The Coach's Journey - build a coaching business with integrity

Episode #22: Allegra Stein - How to Flourish as a Coaching Misfit


Listen Later

Described as "a breath of fresh air in the coaching industry", Allegra Stein is a self-styled coaching misfit.

With a background in wildlife biology and a career that included two years as a fishing conservationist in Bulgaria, Allegra's is a unique and captivating journey into coaching. Her coaching community, Misfit To Maverick, challenges what she calls "The Coaching Industrial Complex" and offers an alternative path to success that is built around authenticity and self-knowledge.

She draws on her background as an educator and ecologist to illuminate the idea of a coaching niche as a supportive, nourishing environment, and a habitat in which individuals can flourish. As she says: “Who you are is as much a part of your niche as who you want to help and how you do your work.”

In this episode, we talk about:

The tiny practices that make up the big picture of ‘create a paying client’.

How the language of coaching often holds us back.

Focusing on your strengths as a coach instead of getting bogged down in building a business.

Why there is no ideal combination of strengths to be an effective coach.

Plus Allegra tells us about the many different things she has done to grow her business - from writing, to running free workshops, to a ‘coach-and-dine’ event - and we speak frankly about the financial success of our coaching businesses.
