The Skilled Coach Standard Launches as a Home for Coaches Ready to Deepen, Not Just Scale
NEW ORLEANS — As the coaching industry continues to boom, one seasoned mentor is taking a stand for quality over quantity—and for coaches ready to deepen their craft instead of piling on more certifications.
Dawn Ledet, self-trust expert and respected coach mentor, has officially launched The Skilled Coach Standard, a professional development membership for coaches who want to sharpen their skills, trust their style, and serve their clients at a higher level—without relying on scripts or step-by-step formulas.
“Coaching mastery doesn’t come from more tools. It comes from knowing how to use the ones you already have—and how to trust yourself in the process,” says Ledet. “This space is for the coach who knows they’re not a beginner, but isn’t interested in pretending they’ve arrived. They want to grow with nuance, integrity, and real-time mentorship.”
Professional Development for the Evolving Coach
The Skilled Coach Standard™ was created in response to a growing need within the industry: a place for experienced coaches to evolve their voice and style—not conform to one.
With more programs focused on business growth and client attraction, many coaches are left wondering: Who’s helping me refine my actual coaching?
Ledet is answering that call.
This new membership provides:
- Real-time group mentoring with Dawn Ledet
- A growing video library of short trainings, coaching demos, and prompts
- Optional professional development credits through PCU (Post-Certification Uplevel)
- An intimate community of experienced peers dedicated to excellence
Deeper, Not Wider
Ledet, who has trained and mentored coaches for over five years, sees a clear trend: brilliant coaches getting stuck in the middle—not quite beginners, not quite ready to claim mastery.
“They’ve done the work. They’ve coached real clients. They know they’re good—but doubt and comparison creep in when they’re not supported. That gap kills confidence and stifles growth,” she says. “The Skilled Coach Standard is about helping them step into mastery—not because a program gives them permission, but because they’ve earned it and are ready to own it.”
Founding Member Enrollment Now Open
Enrollment for Founding Members is open through July 31 with an exclusive rate of $600 (or 12 monthly payments of $97). That’s less than the cost of five private mentoring sessions with Ledet.
This offer includes access to all future content and calls for the full year, plus priority consideration for private mentorship openings.
