Where do these cards come from? We computed every figure on this page from public posts with MagicPost's LinkedIn analytics: median engagement per theme, share of feed, theme premiums and trajectories, across 317 creators and 13,663 coaching posts. It works on your profile too, including a side-by-side with anyone on this list.

Which coaching creators just missed the top 20?

Five names sit right behind the cut, the closest 26 likes short of number twenty:

Daniela Luque Díaz (#21) and Nikolett Jaksa (#22) tie on 263 median likes. Daniela Luque Díaz has the biggest audience of the five, 553k followers, and the busiest feed: 1,088 posts in 12 months, of which coaching is 1%.

Graham Nicholls, at #25, gives coaching 54% of his feed, one of the 15 creators in the pool who give it at least half. Nikolett Jaksa (#22) draws the most comments of the five, a median of 228, and Andrea Petrone (#24) earns 51% less on coaching than on a usual post.

Which LinkedIn coaching creators have the highest engagement rate?

Raw likes flatter the largest followings, so divide by reach: engagement rate on coaching posts, median likes divided by followers (20k followers and over):

Four of the five also sit in the top 20: Dr. Angela Kerek (#14), Davis Nguyen (#16), Roos Jansen (#19) and Guillaume Guerra (#3). The first three run accounts under 35,000 followers; Guillaume Guerra is the only one above 100k.

Amy Kelly, a nervous system and identity coach in the United States, places fourth on 22k followers.

Inside the top 20, engagement rate runs from Dr. Angela Kerek's 1.29% down to 0.02% for Tony Robbins. For how coaching compares with other subjects, see our study of LinkedIn engagement rate by topic.

Which coaching creators get the most total likes on LinkedIn?

One more cut counts the total likes on coaching posts over 12 months, where frequent posters gain ground:

David Citron leads with 40,311 likes on 76 coaching posts. Ronnie Kinsey is second on 19, and our number one, Jasmin Alić, sixth on 11.

Six of the eight come from the top 20. Marshall Goldsmith (97 posts) and Théophile Laroussinie (148, the most in the table) make the table on volume from outside the top 20.

Which LinkedIn coaching creator gets the most comments per post?

This cut divides comments by likes. The record in our coaching pool belongs to Florence Grégeois, a business coach in France who works on authority marketing, with 21k followers: 120 median comments against 115 median likes, about 1.04 comments for every like.

Meera Remani, an executive coach for senior leaders and founders based in Germany, at 1.00, and Mariya Aumont, a life coach in France who writes in French, at 0.90, complete the podium (counting creators with 100+ median likes).

Inside the top 20, the typical creator gets one comment for every 5 likes. Jasmin Alić comes closest to one for one, at about 0.7.

Do the top LinkedIn coaching creators post mostly about coaching?

Almost none of them. Of the 317 creators who post about coaching consistently, 15 give it at least half their feed, and one of them is in this top 20: David Citron, at 71%. After him come Roos Jansen (29%), then Ian Tenenbaum and Davis Nguyen (12% each).

At the other end, Dan Go and Chandrakumar R Pillai give coaching 2% of their feed. Our number one, Jasmin Alić, gives it 6%.

On this theme the share does not predict the premium. The largest premium, Dr. Angela Kerek's +133%, comes on a 10% share; the second-largest, Chandrakumar R Pillai's +90%, on 2%. The two steepest discounts, Ronnie Kinsey's -50% and Reno Perry's -42%, come on 5% and 3%.

In all, 16 of the 20 earn more on coaching than on their other posts. The four who earn less are Ronnie Kinsey, Reno Perry, Dan Go (-14%) and Elizabeth Kershaw (-9%).

Several names here coach the mind more than the business. David Citron and Ian Tenenbaum work with people who have ADHD, Maya Raichoora teaches mental fitness and Dr. Angela Kerek writes on the inner game of performance.

For posts filed under mental health itself, see the top LinkedIn mental health creators, where Dan Go ranks 20th.

The top 20 spreads across 11 countries: 8 creators are based in the United States and 3 in the United Kingdom, with one each in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Thailand.

Four of them also rank in our country series: besides Roos Jansen and Chandrakumar R Pillai, Vinh Giang is sixth in Australia and Dan Go sixth in Canada. The other country pages: the United States, the UK, France, the full series.

Is this a ranking of the top LinkedIn coaches?

Not quite, and the difference changes the names. This page ranks posts about coaching, whoever writes them. Guillaume Guerra, a wealth adviser, ranks third here, and he is third among the top LinkedIn consultants too.

Our coaches ranking starts from the person instead: the 867 creators our classification files as coaches, ranked on median likes across everything they post, with a 30-post floor. A coach who rarely posts about coaching can rank high there and be absent here.

Five names appear on both pages, with their rank among the coaches:

• Jasmin Alić: third

• Tony Robbins: ninth

• Ronnie Kinsey: tenth

• Reno Perry: 17th

• Heather Monahan: 18th

Mentoring, productivity and learning are not counted as coaching in our classification: posts on those subjects rank in the top LinkedIn personal development creators, a separate list with no name in common with this one.

And if showing up in these creators' comment sections is part of your plan, an engagement feed keeps it to a five-minute daily habit.

How we ranked the top LinkedIn coaching creators

All of this is MagicPost's own research. We went through 13,663 coaching posts from the last 12 months and ranked 317 creators by median likes on their coaching posts.

Only creators with at least one post in the last 60 days are ranked. The method:

• Floors: at least 5,000 followers and 10 coaching posts in the window; deleted posts excluded.

• Median rather than average: no single viral post can buy a place.

• Coaching posts only: each post gets a topic from our own classification. The author's job does not count.

• Coaching posts analyzed: the posts our dataset holds per creator, sometimes fewer than they published.

• Per creator: share of feed, premium over their own median, coaching median by year, engagement rate and comment ratio.

Sixteen of the twenty medians rest on fewer than 20 coaching posts, five of them on exactly 10, our number one's on 11, so a few posts can move any rank. Rankings refresh as the data does. No placement here was sponsored; every rank comes straight from the median.

Study them, then study yourself. With MagicPost you can analyze any coaching creator the way we just did (median engagement by theme, share of feed, premiums, trajectory) and benchmark your own profile against the pool. The data on this page is the product.
