Dawn Ledet (Luh-Day, oui, it's French) is a self-trust business coach, author, speaker, and founder of The Self-Trust Solutionβ’.
She works with coaches and experts who have the strategy, the skill, and the drive, and are still hitting a ceiling they cannot think, strategize, or optimize their way through. Her work addresses what is actually happening: the identity has not caught up to where the business needs to go.
Dawn's clients leave with their authority claimed, their ideal clients reaching out ready to say yes, and a relationship with their own results that no longer puts their identity on the line. The hard days become material. The wins become evidence. The business moves differently because the person leading it does.
She hosts The Self Trust Solution Podcast, a top 5% globally ranked show, and is the author of three books including Trust. Surrender. Obey. and The Inner Room. Her proprietary frameworks, including the Identity Gap methodology and the Momentum Loop, have helped hundreds of entrepreneurs stop solving yesterday's problem with today's energy and start building from who they actually are.
The work is not about becoming someone new. It is about claiming the truth of who you already are and building from there.
Dawn Ledet (Luh-Day, oui, it's French) is a self-trust business coach, speaker, author, and founder of The Self-Trust Solutionβ’, where she helps coaches and experts build businesses that move differently because the person leading them does.
With more than two decades of leadership experience and over 6,000 coaching hours, Dawn works with high-capacity entrepreneurs who have the strategy, the skill, and the drive, and are still hitting a ceiling they cannot think, strategize, or optimize their way through.
Her work operates at the level of identity. Specifically, the gap between where a client's results already are and where their self-concept is still operating from. When that gap closes, everything shifts. Ideal clients reach out ready to say yes. Decisions get made cleanly. Authority stops being performed and starts being claimed. The business moves not because the strategy changed, but because the person leading it finally stopped measuring herself against her results and started recognizing herself as the one who creates them.
Through her proprietary frameworks, including the Identity Gap methodology, the Momentum Loop, and the Self-Trust Identity Map, Dawn helps entrepreneurs stop solving yesterday's problem with today's energy and start building from who they actually are. The work is not about becoming someone new. It is about claiming the truth of who you already are and building from there.
She hosts The Self Trust Solution Podcast, ranked in the top 5% of podcasts globally, and is the author of three books: Trust. Surrender. Obey., The Inner Room, and Master Your Inner Dialogue.
Dawn's content is cited by both Google and Bing AI as an authoritative source on self-trust in business. Her site ranks #1 on Google for "self-trust business coach" and is quoted in Google's AI Overview. Bing AI cited her content 3,500 times in a single quarter, with one post cited 1,200 times in response to a single query.
Before founding her coaching practice, Dawn spent over 20 years in hospitality leadership in New Orleans, directing sales and marketing for luxury hotels and opening high-profile properties.
She lives just outside the French Quarter in New Orleans with her rescue dogs, Laney and Marie, and believes the strongest businesses are built the same way strong leaders are, from the inside out.
