If you’re a new life coach feeling stuck trying to “figure out your niche,” this episode will shift everything.
In this short Ask a Coach episode, Trista challenges the idea that clarity and confidence come from precision. Instead, she introduces a powerful concept inspired by the work of Steve Chandler: coaches don’t need a niche—they need a stand.
A stand creates energy. A stand builds trust. A stand gives people a reason to follow you.
This episode is for coaches who are tired of waiting to feel ready and are ready to lead—imperfectly, courageously, and intentionally.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- Why trying to nail your niche often keeps you stuck
- The difference between a niche and a stand—and why a stand matters more
- How conviction creates confidence (not the other way around)
- What it really means to lead yourself as a coach
- How to define what you stand for without overthinking it
Key Takeaways:
- Confidence is built through commitment and action
- Emotional resilience is a skill, not a personality trait
- You don’t need to fix yourself before you move forward
- Leadership starts when you stop waiting for certainty
- People follow clarity, not perfection
Quote from the Episode:
“People don’t follow niches. They follow clarity. They follow certainty. They follow someone who is willing to take a stand.”
If this episode resonated, ask yourself one powerful question today:
What do I stand for strongly enough that I’m willing to say it out loud?
And then start there.
