Walking the Talk: Aligning Your Writing with Your Coaching Philosophy
Your writing should be an extension of your coaching style.
I used to write these long, jargon-filled posts because I thought it made me sound smart.
Spoiler alert: it didn't.
It just made me sound boring.
I had to take a step back and ask myself, "Is this how I actually coach?"
If you're all about tough love in your sessions, your writing should have that same no-nonsense vibe.
If you're more of a nurturing guide, let that warmth shine through in your words.
Ways to align your writing with your coaching:
- Review your coaching materials and note key phrases or approaches you use
- Record yourself coaching (with permission) and analyze your language
- Ask clients what aspects of your coaching style resonate most with them
- Regularly compare your written content to your live coaching to ensure consistency
