As the year 2022 comes to a close, we find ourselves asking, “what learning opportunities can we take hold of from this past year that might serve us in the future?” Many ideas come to mind including the many podcasts that have become available this year that promote the exploration of executive coaching. As we pondered which podcasts might be the most useful to executive coaches, leadership coaches, organizational development coaches, business leaders, business owners, CEOs, and key-level executives, we dug into what data, Google Analytics, ListenNotes, Apple Podcasts, RSS feed monitors, podcast backlinks, citation indexes, and other sources tell us about this year’s top podcasts. This article unveils our research and the 35 best well-known, new, and niche executive coaching podcasts of 2022.
“It’s important to learn from your mistakes, but it is better to learn from other people’s mistakes, and it is best to learn from other people’s successes. It accelerates your own success.” - Jim Rohn
Introduction
A keyword search conducted on Google on November 26, 2022, for the words ‘executive coach podcast’ yielded 11,800,000 results. DemandSage.com reports that ‘The United States has the most podcast listeners.’ They predict that in 2022, there will be over 100 million active podcast listeners in the US. After the US, Scandinavian countries have the highest podcast penetration rate of podcast listeners. As of today, ListenNotes reports that there are currently 2,981,949 active podcasts and 66 million episodes globally. From this list, we have analyzed these podcasts, their themes, content, and missions. We have looked at their popularity, Google organic search Rankings, ListenNote Rankings, and other forms of podcast informatics to determine what we believe are the 35 best executive coaching podcasts of 2022, including a few honorable mentions.
"If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself." - Henry Ford
How the list was curated
The methodology used to create the Arete Coach 35 Best Executive Coaching Industry Podcasts of 2022 ranking is as follows.
First, we focused on podcasts whose purpose is to advance the art and/or science of executive coaching using content that is congruent with the generally accepted practices and definitions of coaching promulgated by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), EMCC Global, International Coaching Association (ICA), and Association for Coaching. In preparing the list, we intentionally leaned towards the inclusion of executive coaching material that is consistent with current evidence-based coaching research. The goal here was to underscore the humorous and sage words of the late Professor Anthony (“Tony”) Grant, where he stated that our aim should be ‘taking out the sham, and putting in the wham’ through the curation of evidence-based coaching research and practices.
Second, we gave highest priority to podcasts under Google’s organic search results of the phrase: “Executive Coach Podcast'' in which we included the top 10 Google organic search page results and the top 10 Google organic display rank for podcast series. Any podcasts that did not have at least a 25 minimum listener audience score on ListenNotes was excluded. Organic Google Search results were important in our research as they indicate how relevant a podcast is to specific 'executive coaching' search terms. According to MorningScore.io, "Google ranks web pages and podcasts through the use of web crawlers that scan and index podcast pages. Every page gets rated according to Google's opinion of its authority and usefulness to the end-user. Then, using an algorithm with over 210 known factors, Google orders them on a search result page." Using this Google organic search method, we determined the top 12 executive coach podcasts and similarly ranked them from 1 to 12. Between the two Google organic search page ranks and display series, there were two ties at 3rd and 7th position. In these instances, we judged the Google organic display rank for series (highlighting trending recency and frequency) above the Google Organic page ranking. Other than this variation, there was no variation in the top ranks from the Google organic search page ranks. From the consolidated top 10 lists, there were a total of 12 podcasts that made our top podcasts list.
Third, we examined a variety of additional podcasts germane to executive coaching where we deemed the content appropriate for executive coaches, leadership coaches, organizational development coaches, business leaders, business owners, CEOs, and key-level executives. From these executive coaching related podcasts, we included all podcasts with a ListenNotes Listen Score of 50 or higher, meaning they are highly popular among large audiences. A Listen Score is a metric created by ListenNotes "that shows the estimated popularity” of a podcast as “compared to other RSS-based public podcasts in the world on a scale from 0 to 100.”
Fourth, we added into our consideration additional podcasts related to executive coaching where the podcasts were listed as being in the top 200 podcasts on Apple Podcasts in the categories of “management” and/or “business.”
Fifth, we collected and ranked a secondary group of executive coaching podcasts starting from position 13 onwards, wherein we ranked these podcasts first by their ListenNotes listener audience score, and where there were ties, we secondarily ranked the podcasts by the number of identified podcast backlinks to other sites (being a practice that Google and research scholars use to determine relevance and importance of a document). From this secondary group, we prioritized the podcasts from rank 13 to 35.
Lastly, we included several honorable mentions where the podcasts were either new or niche that we believe would be of value to our executive coach podcast listeners.
"Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don’t." - Bill Nye
Initial takeaways
Observations from our 35 Best Executive Coaching Industry Podcasts of 2022 list are below:
In the list of 35, the top 10 podcasts closely map to the top 10 Google organic search page results for “executive coach podcast”— taking 10 of the top 12 spots.
Google organic search display links shown by podcast icons or cover pages showcase currently trending podcast series (and appear to favor podcast episode recency and frequency). On review, only four of the top 10 Google organic search display results for a ‘executive coach podcast’ series had ListenNote scores of 25 or greater and made the cut; representing ranks 1, 2, 3, and 7.
Interestingly, when examining the top 10 podcasts shown on Google organic search results by page and display series, only the first two podcasts appeared on both ranks, and they each maintain the number 1 and 2 spots on our final list.
The top 10 podcasts average 190 podcast episodes each with an average ListenNotes audience score of 44.6.
The top 35 podcasts average 201 podcast episodes each.
The majority of executive coaching podcasts that made our list have weekly episodes. One of the podcasts that made our list has daily episodes and five publish podcasts only periodically.

On Dare to Lead with Brené Brown, she shares “conversations with change catalysts, culture-shifts, and more than a few troublemakers who are innovating, creating, and daring to lead.” Brené Brown is a researcher at the University of Houston and a storyteller who’s “spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy.” Unfortunately, this podcast is only available on Spotify or her website, nor does the podcast rank on ListenNotes to gauge the listening audience. However, I can say that one of her guest episodes on another podcast, created a ListenNotes score of 73. Her Dare to Lead podcast covers topics such as mentorship, company culture, quiet quitting, engagement, and leading through crisis.

In executive coaching, we coach the whole person and that often includes dealing with personal life issues that are impacting the leader and their business. There are few things that will cut one’s financial worth in half quicker than a divorce. The Small Things Often Podcast, is a podcast from the Gottman Institute, that explores how “successful long-term relationships are created through small words, small gestures, and small acts.” With each episode of the podcast, listeners are given “simple, proven, quick tips to help [them] deepen and enhance [their] relationships.” The podcasts are short, and their impact is long. This podcast is highly recommended for any that wish to improve their own relationships or help others strengthen their relationships with others. Topics discussed in the Small Things Often podcast include humor, marriage and family, conflict management, and other topics related to relationships, marriage, and communication.

In closing
