Vocationality
Overwhelmed about choosing a major? You are not alone. Will Gray has spent decades designing a pathway to help guide those launching into adulthood. Choosing a major is challenging! In 2019 I joined the team of guides with Vocationality. We work with students in the process of self-discovery to understand their design, what they are made to do, and how to use the clarity they have discovered for every decision point in their lives. This pathway is personalize with 6 sessions: Story, Making Sense of Your Story, Listening for Your Calling, Getting Specific about Your Gifts, Zeroing in on Your Zone, and Driving with Your Clarity ON.

Coaching with Dawn:
Helping you cut through the Overwhelm a step at a time.
Dawn has worked with students anticipating college for her entire adult life. Though it is common to feel overwhelmed, there are healthy ways to face it, keeping perspective and taking each part a step at a time. Dawn wants to help you embrace the truth that your future is not all up to you, that the transition will be strengthening and empowering, and that loneliness will be a gateway to rich friendships. Through a few one-on-one sessions, you will experience freedom from fear and growth in confidence.
Writing essays for more than a college acceptance.
Essays don’t have to be a stressful hurdle to overcome in the college-application process. Think of it as an opportunity to explore your life, to find milestone markers hidden in your timeline, and to engage the powerful experience of self-discovery. You have been shaped over many miles and seasons of your life. Dawn would love to help you name the ordinary and extraordinary parts of your story, and craft them into a beautiful read. As a writer, teacher, and counselor, Dawn asks tailored questions to help you bring your story to life. And, of course, polish it the final essay. 🤓 No one should write your essay but you—there is much more to be gained than a document to upload. Let’s face it, getting into college is not the goal, maturity is.
