Let us make a bold statement here before we get to the topic of niches.
As an International Coach Academy certified coach, you will possess all the necessary skill to coach anyone. Anyone.
Even people in professions other than yours, from different parts of the world, and whose goals share little in common with yours. That’s what makes coaching so exciting!
This being said, we recommend you explore a coaching niche.
Just ask yourself, “who do I want to coach and who will most easily connect with me as coach?”
The answers to these questions, will help you decide where to focus your often – limited resources – time, money and energy – so you can do what you set out to do: serve others with the power of coaching.
When you add your specific life experience to the power of the coaching process, you bring to it a passion and energy that helps potential clients connect with you in a more immediate way. We see it as a great way to match your gifts with the needs of the world.
So here are some possible niches you may already have going for you: – Your profession such management consultant, teacher, social worker, real estate agent, ex-patriot. – Your family experiences such single mother, working father, and positive parenting devotee, parent of child with autism. – Your pursuits such as travel, sports, health and wellness, spirituality, art and creativity. At ICA we’ll teach you how to use these experiences and passions to develop your own unique coaching model and coach you in building a market and business plan for your niche.
