A few months ago, I was on a group call with Pete Vargas. If you’re not familiar with Pete, he’s known as the Stage Whisperer, and is one of the most influential coaches when it comes to public speaking. Before this call, I had no interest in speaking in public, hosting a webinar, or giving a talk at my local gym or co-op—or why I’d even want to do those things, especially since I tend to be more on the introverted side.
Turns out, it’s one of the best ways to grow your health coaching business. In fact, talks and webinars can:
You don’t have to be an awesome speaker when you first start. You do, however, need to have an interesting topic. Something that allows you to share your story and your special sauce. And of course, something your niche audience is interested in learning more about.

Want to brainstorm your own list of topics? Start by getting clear on your niche audience. Really visualize who you’re excited about helping. Then, consider the health challenges you’re passionate about, which likely includes struggles you had during your own health transformation. Finally, think about what people always ask you at parties, on social media, or at family reunions. Or what message you’re dying to share with the world.
Public speaking events and webinars are both smart ways to grow your health coaching business. Not only do they get the word out about what you do, they position you as an expert in your field—whether you’ve been a health coach for years or you’re working toward your certification in a program like the Primal Health Coach Institute. You know more than you think you do, and by hosting webinars and talks at your gym, yoga studio, school, or naturopath’s office, you can share your message in a way that reaches hundreds or even thousands of potential new clients.
