Small shifts that move the needle

Sep 09, 2026

Every now and then, someone asks, "Dawn, why are you so passionate about Momentum Reset? What actually happens in that room?"

Fair question. From the outside, it might just look like another event on a busy calendar. But inside that room, it's completely different.

We take a deep breath in, and a deep breath out. A compassionate pause from all the personal and professional noise that usually fills our heads.

Then, we look at three simple things:

  • Where we said we were going.
  • Where we’ve actually been.
  • What adjustments we need to make to the map before we hit the road again.

And what I love about this particular Momentum Reset—September's—is that we get to do two other things...

Small shifts that move the needle

We outline the subtle shifts needed to finish this year strong, while quietly laying the foundation for what we intend to do next year.

These aren't huge, overwhelming overhauls. We look at your specific plays, and uncover those small, subtle shifts—the leading indicators—that actually move the needle toward the life you want to run.

And I'm not just standing there talking at you.

My favorite part is popping by, hearing what’s on your mind, and talking through your thoughts one-to-one.

We get to play ball a bit—throwing ideas back and forth about what it really looks like for you to win this next quarter, next year, or next season.

I'll help you solve problems in real time and help you figure out the exact, practical action step that moves you forward.

Our Virtual Power Lunch is next week—letting you do Momentum Reset in bite-sized, 2-hour increments, right from your desk on 9/15, 9/16, and 9/17/26.

I'd love to see you there...quieting your mind, taking action on what’s right in front of you, and building real momentum.

Whether you'll be there with us or not, as we round out this quarter, I’d love to know:

  • What are you planning to finish strong before the year ends?
  • And what’s one thing you’ve already accomplished this year that you’re proud of?

Hit reply and tell me where you're at with this—I’d love to hear from you.

Love doing life with you,

Dawn

Here’s the bottom line (literally)
  BLUF The Reality: A trusted client gave me a hard truth...my newsletters are way too long. (Ouch! But message received.) The Action Step: Momentum happens when we invite trusted people to show us blindspots—and then actually adjust. My new adjustment: respecting your time. From now on, you’ll get the bottom line right here so you never miss the gold, even on your busiest days. BLUF = Botto...

  BLUF The Reality: Between holidays and year-end events, Q4 evaporates and life happens to you faster than any other quarter The Action Step: Pause this week to name your heart's desires, block your non-negotiables, and protect your time before the holidays hit BLUF = Bottom Line Up Front On paper, all four quarters are pretty much the same length. ~90 days altogether. ~60 days if you stri...
Why I needed a nap on Monday
  BLUF The Reality: Draining days happen when things out of your zone of genius fill your plate...instead of work that fills your cup The Action Step: When you're drained, do a quick brain dump of what you did that day, so you can recognize what's zapping your energy BLUF = Bottom Line Up Front I had one of those "Mondayest" Mondays this week. It was kind of a free day. Filled mostly with a...
