ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Dawn. The Story Behind Manage With Hart
After 25+ years in HR, I've watched brilliant people get promoted to management with zero training and struggle because no one taught them how to lead. I've seen small businesses grow fast and hit people problems they never saw coming.
That's why I created Manage With Hart. Leadership training shouldn't be reserved for senior executives. When we invest in people, everyone wins.

CLIENT LOVE
Don't Take Our Word for It
This is what happens when managers actually
get the support they deserve.
I went from feeling overwhelmed to feeling in control. New Manager Mechanics gave me the tools I didn't even know I needed, like how to run a one-on-one, handle conflict
Marissa D.
First-Time Supervisor
Hiring Manage With Hart for fractional HR support was the smartest decision we made during our growth phase. Dawn helped us scale without losing our culture.
Jason T.
CEO of a SaaS Startup
We were drowning in compliance issues and DIY HR spreadsheets. Dawn stepped in and immediately became our strategic partner not just our HR fixer

COO, Midwest Utility Company
Dawn brought clarity to our chaos. From performance issues to recruiting strategy, she helped us tackle the tough stuff with confidence. I honestly don’t know how we managed before her

Director of Operations
The coaching calls alone are worth the price. Dawn creates a space where you can ask anything, even the awkward 'am I doing this right?' stuff.
