Dawn Mattera Corsi, a best-selling author and keynote speaker specializing in helping people over 50 redesign their lives, was honored with the prestigious Golden Mic Award at The Big Idea Conference 2025 for her transformative talk “5 Keys to a DOLCE Vita.”
Corsi , who leads Your Dolce Vita, captivated the audience with her innovative approach to finding purpose and fulfillment in the second half of life. Her award-winning presentation introduced an accessible framework using “DOLCE” as an acrostic to guide participants through life transitions.
“The DOLCE method begins with deciding what you want your ‘dolce vita’ to look like,” Corsi explained during her talk. The remaining elements of her approach include being open to opportunities, embracing a lifestyle that prioritizes living, loving and laughing, fostering meaningful connections, and maintaining enthusiasm.
As a certified coach with five best-selling books to her credit, Corsi has built her practice around three core principles: helping clients connect to their purpose, create a fulfilling life, and continue their legacy. Her work has particular resonance with adults navigating significant life transitions after 50.
The Golden Mic Award, presented annually at The Big Idea Conference, recognizes exceptional speakers who deliver messages of substantial impact and innovation. Previous recipients have included thought leaders from diverse fields including business, personal development, and social change.
Conference attendees praised Corsi’s practical, actionable advice for crafting meaningful second acts. Her methodology offers a refreshing alternative to traditional retirement planning by focusing on purpose and legacy alongside practical considerations.
The award further establishes Corsi’s growing influence in the personal development space, particularly for those seeking guidance on creating purposeful lives in their 50s and beyond.
A regular guest on CBS and Fox News, Corsi has spoken for numerous corporations, non-profit groups, and a Defense Industry contractor.
