“Do or do not. There is no try.”
I get it…
I’m sure you’ve heard that 60% of those that move into executive leadership roles fail within the first 18 months. Well, maybe, but that’s not you.
You are in a new senior leadership role and want to build your team and tackle your big goals right from the start.
You are ready to learn and grow and develop and succeed at the highest level. You will not let yourself or the people on your team down. Not. An. Option.
You realize that what got you here won’t get you to the next level. Leading leaders takes a unique mindset and skills.
Think holistically. Dream big. Plan smart. And move fast.
Dawn Zerbs
How can I help you?
My name is Dawn Zerbs and I work with established and emerging leaders who are moving into top-level roles. I help them build and lead their teams and tackle their big goals right from the start.
I walk beside leaders as a coach and guide their success using a combination of experience — 20 years of successfully transforming and growing organizations — creativity, intensity, and follow-through.
Here are the steps we’ll take to get results…
I created the Inspired Leadership System - a proven way to Imagine, Build, Plan, and Lead at the highest levels.
Step 1 | IMAGINE
We jump into the most important work first and think big and articluate the future for the organization and your leadership. Where is the organization going and why does it matter?
Step 2 | BUILD
Next it’s all about building the right structure and team to bring your vision to life. Jim Collins says, “First WHO then WHAT” and order is paramount.
Step 3 | PLAN
It’s time to develop shared goals and accountability. Responsibility for successful execution — and building a robust culture and exceeding performance goals — lands squarely on your shoulders.
Step 4 | LEAD
You’ll be inspiring your team to achieve their potential and honing your leadership skills simultaneously using real-world real-time practice. Start before you’re ready.
Are you ready to elevate your team and exceed your goals?
I invite you to a complimentary strategy session where we’ll:
Discuss your current situation and role
Pinpoint your priorities
Create a clear next step which could include steps for you to take on your own, a referral to another resource to meet your needs, or explore how I can best support you.
If you need another time, please email me at dawn@dawnceleste.com and we’ll find something that works for you.

“I hired Dawn when I was going from a subject matter expert to a role that was responsible for growing the division and accountable for the P/L.
I found it to be transformative and would highly recommend executive coaching, especially with Dawn.”

“I hired Dawn when I was moving into a new, highly visible role in a politically complex organization from 2000 miles away.
She gave me the confidence to step back and ask the really important questions of myself and others.
And most importantly she’s helping me see how I show up which is so incredibly important in a new role.”
