Finding Your Coaching Specialty — The Key to Standing Out and Getting Clients

You’ve earned your coaching certification, poured hours into training, and felt the spark that led you to this career. But now that you’re officially a coach, you’re stuck staring at the next big hurdle:

How do I actually get clients?
And where do I even start?

If you’re like most newly qualified coaches, you’re excited… but overwhelmed. You know you have something to offer, but you keep circling the same question:

“What’s my coaching specialty?”

It’s a question that can feel paralyzing, especially when everyone’s telling you to niche down, get specific, and build a brand. But how are you supposed to choose a niche when you’ve barely worked with real clients?

This blog will help you move past the uncertainty, start doing, and use your first steps to naturally uncover your coaching specialty—while positioning you to start getting clients now.

Why You’re Struggling to Choose a Coaching Specialty

Choosing a coaching niche feels important—because it is. But here’s why it often becomes a sticking point for new coaches:

1. Too many interests, not enough clarity
   You enjoy mindset work, but also love talking about career development. Maybe you’re drawn to wellness, but you’ve also helped friends through breakups. You could be good at a lot of things, but you don’t know what to lead with.
   
   

2. Fear of making the wrong choice
   Many coaches worry: "If I choose the wrong niche, I’ll waste time or miss opportunities." This fear creates hesitation, keeping you from taking action and building momentum.
   
   

3. No real client feedback yet
   It’s hard to pick a specialty without having worked with enough people to know what lights you up—and what actually sells.
   
   

4. Marketing pressure
   The internet is full of polished coaches who seem to have their brand and message perfectly nailed. You compare your beginning to their middle—and feel like you’re falling short.
   
   

Here’s the truth: You don’t need to have your coaching specialty figured out to get started. In fact, the fastest way to find your specialty is to start coaching now.

Action Leads to Clarity — Not the Other Way Around

Many coaches try to figure out their niche in isolation—journaling, thinking, planning, and researching for weeks or months.

But clarity rarely comes from overthinking. It comes from experience.

When you start coaching real people, even in a general way, you’ll begin to notice:

• The problems you love solving

• The energy you bring to certain conversations

• The kind of people you naturally connect with

• The transformations that feel most meaningful to you

This hands-on approach helps you refine your focus and messaging naturally. You don’t have to wait to “figure it all out” before you start serving and earning.

But this leads to another big question: Where do you find those first clients?

How to Start Finding Your Coaching Specialty the Right Way

Let’s walk through a step-by-step plan for discovering your niche while building real momentum:

Step 1: Create a Free Profile on Love2Coach

Start by signing up and completing your coach profile. Don’t overthink it—focus on sharing who you are, why you became a coach, and what you can offer. List a few types of sessions based on areas you’re curious to explore.

Step 2: Offer a Variety of Services

You don’t have to commit to just one area. Try offering a few different session types (e.g., life clarity calls, career transition coaching, confidence boosters). Watch which ones attract interest.

Step 3: Coach and Reflect

As you begin working with clients, ask yourself:

• What sessions energize me the most?

• Where do I feel the most competent?

• What feedback do I keep hearing from clients?

• Which topics do I enjoy talking about—even off the clock?

These insights are pure gold in shaping your future focus.

Step 4: Collect Testimonials

Ask clients to leave reviews after their sessions. This builds credibility and improves your visibility on the platform. Even if you’re experimenting, social proof will help attract more bookings.

Step 5: Refine Based on Results

After a few clients, you’ll naturally start seeing patterns—certain services getting more attention, certain clients getting the best results. That’s when you start refining your niche.

You don’t need to rebrand everything. Just begin narrowing your focus and updating your profile to reflect the clarity you’ve gained through experience.

Real Growth Starts with Taking Action

The biggest trap new coaches fall into is waiting.

Waiting to feel ready.
Waiting for the perfect website.
Waiting until they know their niche.
Waiting until they have a brand strategy.

But waiting doesn’t lead to clarity. Action does.

Every seasoned coach you admire today started out unsure. They got certified, launched anyway, took messy action, and refined along the way.

You can do the same—and Love2Coach makes it simple, risk-free, and fully supportive of your growth.
