8 things to include in your 2026 coaching business strategy. Best Of Series!

As the year winds down and we head into the holiday break, I wanted to revisit one of the most practical and well-loved episodes from the podcast: The 8 things to include in your 2026 coaching business strategy

In this episode, I break down the core strategic pillars every executive and leadership coach needs to consider when planning for the year ahead. Rather than staying at a high-level or getting lost in vague intentions, this conversation is all about the nuts and bolts of what actually belongs in your strategy if you want a business that is sustainable, profitable and aligned with the way you want to work.

I walk you through the eight key areas to review and plan for, including your offers, pricing, revenue mix, business development, marketing, financial management, systems and support, and your own professional development. Along the way, I share why starting with reflection and acknowledging your wins matters just as much as setting new goals, and how clarity in these areas can make planning feel far less overwhelming.

If you are starting to think seriously about your 2026 plans and want a clear, practical framework to guide your thinking, this episode will give you a strong foundation to work from.
