For years I’ve been hired primarily by coaches and I love it. But I’ve resisted choosing them as a niche because I LOATHE most of the marketing that targets coaches.
I didn’t want to be lumped into that icky bucket of hype-sters.
On January 5th I realized two things:
1. Worrying about what people will think of me is about ego/fear/me and…
2. By NOT raising my voice and claiming my space, I give the marketers I object to more power and more influence over the coaching industry that I love.

So… I’m claiming it.
I specialize in working with coaches and I love it.
Special thanks to Lisa @coachingwithlp for the kind ass-kicking.
I too have resisted choosing a niche for years but I know that I have something to offer Black women leaders based on my experience. It has also been the focus of my phd research. Thanks for your prompt to lean into that calling as a coach.
Ahhh, Valeria. My heart is smiling now. Thank you for this.
Choosing a niche was one of the best business decisions I made! Congratulations, Mary, for claiming the niche where you would like to share your expertise!
