212. Does Your Niche Have to Match Your Purpose?
Welcome to Coaches on a Mission. You've got three important steps to take as you listen to all of the episodes on this show (they're pretty binge-worthy, aren't they?).
My guest today is Matt Winters who recently changed his niche away from helping gay men go from feeling stuck and lonely to having the authentic connections they want in all areas of life. Now, Matt plans to leverage a career full of experience to help leaders relate to people as humans instead of as simply resources. Matt came to the conversation feeling conflicted and murky and he felt stuck. The two of us started by just questioning the idea that if you are indeed values driven, every aspect of your work must be filled to the brim with purpose. From there, we just explored Matt’s new niche and addressed each fear he had around it. Then, we wrapped things up by identifying three clear steps Matt can take to complete some marketing research and start bringing in new clients. Matt showed up with so much authenticity and care throughout the episode. You’ll hear it right away. And as coaches, there’s nothing better than working with an open hearted, truly coachable client, which was 100% Matt. By the end of our conversation, I think we both felt grounded and clear about how purpose and meaning show up everywhere when you are a person who cares about purpose and meaning.
