Rapid diagnostics
Get visibility into how communication is working (or not working)
Issues with communication often present as surface-level symptoms (e.g., trouble with punctuation) but point to deeper issues (e.g., flaws in logical structuring). Our diagnostic services help you identify existing strengths and opportunities for improvement so you can tailor training to specific performance outcomes.

Spotlight Session ($350)
You or your team are working on a high-stakes document or presentation, and you'd like an expert opinion to help you clarify your ideas and connect with the intended audience.
Over a 45-minute Zoom call, Dr. Dawn Henwood will review your draft, point out its strengths and weaknesses, and suggest a revision strategy.
Following the call, you'll also receive written feedback from the session.
Communication Audit
You know something’s not working because the communication products your experts are creating aren’t delivering results, but you can’t identify what that “something” is.
Dr. Dawn Henwood will review a portfolio of communication products—emails, reports, proposals, presentations, web copy, infographics, videos, etc.—and provide a detailed analysis of their strengths and weaknesses.
The first step is to book a free consult with Dawn to discuss what you'd like to achieve through the audit and the types of communication products to include in the portfolio.

Founder and CEO of the Good Neighbour Builders Society
"If you want to improve the power of your written communications, Dawn and her company...are phenomenal. I know this first-hand both as her executive coach and as her client.
Dawn brings a unique set of skills that gently yet efficiently improves your writing skills, no matter what your present level is. In my particular case, Dawn was able to guide me in writing my book. It was clear and obvious how in relatively short interactions with Dawn, my writing took quantum leaps from amateur to professional.
If you want more power and clarity in your written communication, I recommend Dawn."
Alison Prescott
Manager of Programs and Services, Canadian Association of Research Administrators
"I sought out Dawn's coaching and Knowledge Mobilization expertise for a talk I was giving with both subject matter and audience being extremely important to me. Dawn's guidance was invaluable, allowing me to narrow my focus and ensure I was giving practical and usable information. She gave me direction for added research sources related to my topic, and the feedback from my session was more positive than I could have hoped. I am so thankful for Dawn's thoughtful and accessible advice, as well as the tidbits of wisdom she regularly shares on her blog and LinkedIn. I highly recommend her services!"
Carolina Koutras, PhD
Chief Operating Officer, One Yukon Coalition
"I had the pleasure of collaborating with Dawn and Clarity Connect on a major grant submission, navigating a complex team environment under a tight timeline...
...Dawn is not only a talented communicator but also a fantastic collaborator. I highly recommend her and Clarity Connect to anyone seeking exceptional communication support - whether it’s coaching, writing, facilitation, or more - and I look forward to working with her again soon."
