For the past 12 years, Stairways Behavioral Health has relied on the experience and expertise of Dawn Coburn Joy, CEO of Coburn Consulting Resources, to assist us with organizational development in the ever-changing field of mental health. During that time, Dawn facilitated numerous team-building workshops for Stairways and provided countless face-to-face and telephone mentoring opportunities for key employees.

The instruments she uses in her customized workshops clearly illustrates the value that each individual brings to a team. She is masterful in guiding any group to understand and embrace diversity (style, skills, communication, experience, leadership, etc.) as the bedrock of a well-functioning team.

Dawn has been an exceptional listener and sounding-board for Stairways’ leadership and for me personally in my work to develop and encourage better functioning teams. I have honed my leadership style through her keen insights and continue to value her advice.
