Belong by Dawn Christian® challenges the status quo as the leadership advisory firm that operates on a foundational principle: belonging is a leadership competency. Our tailored services include cohort-based coaching, independent consulting, skill-building workshops, and executive coaching to guide individuals, teams, and organizations toward a more profound understanding of self and our workspaces. Our proprietary Ethos-Driven Leadership™ framework lies at the heart of our methodology, bridging personal values and professional aspirations. Through Ethos-Driven Leadership™, we reimagine leadership principles that are not performative but intentionally authentic by honoring intersectional identity to promote wellness, vulnerability, and psychological safety.
Central to our work is the BeLeadership™ cohort experience, a 5-week transformative journey with carefully crafted virtual sessions that honor leaders’ lived experiences and prioritize humanity. By cultivating leadership skills through the pillars of belonging, mental health and wellness, equity, diversity, and inclusion, we shift the narrative about leadership, one authentic connection at a time.
