MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA, US – January 8, 2025 – Doctoral students looking to overcome the challenges of completing their dissertations have a new resource launching in January 2025. Coach It Up, led by Dr. Cyndi Gaudet, Transformational Dissertation Coach and Professor Emerita, introduces the Dissertation Mastermind Program—a structured, supportive approach designed to help students make consistent progress, build connections, and complete their doctoral journey.
A frequently cited Council of Graduate Schools published study reveals that nearly 57% of doctoral candidates do not graduate within ten years of starting their program. The Dissertation Mastermind Program focuses on inconsistent progress, isolation, and mindset to change the completion narrative.
“Many students feel stuck and begin to lose their way without a clear navigation plan that works for them,” says Gaudet. “This program is about equipping students with the tools, support, and confidence to take charge of their journey, overcome obstacles, and finish their dissertations.”
The program focuses on three key areas:
• Accountability: Encouraging consistent progress with guidance and regular check-ins.
• Community: Building a supportive network to reduce the isolation often felt during the dissertation phase.
• Structure: Providing clear timelines and actionable plans tailored to individual needs.
Launching in 2025, the program is designed to save students from the weeks, months and years of struggle and the financial impact of continuous enrollment. Instead, participants are empowered with new habits and strategies to gain or regain momentum and confidently work toward their degree.
Doctoral candidates interested in starting strong in 2025 are encouraged to visitcoachitup.org for more details, access to a free resource, and to schedule a conversation with Cyndi Gaudet.
