When I made the very scary decision to pivot and leave the law firm I was working for to be an entrepreneur, Dawn’s advice guiding me along the way helped me become both self-employed and confident in the services that I offer.

What if you could:

  • Build a part-time schedule around your life and still earn full-time government consulting income?
  • Lucratively leverage your education and professional experience to win government contracts as a self-employed Subject Matter Expert?
  • Navigate the government contracting landscape with confidence, without needing a federal background or a corporate sponsor to get started?
  • Work from home, stay present for your family, and still deliver the kind of high-value expertise that government agencies are actively looking for and willing to pay for?

Would you do it or would you continue to:

  • Crave the income you used to make before coming home to raise your family?
  • Search for another job to address an income gap you’re experiencing?
  • Feel like your expertise and education are being “wasted” while you stay home?
  • Abandon your desires around your dreams for your children like homeschooling or an increased involvement in their lives?
  • Feel lost regarding how to prepare for your retirement?

Thankfully, you don't have to go on this way.

Inside my Government Consulting Made Simple Group Coaching Program You Will:

  • Understand exactly how full-time income is achievable on your own curated part-time schedule, without sacrificing the flexibility you have worked hard to protect.
  • Learn the State and Federal Government programs specifically designed to work with women-owned businesses, and how to position yourself to take full advantage of them.
  • Discover how strategic partnerships with other women consultants build your capacity, expand your reach, and open doors that no solo effort could unlock.
  • Realize that stepping away to invest fully in your family does not mean starting over. Your experience, credentials, and expertise held their value, and government consulting is one of the fastest ways to re-enter at your level.
  • Leverage the permanent shift in how government agencies now engage contractors, and learn how to build a thriving virtual consulting practice that works from anywhere.

As a Trusted AdviseHER, I believe women are most powerful when they work together, which is exactly why Government Consulting Made Simple Group Coaching was built the way it was. No hustle culture. No grinding in isolation. Just a focused group of driven women learning, strategizing, and winning government contracts together.

Dawn gets it! After 23 years as a stay-at-home mom, I was at a loss as to what I wanted to or could do professionally once my kids were grown. Dawn helped me understand how I could use my expertise to build my consulting firm. Working with her was exactly the boost of confidence I needed!

Meet Dawn.

Dawn Davenport Covin, MBA, PMP, is a wife, homeschooling mother of four, and the founder of Trusted AdviseHER.

When her family made the decision to live on one income, Dawn did not shrink. She got strategic. Determined to leverage her education and professional experience in a way that honored her values and protected her time, she set out to build something of her own.

The road was real. It included years of independent contracting, hard-won certifications, failed business ideas, and part-time work that never quite fit. But she kept going. And eventually, she secured a five-figure local government contract, launched a fractional COO practice serving small businesses and community organizations, facilitated training for nonprofits, and directed project management for healthcare organizations, all as a business owner on her own terms.

That journey is what Government Consulting Made Simple was built on.

Through Trusted AdviseHER, Dawn now works with women who have more than ten years of professional experience or an advanced degree and have stepped away from their careers to pour into their families. She knows what it costs to figure this out alone. She also knows it does not have to cost you that much or take that long.

Government Consulting Made Simple Group Coaching exists so the next woman does not have to take the long road. You can have the shortcut Dawn did not.

MY STORY

After the birth of my first child, I took eight months of maternity leave, and it was one of the most peaceful and purposeful seasons of my life. Caring for my daughter, bonding with her, being fully present without watching the clock. I did not want it to end.

So I tried to make sure it would not. I launched my first business, City Service Solutions, with the hope that I could keep showing up for my daughter and never have to choose between presence and provision. But I had no idea how to market a business or find clients, and when the financial pressure of our household became too heavy to carry, I went back to work.

For years after that, I kept searching. I was homeschooling my children, honoring the things in my life that mattered most, and quietly asking myself the same question over and over. Is there a way to work for myself, earn real income, and never have to make that impossible choice again?

The answer was yes. When I committed to learning the essential foundations of building a consulting practice, everything shifted. I launched, I landed clients, and I secured $50,000 in revenue within my first six months.

Now I have built Government Consulting Made Simple to give you what I did not have. A clear path, a proven process, and a group of women walking alongside you so you can do in weeks what took me years.

You can turn your professional expertise into a government consulting practice that is financially rewarding, strategically positioned, and built around the life you actually want to live.

Your credentials are already working in your favor. The government contracting market is actively looking for women-owned businesses with exactly the background you bring. Government Consulting Made Simple will show you how to step into that opportunity with clarity and confidence.
