I want to make sure this community is actually enjoyable and useful for you, not just something you check occasionally. So quick poll: If you had to pick one thing you’d want more of in here, what would it be?

When I met Adam and Reno, they were both building their own businesses in very different ways. Different backgrounds. Different styles. Different ideas about marketing, and especially about what “good content” looked like on LinkedIn. What made the partnership work wasn’t that we were the same; it’s that we saw things differently. My focus has always been on business structure, clarity, and execution. Theirs was on distribution, messaging, and the corporate language their audiences understood inside out. Helping them build their businesses was one of the most energizing things I’ve done. And once we combined our perspectives, we realized we could support a lot more coaches than any of us could alone. That’s what led to the program we ran together, what many of you knew as the LinkedIn Coaches Accelerator. Three full cohorts. An evergreen version. Dozens of coaches hitting their first clients in 12 weeks. It was intense, fun, and honestly a reminder of how powerful complementary skills can be. Which brings me to something new we’re excited about. We’re launching a podcast together. It’s going to be a monthly live conversation about the career coaching industry: Real trends, behind-the-scenes perspectives, what’s changing, what to expect in 2026, and how to navigate all of it with a bit more clarity. We’ll be hosting it on LinkedIn and YouTube. The first episode will be recorded live this Tuesday at 9 am EST. If you want to join us, tune in live, ask questions, or just hang out and listen. Here’s the link to join: https://www.linkedin.com/events/7423068195936280576?viewAsMember=true Would love to have some familiar faces in the chat.

I don't post often here, but I know the community is valuable. Here's my 2026. I am sunsetting my coaching business. I've dedicated five years to career coaching and reverse recruiting. My system works but I am not a marketer or a soloentrepreneur. I'm burnt out and sunsetting my business. The feast or famine lifecycle has really killed my drive. I've seen other career coaches who have big social presences, it's just not something that I can truly commit too. What I love, though. Is the job search, multiple job searches, teaching people how to do the job search, and building scalable systems that look more like a Go-To-Market strategy with business development, sales, and dual engagement outreach systems that are curated to the individual. I absolutely love building AI-tools that help the career seeker. What I do not love about this space. Digital marketing, building funnels and websites, cold-sales, and living on Instagram/Social media. My military experience lends myself to be a person on a team building something awesome rather than "being the visionary" or brand for the company. I'm happy to have conversations with the community about my reverse recruiting systems and/or I would BE very interested in working with a team running reverse recruiting operations. Most likely I'm accepting an inferior offer working with the State of Massachusetts and will continue building AI-bots and tools on the side. Happy to connect here or reach out to me below.

You’re working, posting, delivering… but everything starts blending together, and it becomes hard to tell what actually moves the needle. That “everything feels important” mode is where most solo coaches get trapped. Not because they lack discipline, but because building alone makes priorities blur fast. Scott, one of my clients, went through a version of this too. He wasn’t short on effort; he just didn’t have a clear path. Once he had direction around one offer, one focus, and what could wait, all the effort he was already putting in finally started compounding. His story isn’t unique, it’s just a good reminder that clarity is often the real bottleneck, not work ethic. So I’m curious about your experience with this idea. Where does focus blur for you right now?

Hey guys, I'm Cole all the way from South Africa. 🇿🇦 How I got into career coaching was by starting as a business English coach for engineers and just expanded my offering into career coaching since my language coaching was for career development in any case, why not help in other ways too? Anyway, I'm still refining my offer, thinking of helping automotive engineers land international jobs. A service I can offer them once they're in their new environment is my business English coaching, mostly for non-natives. Let me know what you think about my niche/offer and if you help clients get international jobs too.😁 Check me out on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cole-mohamed/
