Description of each webinar

Webinar 1: LinkedIn for Coaches  — Build Credibility, Not Just Visibility 

Focus: Reframing LinkedIn as a professional credibility platform

Many coaches feel pressure to “be visible” on LinkedIn without clarity on how to do so professionally or authentically. This session helps coaches understand how credibility is built (and lost) on LinkedIn, and how to position themselves by building a clear personal brand that enables them to show up effectively without self-promotion or performative content.

Participants will:

• Understand how trust and credibility are  formed on LinkedIn
• Identify common profile and positioning  mistakes coaches make
• Clarify what they want to be known for professionally
• Leave with a clearer personal positioning lens for LinkedIn

Webinar 2: A High‑Trust LinkedIn  Profile — From Coach to Thought Leader 

Focus: Profile clarity, authority, and first impressions

A LinkedIn profile is often the first touchpoint for potential employers, clients, referrers, and organisations. This session focuses on creating a profile that communicates clarity, professionalism, and authority, without sounding sales-driven.

Participants will:

• Understand which profile elements influence trust most
• Identify gaps or mixed signals in their current profile
• Learn how to write a clear, professional headline and about section
• Align their profile with the type of work and opportunities they want to attract

Webinar 3: Thoughtful Content on LinkedIn — Share Insight Without Self‑Promotion 

Focus: Ethical, insight‑led content for coaches that attracts opportunities

Many coaches struggle with what to post on LinkedIn, or whether to post at all. This session shows how to share thoughtful, experience-based insights that reflect coaching values and build trust over time, without becoming a “content creator” or marketer.

Participants will:

• Understand what types of content build credibility versus erode it
• Learn a simple structure for insight‑led posts
• Identify content ideas rooted in real coaching conversations
• Leave with a small set of post ideas they feel confident sharing
