Name: Gainesville Area Women's Network (GAWN) Luncheon - Parentification: How Childhood Trauma Impacts the Workplace
Date: November 19, 2025
Time: 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM EST
Event Description:

Please join GAWN at the Sweetwater Branch Inn for our November Luncheon.

With almost two decades in HR, the majority of that time as a business owner, Dawn Sipley, President and Founder of Sipley the Best, has a deep understanding of the challenges in entrepreneurship. Dawn will discuss how we, as leaders, can create a positive work environment by learning to better understand our employees' lived experiences. Because if you think their trauma clocks out when they clock in, you're mistaken - it shapes how they respond to authority, communicate with others, and defines what they value. By understanding the unique strengths of the parentified workforce, leaders can harness their resilience while also protecting against burnout through healthy boundaries. Dawn will talk about accountability with love in a way that you have never heard before! Leadership isn't about coddling or making excuses, it's about meeting people where they are and guiding them to where you know their potential lies.

Be sure to register on our website now! We look forward to seeing you there!
