In this inspiring episode of Jenesis Gems, join host Jenny Pearse
as she welcomes a very special guest, Dawn Thomas. Dawn, a
self-proclaimed "forever financial adviser" who has now found her
"forever home," brings her wealth of experience and creative wisdom
to the forefront, revealing the secrets behind her unique personal
brand and her journey to authenticity.
Dawn's philosophy is simple but profound: "I don’t know how to be
anyone else but me." She firmly believes in coming from a place
that is honest and genuine, and at her core, she is deeply
committed to achieving equity and positive outcomes for women and
diverse groups.
Throughout this episode, Dawn delves into the importance of
authenticity - finding your place, role, and message in the world.
As a values-driven individual, she highlights the necessity of
telling your own story authentically when no one else will. She
encourages the audience to experiment with their views and values
to represent themselves genuinely and inspire those who are not yet
ready to share their own voices.
Dawn's insights extend beyond personal branding; she shares
valuable lessons on developing your audience and keeping them
engaged. With a nod to her own journey, she emphasises the
significance of trial and error as a crucial path to growth and
learning.

individual - a self-professed superannuation nerd, financial
adviser, part-time Ph.D. student, mother of three, and passionate
food enthusiast. She also serves as the National Chair of AFA
Inspire, a group dedicated to empowering women in the financial
industry to thrive. When she's not offering financial advice,
you'll find her unwinding by cooking for loved ones or engaging in
her love for hockey.
