Coaching Blog Content

The perfect content for your coaching blog is content that truly reflects your coaching practice and that is written by you. The more passion you bring to the subject the more your reader will be drawn to it and therefore, drawn to you. Writing about a particular topic also gives potential clients a peek into how you might coach them on their own situation. While your whole website should uniquely reflect you and your offerings, your coaching blog is a great place to say more.  I recently attracted a new coaching client this way.  She told me that my blog article on dating after divorce spoke to her and was the catalyst for contacting me.

blog posts for coaches

Still stuck? Like every coach, every coaching specialization is different. I’ve provided an idea below for content for many different kinds of coaches to help you get started.

Recovering from an illness or surgery takes planning, patience and adjustment. Discuss ideas for making someone’s road to recovery as smooth as possible.
