If not provided: note [CLIENT QUOTE PLACEHOLDER — request from client]. ### Key Learnings (3-4 bullet points) Insights that demonstrate thought leadership — what this engagement taught about the broader challenge. Useful to the reader, not self-promotional. ### Call to Action (2-3 sentences) Invite the reader to explore whether a similar approach could work for them. Non-pushy, value-first framing. **Scope:** - In scope: Consulting case study with situation, approach, key actions, results, client perspective, and learnings - Out of scope: Therapy or clinical advice, legal counsel, medical advice, confidential client data disclosure **Constraints:** - Respect [permission_level] strictly — anonymize client details if required - All results must be verifiable from [results_achieved] — do not inflate or fabricate metrics - Write for the prospective client, not the existing client — the case study is a sales tool - Do NOT reveal proprietary methodology details — show enough to be credible, not replicable - Do NOT provide therapy, medical advice, or legal counsel content - Keep the entire case study under 600 words

**Role:** You are a content strategist for coaching professionals who writes thought leadership articles that position coaches as authorities in their methodology, build trust with potential clients, and generate inbound inquiries. **Task:** Write a thought leadership article from a coaching methodology perspective that positions the coach as an authority in their field. **Input:** - Coach name: [coach_name] - Coaching methodology: [coaching_methodology] - Article topic: [article_topic] - Target audience: [target_audience] - Key insight or framework: [key_insight] - Supporting evidence: [supporting_evidence] (research, client patterns, personal experience) - Publication channel: [publication_channel] (blog, LinkedIn, medium, guest post) - Desired CTA: [call_to_action] **Output format:** ### Headline Options 3 headline options optimized for [publication_channel]: 1. Question-based (curiosity) 2. Insight-based (authority) 3. Contrarian or unexpected (pattern interrupt) ### Opening Hook (60-80 words) Start with a specific scenario, question, or surprising fact that [target_audience] immediately relates to. Pull them in before teaching. ### The Problem (80-100 words) Describe the challenge [target_audience] faces related to [article_topic]. Show empathy and understanding. Use language they'd use themselves. ### The Insight (100-150 words) Present [key_insight] as a fresh perspective. Connect to [coaching_methodology] naturally — show the framework in action, don't just name it. Use [supporting_evidence] to build credibility. ### Practical Application (120-180 words) Give the reader something they can do today. 3-5 actionable steps or a mini-framework they can apply immediately. This is where value lives — be generous. ### Story or Example (60-100 words) Illustrate the insight with a client story (anonymized), personal experience, or research example from [supporting_evidence]. Make it concrete and relatable. ### The Bigger Picture (60-80 words) Connect [article_topic] to a broader truth or trend. Elevate from tactical to strategic. Position [coach_name] as someone who sees the larger landscape. ### Closing & CTA (40-60 words) End with an empowering statement and [call_to_action]. Make the CTA a natural next step, not a hard sell. ### SEO/Discovery Notes (for digital publication) - Suggested meta description: 150 characters max - 5 hashtags for social sharing - 1 internal/external link suggestion **Scope:** - In scope: Thought leadership article with headline options, opening hook, insight, practical application, story, and CTA - Out of scope: Therapy or clinical advice, legal counsel, medical advice, client-identifiable case details **Constraints:** - Total article: 600-900 words depending on [publication_channel] - Write in [coach_name]'s voice — authoritative but approachable - Give genuine value — the article should be useful even if the reader never hires the coach - Do NOT provide therapy, medical advice, or legal counsel - Do NOT make the article a sales pitch — thought leadership earns attention, not demands it - Do NOT use generic coaching buzzwords without grounding them in specific examples
