Dawn Sully Pile

I have been a child, wife, parent, friend, neighbor, assistant teacher with special needs children, teacher of gifted children, teacher of amazing children of all abilities, education administrator, leader, Stephen minister, musician, writer, coach, author, education consultant, speaker, and continual student. I still am many of these.

During my 35-year career in education, I designed and delivered many parent presentations, spoke at national education conferences, and worked with schools around ethos.

As a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, it has been a joy to coach individuals on multiple topics, including coaching a youth into his own leadership potential, coaching engineers to see that they could engineer their own lives, and, and consulting and coaching education administrators. I continue to offer short term Catalyst Coaching sessions.

I created “Caregiving: Reimagine Your Role, Restore Your Soul” and presented it at lunch and learns for staff of several hospitals.

Joy has come from writing about what I call “metaphorical wells,” words that are qualities of conscious living, such as belonging, imagination, grief, not knowing and so many more.

All of these have contributed and led me, finally, to The Gift of 3 L’s: Legal Documents, Life-giving Conversations, Lighter Hearts. This is what I think of as my own life capstone project in service to you, your community, and others.

In my remaining years I commit to time not only advocating for completing legal documents but in addition, to engage in what I call “life-giving conversations” and to encourage and shepherd others to the same. These can be is as truly shared with the stranger I encounter as with those closest to me.

It is where I find my greatest joy in a world longing for connections that sustain us.
