As a business coach and consultant since 2005, Dawn’s strategy in working with her clients is simple: help them identify their Deeper Why, convey that Deeper Why to others in the company or on the team, step into their powerful leadership abilities, ensure that each person is working in his or her Zone of Genius, and bring everyone together to work successfully toward a common goal.
In addition, Dawn was the Chief Operating Officer of a virtual training university for seven years, running the day-to-day operations; managing the various departments and staff; hiring staff and recruiting volunteers; helping to make policy decisions; revamping outdated systems; and more.
She has also worked with executives and mid-level employees at NASA, the admissions department at a national educational association, and many small family-owned and -run businesses.
She has thousands of hours of coaching and training individuals, business owners, executives, department staffs, and small business teams. In addition, Dawn has been trained in the BANKCODE® system, a personality profiling system that has been scientifically-proven to predict buying behavior. She is also a Strengths-Performance Coach, certified through Talent2Strengths, an official partner of Gallup and home of the famous CliftonStrengths® assessment (formerly StrengthsFinder®).
Her personal Deeper Why is to help people and organizations use their gifts to the fullest and in the biggest way possible.
Mark Shuler
Mark Shuler, President of The Shuler Group, has a master’s degree in clinical psychology, and he has thousands of hours coaching and training in multiple industries.
Mark brings his diverse background as a teacher, trainer, therapist, stage combat choreographer, actor, photo journalist, and more to The Shuler Group. With his vast experience with organizations, teams, groups, and law enforcement, he has a thorough understanding of how people interact and work together effectively (or how they do not).
As a stage combat choreographer, he has had to assess a situation, identify the crucial elements, create a plan, and get everyone working together toward a common goal, whether a complex battle scene or involved altercation. He applies this same template to corporations and organizations where it is necessary for many elements to work together to achieve an integrated and powerful result.
Mark has also worked with law enforcement, where the emphasis was on a strong and effective command presence, problem-solving, and de-escalating situations, while also observing officer safety.
Today, Mark specializes in helping people improve their relationships, communicate effectively, work together as a team toward a common goal, and connect with others in their own language.
As a certified trainer, Mark trains and works with individuals and corporations to help them improve communication and create thriving relationships.
His personal Deeper Why is to help people have an easier time in life.
