A community for coaches who want to do things their own way, where the coach and the coaching come first
I’ve got great news. You can be your authentic self AND build an aligned coaching practice. In fact, the more of YOU that you bring into your work, the more sustainable your path will be.
When did it become so difficult to
simply start coaching?
Niche drama reigns!
You're stuck in the black hole of “Everything But Coaching”:
You’re wondering if you’re doing coaching the “right way”:
The Four Fatal Flaws Of The Coaching Industrial Complex (CIC):
These four narratives are powerful.
And I totally disagree with them.
Imagine if you could….
The Niching Compass taught me to really embrace my values, strengths, and what makes me unique. Allegra is fun, inspiring, and encourages you to explore what's possible for you. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and her strength as an activator really helped get me into action.
This work is perfect if you can't decide on a niche, feel stuck in your coaching business, can't seem to find any clients or don't really know what makes you different as a coach.
Coaching with Allegra is like having her shine a light on you, where you feel seen, heard, and truly supported.

As a result of this program, I now have clarity on who I am as a coach and as a stand for others in the work of coaching. I am clear on my contribution and that has given me new language and a frame to build coaching work around. It was like a beautiful journey inward and also outward with Allegra as the guide.
I have created clear language for my strengths and contribution as a coach, a defined space around "Your Camp Counselor”, and a mechanism to shine my light (blog, instagram, website).
I feel confident in what kind of coaching would light me up and feel aligned and what wouldn't and my coaching offer, Idea Camp, is in motion!

HI! I'm Allegra!
Lesson #1: The way to build a sustainable, aligned coaching practice is to first focus on the coaching.
Lesson #2: There is no “proven system” or one right way. But there is a right way for you.
Lesson #3: You’re not doing things wrong, you’re doing things your way – and that’s a beautiful thing.
Lesson #4: Who YOU are is as much a part of your niche as who you want to help. In fact, you can experiment with and change your niche and not have to start over!!

The flagship course in Misfit to Maverick and the essential first step for every member. You’ll have access to the entire 8-chapter Niching Compass Program and workbook, leading you step by step through your YouMap and introducing the theory behind the project-based approach to getting your coaching off the ground.
Clarify, build confidence in, and communicate your unique coaching style (your Special Sauce!), simplify the process of niching, start sharing your work with others, and close the gap between you and your next coaching client.
Introducing: Misfit to Maverick
a community for coaches who want to do things their own way, where the coach and the coaching comes first
Your Misfit to Maverick Membership includes:
Map out your goals, give voice to your resistance and roadblocks, and receive tailored coaching on how to align what’s available in the membership to your unique needs.
This 1:1 coaching session will help you and Allegra get to know each other, so she can offer you the personalized support inside her Niching Compass Course & community coaching.
The backbone of the Niching Compass course, YouMap is a holistic, intuitive, and actionable tool for deepening self-awareness of your unique Strengths, Values, Skills and Interests. Understanding these work preferences is essential to embracing your coaching style and choosing aligned business models and tools.
I decided to join the Niching Compass after finishing my coaching Certification and wondering what comes next. Allegra brought me the realization that I was free to create my coaching experience the way I wanted, not in the way of someone else.
Now I am following my own path, my own journey, reaching out, taking risks, learning by doing, and being myself.
This is more a journey of self-discovery, a good fit for a coach who is uncomfortable with the current approach to a 'coaching business'
Working with Allegra is an exploration into your true self, like traveling with a guiding star that leads you do your own place in the galaxy.
I have started to embrace and love my strengths and can see that there are people who need those gifts.
I can also say out loud with confidence that I am a coach. Before the Niching compass, I was afraid to share that part of me and now, as a result of this work, I feel more comfortable sharing that part of my life with others.
This program has given wings to my dreams and ideas. Allegra’s adaptability is the cure to my anxiety and burnout, helping me understand that this is not about perfection. It’s about experimenting, learning and adapting.

I can’t think of a BETTER time to be a part of this community. At the VERY least, I think EVERY coach should have their YouMap as soon as possible in their coaching journey. You’ll be getting that plus a whole lot more. If you want to be encouraged to TRUST YOURSELF from day 1, this is the place to be.
No other coaching program for coaches starts with your YouMap, your personalized, one-of-a-kind profile highlighting your unique strengths, values, skills and interests. I believe this is THE most important step for any new coach (or seasoned coaching looking for a fresh start!)
In addition, this is not a "one size fits all" or "proven system" model that is going to teach you THE one-and-only-way to build your practice. Rather, we'll help you carve your own path, align to your quirks and personality, and stay focused on the most important part of your work -- your coaching.
Below are some answers to a feedback question I ask my Niching Compass coaches, "how is this approach different from other programs?"
No - that is not my zone of genius, nor is it the focus of this program. I am going to teach you how to be more you, work in alignment with your work preferences, stay focused and trust yourself. That said, we won't avoid The Business of Coaching - we'll just make sure it's coming in the right order and not increasing the gap between you and your next conversation. In addition, I will be bringing in amazing Guest Teachers every month who will teach on relevant and creative business practices!
Honestly, I would love if connecting with this space was something that started your coaching day -- not to linger as a form of avoiding, or to become another Everything But Coaching distraction, but to state your goals, journal your progress, ask for help as needed, offer words of support to another coach who may need it -- and then get out there and take some action.
During the first couple of months of your membership, to get the most out of the Niching Compass course you’ll want to set aside at least an hour of time each week to watch the lessons and spend time with the workbook. It is strongly encouraged that you also come to at least one of the two Niching Compass coaching calls each month.
No problem! Send me an email at allegra@allegrastein.com and we’ll get you set!
As a result of this experience, I think I am kinder and more patient with myself. I understand now that coaching is not a linear process, but a journey that unfolds step by step, and I now have the courage to take the next step and do what feels right for now. I don't have to have it all figured out - I just need to take the next best step.
This community is a place where one can be oneself. It's patient and yet strongly encouraging. It's wise from a deep well. It's a space you can come to discover, and you won't be shamed or made less than for not "crushing it". It's a place where you can discover who you are, now in your life and you don't have to have it all figured out!

I decided to join Allegra’s program after I'd finished my coaching certification but wasn't quite sure how to get started with creating clients.
As a result I've learned a lot more about my ideal client's language through a Conversation Project, have created three new clients and may have 2-3 additional clients coming on board next week. I'm moving forward with my coaching practice, even though I'm still nervous about it.
Allegra is both insightful and encouraging. Her approach to coaching would be a good fit if you’re afraid or unsure of how to get started, or excited about coaching but can't figure out how to connect with potential clients.

I am so fed up by this narrative because 1) it puts the coaching LAST on the list, 2) for many of us creative, amazing, mis-fitty types, this is not the path we want to be on, and 3) trying to follow all of these rules is keeping us from trusting ourselves and accessing our deeper wisdom and capabilities.
We want to do things our own way. To be more interesting, creative, and a maverick in the coaching world. We want to learn THROUGH coaching, not as a result of mastering Everything But Coaching.
If you’re ready to get your coaching off the ground in a way that is more simple, fun, creative, and sustainable, Misfit to Maverick is for you.
The coaching Industry pumps out a pretty loud message:
