What are the red flags of abuse? Let's ask Dawne Jacoby, a highly sought-after Keynote Speaker driven by a passion to inspire others. She is a Certified Life & Executive Coach, Leadership & Development Trainer and the Co-Founder of Grit2Grace – an organization that helps leaders “Humanize their Workplace” bringing empathy and compassion to the forefront. Dawne is also a Co-Host of “His and Her Life Hacks Podcast” – along with her fiancé, they discuss everyday life challenges, personal stories and successes from a his-and-her perspective. Between the 2 of them, they have 10 children – ages 30 down to 13, so they have a lot of fun & interesting stories to share! Dawne's passion for empowering young girls and women is rooted in her journey through a lifetime of adversity, beginning in childhood and following her into adulthood. At her career peak, while balancing life as a single mother to two daughters, Dawne faced a life-altering realization of what had been holding her back for 46 years. She now shares her story of resilience, strength, and the triumph of overcoming significant life challenges. Her keynotes captivate audiences, leaving them inspired and eager to learn more as she authentically connects through her personal journey woven into each message.
