In-depth Coaching Packages
Precise guidance woven into the workflow
When your experts are too busy with technical work to take time out for group training, coaching enables them to learn while they do their day-to-day tasks.
The engagement centers on actual work product, with Dr. Dawn Henwood providing input, targeted instruction, and detailed feedback.
With this level of personalization, learning is accelerated. When the entire team or organization participates, team dynamics and work processes improve too.

Laura O'Blenis
CEO of Stiletto
“We engaged Dawn and the team of Clarity Studio to provide coaching and support to new Stiletto team members as we refined our focus on productization and process improvement as a key priority for 2021. Dawn assisted our team in putting process into action and getting the results we were looking for to streamline our internal process.
We were thrilled with our experience with Dawn and Clarity Studio and highly recommend them for their ability to easily mesh with a team, to become an extension of that team and assist where and when needed the most. Clarity Studio takes a flexible, positive approach, which was a key factor in the success of this work. Dawn is knowledgeable, strategic, thoughtful in her approach, and an excellent mentor. She is an exceptional writer and facilitator and draws out the very best in individuals to enable a team and organization to shine. With Dawn’s guidance, we were able to synthesize and find common threads to knit together the consistent approach we were taking. This is now embedded into our ongoing process improvement and project work with clients. As a strategic planning firm, we value the input from a third-party to validate our work and help us think bigger and bolder. Thank you to Dawn and Clarity for enabling our firm to reach the next level.”
