Meet Dawn.

Dawn Trautman is the visionary founder of Big Picture Big Purpose, an organization dedicated to transforming leaders who are deeply emotionally invested in their organization but starting to burn out using her framework of community, creativity, and courageous conversations.

She holds two Master’s Degrees, one in Youth & Family Ministry from Luther Seminary in Minnesota and one in Organizational Psychology from New York University. Her certifications range from Life Coach to Macy’s Giant Balloon Handler. After nearly twenty years as a business owner and coach, Dawn released her newest book, “Parables of a Resilient Nomad,” in 2024 about the decade she spent as a full-time nomad and the communities that grounded her on the journey.

DAWN HAS WORKED WITH HUNDREDS OF LEADERS AT THESE AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS

Here's what others have said

"

"Now that I've taken this eCourse, I definitely feel more motivated and less overwhelmed. I think I need to write some of your comments on my forearm, Dawn, so that I'm constantly reminded of how to think about my calling!"

Andrea Morales Roth, Christian Singer, Michigan

"At first, I was a bit worried about figuring out an online course, but the technology in Dawn's course turned out to be a breeze! The biggest insight for me was how important it is to "care for the soul" by doing what makes your heart sing. I've completely reconsidered how to find joy and share God with others."
