Dawn Yerger, MSW
President & CEO of DiamondMind Coaching & Consulting

 

"Branding for Naturalpreneurs: Positioning Your Business as a Unique Resource in the Natural Hair Community"   (Free Workshop)

Branding has become a hot topic in today's business world since human beings tend to assess whether or not we like or dislike something within two to three seconds - a very small window of time for someone or something to create a positive, emotional association within us. As a natural hair care professional, it is important to know what makes your business unique and how to effectively present yourself to your ideal market as a solution and a resource.  In this seminar, Dawn will show you how to:

  • Assess the values, strengths, and “personal trademarks” of your business
  • Determine your "unique selling points" or USPs
  • Determine who the ideal client/customer is for your business and how to connect with them
  • Strategically create ways for your ideal client/customer to build a positive association with your business

Dawn Yerger’s firm, DiamondMind Coaching & Consulting, specializes in branding, copywriting, strategic fundraising and coaching services for entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurs. It is her personal mission to bring out the best in herself and others through connection to our inner and outer diamonds. 

Dawn is the host of the weekly P.O.L.I.S.H.ed Entrepreneur Radio Show and of the popular Nappturalite Radio Show, an internet radio show dedicated to Black natural hair.  Nappturalite Radio attracted an audience of over 1,000 listeners after being on the air for less than one month. 

After beginning her journey into natural hair and launching Nappturalite Radio, Dawn was inspired to create Naturalpreneur Central, a website community that offers training and resources for businesses dedicated to natural hair and natural living. She is also the Chicago Women's Business Examiner for Examiner.com and a regular contributor to HybridMom.com and MsCareerGirl.com.  

 As a young entrepreneur, Dawn has been able to navigate the waters of starting and operating many home businesses.  After taking the leap as an entrepreneur in 2007, she quickly mapped out a strategic attraction framework, titled "P.O.L.I.S.H.ed", which allowed her to bridge the gap between her business concept and a successful enterprise.  She uses this same model to coach other entrepreneurs on branding their businesses and attracting the right clients and resources.  

 Dawn is the author of the forthcoming book, “The Brink: How Women Entrepreneurs Resurrected Their Businesses & How You Can Do the Same”, which feature the stories of prominent women entrepreneurs.  She is also studying to complete her PhD in Holistic Life Coaching and resides in Northwest Indiana with her daughter Khailah.  She can be reached at dawnyerger@gmail.com.
