Dawn Schooler
Consultant
With more than 30 years of experience as a coach, counsellor, facilitator, and teacher, Dawn is also a business owner who became focused on the unique challenges of Family Enterprise about a decade ago. Dawn’s background in Business, Counselling, and Psychology allows her to quickly understand the dynamics within systems and facilitate meaningful discussion and solutions for individual members of business and ownership groups, as well as the whole family. Her willingness to engage in difficult conversations creates a safe atmosphere in which to confront issues often arising in families who are in business together.
With a natural inclination to engage in ways not commonly seen in traditional counselling settings, Dawn is continually humbled by every invitation into the inner workings of families who desire deeper reflection and connection in their work and their lives. She is also currently completing research for her doctoral dissertation on “The role of gender across leadership, transition, and succession processes of Family-Owned Business in Canada” at Royal Roads University in Victoria, BC.
Born and raised in Alberta, Dawn has called Vancouver, BC home since 1988.
Designations: MA, DBA (candidate), FEA, RCC
