For coaches and consultants, talking head videos are the fastest way to show your expertise and let people get to know you before they book a call. The hard part is knowing what to talk about. Here are 15 ideas you can record this month.
Teach
- The biggest mistake your clients make before they find you
- A 3-step framework you use with every client
- A myth in your industry and the truth behind it
- A quick tip people can use today
- Your answer to the most common question you get
Build trust
- Why you started doing this work
- A client story (with permission) and what changed for them
- What a first session with you looks like
- Who you are not a good fit for
- A lesson you learned the hard way
Start conversations
- Your opinion on a trend in your industry
- "Do this, not that" comparisons
- Reacting to a common piece of bad advice
- A behind-the-scenes look at your week
- Answering a question from a comment or DM
Editing tips for coach videos
- Cut pauses and filler words to keep the pace up.
- Add captions; many people watch on mute, especially on LinkedIn.
- Use simple motion graphics for frameworks, steps and numbers.
- Make a long YouTube version and short vertical clips for Reels and Shorts.
- Keep a consistent caption style and colours so your videos are recognisable.
