Introduction

“you can choose courage or YOU CAN CHOOSE comfort - but you cannot HAVE both”.

- Brené Brown

Hi I’m Dawn Mari, I’m a Speaker, Podcast Host & High Performance Coach.

I’m also a former C-level executive in Finance (Private Equity & Hedge Funds), a solo remote travel addict, a Georgetown Law Grad, a David who picks fights with Goliaths, a midnight dancer, a sunset swimmer and a Mom to Monty, my Drag Queen Lhasa Apso.

My unconventional life has led me to build to a BOLD, unconventional platform.

My mission is to INSPIRE CHANGE. To provide effective mindset frameworks, performance strategies and raw stories of courage and grit that will inspire others who feel completely trapped by their life choices. My purpose? To catalyze RAPID PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION in others so that they can live with more FREEDOM, joy, & kick *ssery.

What They Are Saying

  • "Dawn is an invaluable wealth of knowledge on all things personal development, transformation and start-ups – from which podcasts to listen to, to which books to read, to which masterminds might be a right fit and from meditation, to mindset, to movement to micro-habits to journaling prompts and techniques – she really lives and breathes this space. Her ENDLESS energy is uplifting and her questions challenging, inspiring and wise. She is a total gem with a huge heart and passion for personal transformation which is contagious and so motivating. "

    Kedge M, Founder: Family Office Advisory: Succession Planning

  • "Dawn is fearless and her no-nonsense, “say it as it is” approach is quite refreshing. She understands the politics and complex realities of being a senior manager. Her compassion & empathy, her keen awareness of why people do the things they do, and her extensive studies on leadership, organizational psychology and mindset make for a winning and unique combination. Her expertise on growth mindset and her tenacity to get her clients more confident to make bold moves is inspiring. She is an astute listener and will offer balanced thoughtful advice on various options in someone’s career trajectory at their current firm or in a career pivot. "

    Martin L, Director, Financial Services

  • "Restoring and maintaining focus in a period of rapid change and high stress were the two most pivotal outcomes I gained through Dawn’s guidance. Her high energy approach was pinpointed into accurate and hard hitting advice which was delivered in a powerful, committed and empathetic manner. Dawn was able to re-wire my concentration to ensure that I could make the most appropriate decisions for myself and for those around me. She explained the importance of regular movement, and being religious about that movement. She is the strongest proponent for journaling one’s thoughts and feelings and encouraged me to make that jump into written self-expression. These disciplines helped me forge a path back to where I felt I should be. Her super power is one of high energy, self nurturing focus which will only lead to highly productive outcomes for those who know her."

    Meg Gray , C-Suite & member of Executive Committee, Asset Management

  • "Dawn is an excellent coach on confidence and courage. She has this spark and energy when she talks. She provides great insight on limiting beliefs about ourselves that we don't even know we have and offers excellent advice and mindset tools to support taking on new challenges - for example speaking in front of large audiences or taking on a new additional role in your career. She asks a lot of interesting questions that make you pause and consider WHY you think the way you do. You can tell she absolutely LOVES what she does and I cannot wait to see what this next year brings for her."

    Samantha M, Head of Operations & Non-Executive Director, Private Equity

  • "Dawn is VERY knowledgeable about the coaching community, programs and masterminds as well as best practices. She knows how to guide you through what questions to ask in a mastermind or 1:1 coaching session and she introduced me to a personal development conference series that I found INVALUABLE. I never would have known about the conference had Dawn not sent me all of the information as I am new to the personal development world - so to speak! She also knows the best stages and events that host the BEST speakers. She is SO passionate about her work. She really cares about helping people and supporting them on their journey and she REALLY listens. She has TONS of useful advice on podcasts, books, conferences, apps and meditations so that you can begin to build a framework for personal growth that suits your specific needs. She meets you where you are at! You can tell she really loves this stuff!

ABOUT DAWN MARI

Speaker, Podcaster & Performance Coach

I believe that everything we really want in life, is on the OTHER side of doing what we truly Fear.

How did I learn SO MUCH on Confidence & Grit? I’ve been ADDICTED to solo remote travel for 15 years and the rapid personal transformations that accompany extreme adventures in the wild, alone. I’ve also locked horns with executives who manage 5bn+ in asset management when culture, conduct or employee health is at issue. I’m simply not afraid of saying what needs to be said.

How did I learn about Freedom? I’m a minimalist who narrowed down all of her personal belongings to 10 UPS boxes in 2021.

How did I learn about Leadership? 20 years of working in one of the most stressful, intense, cut-throat industries in the world, Finance. Years & years consulting closely with over 15 different PE and HFs. 15 yrs studying leadership and organisational psychology from Simon Sinek, Adam Grant, Brendan Burchard & various renowned contributors to the Harvard Business Review.

What’s my unique approach? A deep knowledge (please read “OBSESSION”) of neursocience & the subconscious, psychology, flow state, meditation, breathwork and high performance habits combined with a demand to take CONSISTENT ACTION - micro-acts of courage on a DAILY basis.

ENERGY IS EVERYTHING

Dawn is a FORCE of change. With over 20 years of corporate experience, a law degree from one of the most prestigious schools in the USA and 15 yrs studying leadership, communication, personal development, mindset, breathwork, movement, meditation, high performance habits and personal transformation - she packs a punch and can read a room quickly to know how to make a BIG impact. Her command of an audience is immediate and her ability to connect with others, inspire, deliver results, & shift ENERGY, uncanny.

  • Signature Talk: This bold, insightful & vulnerable discussion details the paralyses of fear, and the strong hold of limiting beliefs - whether its beliefs about income, or intelligence, or job promotions, or weight loss. Everything we REALLY want lies on the other side of DOING what we fear. So why don’t we take action? Many procrastinate & cling to complacency and excuses simply to keep themselves safe. This talk, pulling in much about the latest studies on neuroscience, mindset and the subconscious, is the SLAP that we all need to snap out of the coma and the safety, and JUMP into the next level of LIVING with HIGH performance.

  • Employee turnover and disengagement is at an all time high and whether its in the political or corporate arena, we seem to be experiencing a crisis in leadership and a breach in trust. This no-nonsense talk goes through the latest leadership techniques from the BEST performance and sports coaches in the world. It also covers communication methods that can make an impact. So many are talking right now, from boardrooms to podiums to stages, but few are listening. There is a reason, and there is a cure.

  • The most SUCCUESSFUL high performers in the world, the LEADERS, have a handful of consistent traits & habits. Two of them are their WILLINGNESS to fail, and learn by failing, again and again and their RELENTLESS ability to take consistent ACTION. Get off the bench & step on to the court to learn more as this talk is HIGH IMPACT, FAST PACED and all about HIGH PERFORMANCE HABITS.

  • MANY leaders & managers (especially age 40+) are scratching their heads - they struggle to retain and motivate the top talent of Gen Z. This talk goes through the cultural & generational differences which contribute to miscommunications and a lack of connection and presents an EFFECTIVE ACTIONABLE roadmap on how to attract & leverage the invaluable talent of Gen Z.

  • Employee mental health has been at the epicenter of discussions on the future of work since COVID. Energy depletion & exhaustion, reduction of efficacy at work & negative feelings towards ones job (combined with frustration & a lack of purpose) are complex issues that managers can no longer ignore but are hard pressed to find effective solutions. This candid, no no-nonsense talk covers the root causes of burnout and anxiety and presents a strategies for a remedy using the latest cutting edge techniques across multiple disciplines.

Podcaster

The JUMP launches NOV 2023, this is a space, propelling through air, where Inspiration meets Grit. Courage, Vulnerability & Fierce Honesty takes unexpected, uncensored turns. You cannot predict or control the wind on any given day. Parachute required.

HIGH Performance coach

I’ve seen corporate executives through big transitions, transformations, career pivots, hostile negotiations, jumping jobs, crises at 1AM and rapid personal & professional growth. After 20+ years working as a high performing corporate executive myself, in one of the most cut throat industries in the world, I GET IT. I have sat in your shoes, I have felt the relentless pressure, the stress, the blind drive for more, the intermittent burnout, the wind in my hair as I am screamed at (!), the scalding heat in boardrooms, the heart palpitating sweat of a crucial presentation, the chess game of Medici-like politics. I understand YOU. During my time in Mayfair I saw a big need for MORE of the unique, fearless approach I offer. The candid, direct way in which I quickly and accurately analyse the ROOT cause of any problem & start presenting actionable solutions. I’m also a certified hypnobreathwork coach - and this methodology, amongst others which I have studied obsessively - allows me to create rapid personal transformation (hint - it combines a lot of the latest research studies in neuroscience and the subconscious).

Certified in MASTRY EXPERIENCE coaching amongst various other modalities.

Sought-After Speaker

I’ve spoken at several to audiences from 50 to 300 over the last 6 years on leadership, change, culture and confidence. My uncensored, “tell it how it REALLY is” approach has a way of resonating immediately with the audience, causing a stir, inspiring dialogue and creating an atmosphere where most THINK AGAIN about their assumptions and standard approaches.

There is a crisis in leadership across the world - from politics to corporations - and when Dawn speaks she does not BS, placate or underestimate her audience - she says it how it is - and she focuses on smart strategies for change. The impact…. is immediate. She also focuses on techniques that support long-term sustainable change, she doesn’t do the ‘fast food’ McDonalds approach of this is how to make your employees productive or happy this week - then what? What happens in one month? This is about sustainable change where you see increased performance year after year.
