Carousels are one of Instagram’s best-kept engagement secrets. Unlike single-image posts, they encourage swiping, extend time on page, and trigger save actions all signals the algorithm loves. For leadership coaches, carousels offer the perfect medium to demystify frameworks, showcase wins, and invite interactive learning.
