Meet The “Crew”
Michael Fletcher CEO/Founder of Neworld Coaching:
By Coaching thousands of clients on a personal (One-on-One) and group level, Michael has assisted entrepreneurs in improving several different areas of their lives and businesses. He has lectured in front of a variety of groups ranging in size from 5 to 1500 people. He first started his career by spending 12 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, where drive and determination were ingrained into his work ethic and a never give up attitude emerged.
Michael moved onto the next part of his journey by becoming an entrepreneur. Some of his businesses were huge successes and one ended in bankruptcy, which became a very valuable lesson in itself. With Michael’s diverse business experience and personal growth, he has a tremendous amount of wisdom and insight to offer others. His “Tell it like it is” attitude is widely considered refreshing and “real” by his clients and associates.
Michael relocated back home to Ontario in 2005 with his wife, Dawn. They streamlined their Business Coaching Company to reflect the needs of business owners in Ontario. Michael’s exciting “Shameless” series has been transformed into a popular book and they continue to travel Ontario teaching business owners the values of promotions, referrals in networking.
In the summer of 2007 they launched their popular Beehive Networking Game in an online form. Now business owners all over Ontario can network effectively from the comfort of their own home or office 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! This site produced more than 4000 leads in the first year!
Michael has learned form the best. He has spent time with people like Dr. John Demartini, Jay Abraham, Jack Canfield, Blair Singer, Robert Allen, Mark Victor Hansen and T. Harv Eker, all of whom have become his mentors. His passion lies in inspiring and empowering people to raise their level of consciousness so they can live in their purpose while having a much fuller and enjoyable life

Dawn Fletcher Executive Assistant/VP:
Dawn Fletcher is the third-generation embodiment of the Canadian entrepreneurial spirit. Being “in business” has always been a big part of her life, and as she grew up, Dawn took a keen interest in all things pertaining to businesses and to business owners. In the course of her travels across Europe and North America, she has also worked to develop a global understanding of the essence of entrepreneurship and has kept that knowledge with her for all of her life.
A life-long resident of the Waterloo Region of Ontario, Dawn came of age working in her grandfather’s menswear store and moved on to partnering with her mother in Country Cupboard, (later the Pie and Perogie Place), a food services business supplying farmers’ markets and grocery store chains. Dawn estimates that she has personally hand-made over one million perogies! Following the retirement of the business in 2001, Dawn worked with a major catering company, which helped her to understand business operations on a larger scale. She was regularly allowed creative input, and was thrilled to see her own ideas implemented by the company and her products distributed to clients.
Then, as Dawn puts it, she reconnected with Michael Fletcher and everything changed! She took the business savvy, creativity and administrative abilities that she had gleaned from her years in the catering business and, with Michael’s coaching, applied them to Michael’s business Neworld Coaching. At first, Dawn was happy to help Michael to live out his dream to educate business owners and work with them toward achieving their goals—until she came to realize that her own experience and knowledge could benefit entrepreneurs almost as much as Michael’s could.
Dawn’s role in the growth and development of Neworld Coaching has expanded and evolved since its launch in 2006. Over the past several years, Dawn has touched thousands of business owners worldwide through her online classes, webinars, and Coaching sessions. She takes her Coaching role very seriously, and goes well beyond simply teaching, supporting and encouraging her clients. She also works with them to create industry-specific products and services, maximize social networking and email marketing opportunities, and implement personalized systems for goal setting, time management and business planning.
Because she and Michael are absolutely passionate and committed to Neworld Coaching, they love to share their knowledge with entrepreneurs everywhere. In fact, most products and services offered through their company are given absolutely free—with no strings attached. Dawn is living out her dream of inspiring and empowering her clients, friends and associates to live a life of fulfillment and SUCCE$$ and that, she notes, is the very BEST reward!

Deborah Plouffe: Copywriting & Editing
A wonderful entrepreneur who has been a client and associate of Neworld Coaching since the beginning of 2010. Deborah has been in business since 2002 but has recently re-branded and reinvented her company as rewriter.ca.
I really admire that she has made the decision to follow her passion for writing and to build her business around that talent. In fact, Dawn and I look forward to reading anything that she writes both to and for us.
She believes, as we do in the Neworld, that you can’t underestimate the value of a professional image and consistent branding…and the quality of the correspondence that your business puts out is no exception.
She’s so confident about what rewriter.ca can do for you, that she offers a “first hour free” promotion on any new assignment.
Go ahead and check out her website at the links above OR send her an email at deborah@rewriter.ca . Just don’t think you can completely steal her from the Neworld!!!
