This is a great list! May I share this at a workshop I’m giving to professional organizers to help them grow their business? I will put your name/web site on the page.
Hello – I am an architect. I want to change careers and I am looking for career coach in the Boston area who has some experience working with architects – who understands the business.
Architecture is on your list of career coaching niches. Do you know of any such coaches in the Boston area? There are plenty of coaches around here but I have not found one who specializes.
Thank you. K. Logue
Love the list! And that is only designating them by profession! There are SO many ways to define a niche! As a side note, I noticed the comment by K Logue….I am a Life Purpose Coach who used to work in architecture, so is they are still looking, I would appreciate it if you could send them my way!! Otherwise, keep up the great work!
Great list. Thank you. Will be very useful to a starter in the coaching career.
