A fascination with storytelling in all its forms has taken Dawn into theatre, radio, TV and writing over the years. Her experience as a seasoned performer gives her first-hand experience of being in front of an audience. This, combined with 20+ years as consultant/ coach to all levels of leadership brings rare insight to her support of teams and individuals in organisations.

As a facilitator her mission is to put storytelling skills into the hands of people who can make a difference. Her joy in performance, communication and developing human potential has therefore led to a career combining performance storyteller - including Artist-in-Residence projects - with facilitation, speaking and broadcasting. This resulted in the development of Storytelling HQ in 2015.

Dawn is as fascinated by the stories we tell ourselves – about ourselves - as by the captivating old stories that she hunts down and brings back to vibrant and relevant life.

She is a compelling performer and likes to get under the skin of stories, finding deeper meanings in the familiar archetypes – especially in these unpredictable times.
