Dominique Dawes won Olympic gold. But for her, success is so much more than medals and accolades: it’s something she worked hard to achieve everyday en route to Olympic glory. Her journey in the sport of gymnastics lasted 18 years and in those years she stood strong on numerous podiums, leaving lasting impressions in the hearts of fans. The podium was the destination, but the long-term goal? It’s the moments in between—what she calls the “journey”—that helped her realize the success that she was always striving for. Overcoming the inevitable obstacles, challenges, and doubts are the moments in the journey that build the champion in Dawes. Surrounding herself with the right team, developing the mindset to persevere and turning negative situations into life lessons is how Dawes realized Success Is a Journey, NOT a Destination.

Testimonials

Dominique Dawes is an inspirer, encourager, and an uplifting and positive force to anyone who has had the pleasure to meet her. More than 150 Girl Scouts and Brownies came to Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women to hear Dominique speak, and during her presentation, they were all spellbound by her words.

When she asked for questions, nearly half of the audience raised their little hands, and she took the time to answer every question the little girls had for her. She signed autographs and took pictures with each girl. I was extremely pleased to see so many little girls walk out with such big smiles on their faces. Dominique inspired them to dream big and be the best they can be.

Dominique Dawes is the perfect example of a superb athlete and person who chooses to give back to the community. She is a dynamic speaker and the perfect role model for any little girl to look up to.

She couldn’t have said enough nice things about her.
