S3-Ep 1 EPIC Feedback with Dawn Constantin
In this episode, host Jacqueline Frost talks to Dawn Constantin COO, Gas & Power Trading Americas at bp.
Dawn shares two pivotal experiences: receiving challenging early-career feedback that prompted her to demonstrate hidden strengths whilst remaining authentic. Later, facing a simple question about career aspirations that revealed she lacked direction. Through coaching and self-reflection, she gained clarity about her strengths and identified development gaps.
Both experiences underscored essential leadership lessons: the courage to accept constructive feedback, the importance of trusted advisors, and the value of dedicating time to strategic self-reflection.
The conversation concludes with Dawn sharing her favourite quote from Agatha Christie: "Instinct is a marvellous thing. It can neither be explained or ignored." This resonates with Dawn's approach of trusting her gut feelings throughout her career, recognising that instinct becomes sharper with experience and should guide curiosity and exploration.
