Coach Academy · Stage 1 of 5
Quick answer
Choose a coaching niche by naming the specific person you help and the specific result you get them. A clear niche like "career coaching for mid-career engineers" is far easier to market and price than "life coaching," because prospects instantly recognize themselves and the outcome you deliver.
Key takeaways
Everything you need for the find your niche stage, strongest first.
To grow efficiently, yes. Generalist coaches compete on price and are hard to refer. A clear niche sharpens your marketing, makes referrals easier, and lifts your rates because the value is obvious.
You can adjust. Most successful coaches refine their niche in the first year based on which clients they enjoy and which results they get. Start specific, then adapt from real data.
Rarely, at the start. A niche is too narrow only if too few people have the problem or the budget to pay. Most new coaches err far too broad, not too narrow.
