Craft of Coaching Podcast

In this conversation with Laura Simms, we get into whether or not you need to choose a niche as a life coach and how even when you do choose a niche, you aren't cutting yourself off to opportunities to work with different people as long as you keep the client's way of being at the forefront of your mind.
