation and cultivate laws, policies, and practices to support our individual and collective wellbeing. The logo is a sun, as a play on my name, and a flask, as a callback to a transformative time in my life. I hope you will join me and explore what we can create together.
