Slideshow ideas for coaches and consultants.

Updated 26 October 2026

The coaching slideshows people save give them one tool they can use without you: a short weekly review, a rule you give new clients, or a question to think about. Open with a hook that names the reader's problem, give one idea per slide, and end with one next step, such as saving the post or booking a call.

Two example slideshows

Wavegrain drew both with its own slide renderer, using free-licence photos. They are examples, not customer posts. Swipe through each one.

What I tell every new client

5 slides · Listicle structure

  • Slide 1: What I tell every new client Three rules for the first month
  • Slide 2: 1. Small goals get finished
  • Slide 3: 2. Write the next step, not the dream
  • Slide 4: 3. Review your week every Sunday

The 3-question weekly review

5 slides · Step-by-step explainer look · Educational structure

  • Slide 1: The 3-question weekly review Ten minutes, every Sunday
  • Slide 2: What worked? Write down one thing you want to repeat.
  • Slide 3: What got in the way? Name it plainly. No blame, just the fact.
  • Slide 4: What is the one next step? Small enough to start on Monday morning.
  • Slide 5: Try it this Sunday Save it so you do not forget

10 hooks for coaches slideshows

  1. “What I tell every new client”

    Story. It lets the reader hear the first session for free, which is a fair preview.

  2. “The 3-question weekly review”

    Plan. A short tool with a fixed size is easy to try and easy to save.

  3. “Why your goals keep slipping”

    Problem. It names a frustration the reader has, so they swipe for the cause.

  4. “Stop planning your whole year at once”

    Mistake. A warning against a common habit makes people check their own plans.

  5. “The question I ask before every big decision”

    Routine. One question is small enough to remember and use the same day.

  6. “Busy vs productive: the difference”

    Comparison. Two close ideas side by side make people stop and place themselves.

  7. “5 questions to ask before you hire a coach”

    Checklist. It helps the reader choose well, which builds more trust than a sales pitch.

  8. “Coaching myths I hear every month”

    Myth vs fact. People swipe to check whether they believe one of them.

  9. “What a client taught me about saying no”

    Story. A real lesson from real work shows how you think without a claim.

  10. “Save this for your next Sunday”

    Save prompt. It ties the post to a moment the reader already plans for.

Rules to watch

  • Do not promise outcomes. Say what you help with, not what income, health or relationship result someone will get.
  • Share client stories only with the client's permission, and leave out names and details that point to them.
  • Say who you are and what training you have. If a topic needs a doctor, therapist or financial adviser, say so.
  • Use photos you have the rights to: your own, stock photos under their licence, or AI images.

Questions

What should a coach post as slideshows?

Small tools people can use without you: a weekly review, a question to ask before a decision, the rules you give new clients, or a myth in your field and the fact behind it. Useful posts show how you work better than a sales post.

Can I post coaching slideshows without showing my face?

Yes. Desk, notebook and outdoor photos with clear text work well, and the words carry the post. Both examples on this page show no faces.

Can I use client results in my slideshows?

Only with the client's permission, and only when they are real and typical enough to be fair. Say that results depend on the person, and never promise the same result to someone else.

Does Wavegrain write the slides for me?

Yes. You give a topic, and Wavegrain writes the hook, the slides and the caption, places your photos or makes AI images, and keeps everything editable before you export it.

Which size should coaching slideshows be?

1080x1920 (9:16) fills the screen on TikTok. For an Instagram carousel, use 1080x1350 (4:5) or 1080x1440 (3:4). Wavegrain exports all three.
