You'll acclimate to your new role with the guidance of experienced professionals who have worked in the field. They know about the stresses and pressures that come along with being a DON, and will help you navigate the sea of new responsibilities.
NEW DONs: We've been there! Learn how we can help you.
STEP 1: Self-Assessment. You'll identify strengths and opportunities on our intake survey.
STEP 2: Initial Consultation. A deeper dive into your organization's practices and your own history. We'll use this time to develop a suggested plan of action.
