Haesun Moon is a communication scientist and educator based in Toronto, Canada. She cares about people experiencing better conversations at home and at work – and she does that by training, coaching, and consulting. She defines the process as hosting dialogic conditions in which people participate to imagineer* their own change. Her academic and professional research in coaching dialogues and pedagogy from the University of Toronto led to development of a simple coaching model, Dialogic Orientation Quadrant. The DOQ has transformed the way people coach and learn coaching worldwide. Haesun teaches Brief Coaching at the University of Toronto and serves as Executive Director at the Canadian Centre for Brief Coaching. Haesun roasts her own coffee, loves dogs and horses, and is quite particular about her choice of pens.
