2011 guest posters wanted 1

 in Guest Post / site news  tagged coaches / coaching / guest posts

Friday is guest post day here on coaching confidence. It’s the day when a guest author will share a post on a topic or area that they feel will be of interest to coaches/ those interested in coaching.

I’m currently looking for guest posters for 2011 – if you’d like to be one of them contact me via here.

Want to know more info before making an offer to be a guest poster in 2011?

Topic/content

I am very flexible about the topic of the Friday guest posts – I do ask that it is something that you think will be of interest to coaches. I love the fact that this has produced a range of topics, approaches and opinions. I know that this is a very broad brief so if you want a bit more guidance I also offer a list of questions that you can use to act as a catalyst to spark some inspiration about what you want to write your post about.

The only other request that I make that you show respect to others views. It’s perfectly OK to discuss why you like a particular approach as long as you don’t throw insults at those who don’t agree with you.

I’ll also mention at this stage I don’t impose any word limit, I allow my posters as many words (or few) that you need to say what you want.

Date

You’ve probably noticed that the Friday guest post is posted on a Friday (normally around 6.30am UK time). So I ask that guest posters sends me over their copy by the Thursday lunch (UK time) allowing plenty of time to make any tweaks you want and generally schedule the post to go live.

If there is a particular Friday you’d prefer a post to run because it helps to promote an event you are running, etc I’ll do my best to accommodate that request. In the event I have two people wanting the same date I think the fairest thing to do is schedule them on a first come first served basis. 🙂 If that does happen I will make sure that I’ll communicate this with you and offer alternative available Fridays.

Bio

I’m very happy for you to include a bio; in fact I think that would be a great bonus for any readers who want to find out more.

Experience

While some of the fantastic guest posters of 2010 have decades of coaching experience we have also had some who are just establishing their coaching practice – so do not rule yourself from being a guest poster because you don’t think you have enough experience. As far as I’m concerned it’s that mix of perspectives that makes the Friday guest posts what they are.

Want to be a 2011 guest poster?

Contact me via the form here. If previous occasions when I have issued an open invite is anything to go by do act quickly if you want a specific Friday.

Still got questions?

Ask me either by adding a comment below or dropping me an email.

Thanks and a Merry Christmas

I’ve been delighted at the quality of the Friday guest posts that have already appeared on the site. (There’s also some exciting ones to come 🙂 ) If you have missed any then visit here for a full list of previous guest posts.

Every Friday I include a post from a “guest”, ideally having a real mix of posts with different opinions, approaches and topics.

It’s one of my coaching beliefs that the coaches who have exposed themselves to a range of approaches etc have the most flexibility when working with clients. So I’d love to reflect that with the posts on the blog.

As we approach the end of 2010 I do have some Friday’s that have not yet been claimed by a guest poster.

Interested? Then here’s what else you’ll need to know:

The only thing that I ask is that any posts are of interest to the audience of coaches/ those interested in coaching and is respectful of others views.

I’m very happy for guest posters to include a bio, in fact I think that would be a great bonus for any readers who want to find out more.

Also, if there is a particular week you’d prefer a post to run because it helps to promote an event you are running, I’ll do my best to accommodate that request. In the event I have two people wanting the same date I think the fairest thing to do is schedule them on a first come first served basis. 🙂 If that does happen I will make sure that I’ll communicate this with you and offer alternative available Fridays.

If you want to be one of the guest posters then contact me and let me know.

The last time I made an open invite for guest posters dates were claimed quickly so if there is a specific Friday you would like to be featured on then I recommend you contact me sooner, rather than later.
