When I first became a certified coach, I didn’t follow the usual path.
While many coaches jump into working with adults, I felt called to serve a group often overlooked in the coaching world: kids.
And I’ve never looked back!
In fact, I’ve built my entire business around life coaching for kids, and I believe that for many coaches, specializing in this area isn’t just fulfilling, it’s one of the smartest decisions you can make to grow a sustainable and impactful business.
The World Needs More Kids’ Coaches—Now More Than Ever
There are thousands of adult coaches out there. But ask any parent where to find a certified life coach for kids and you’ll likely be met with a confused look or a long pause. That’s because this field is still new, and the need is massive.
Children today are growing up in a world full of pressure, distraction, and emotional challenges. They’re experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, and stress at younger and younger ages. And most are not being taught the mindset skills they need to manage it.
That’s where we come in.
As a WISDOM Coach®, I help kids develop confidence, resilience, self-leadership, and courage—skills that many adults wish they’d had growing up. The transformations I see aren’t just powerful, they’re often life-changing. Not only for the child, but for the entire family.
A Growing Business, A Growing Impact
People often ask me, “But can you really build a full business just coaching kids?”
Yes. You absolutely can!
Because this is a niche that is underserved but in high demand. Parents are actively seeking solutions to help their children thrive and when they discover life coaching, especially story-based coaching like the WISDOM System, it clicks.
They see results. They talk. Referrals happen. And your business grows.
What’s more, because there are so few trained life coaches for kids, you stand out. Unlike the crowded adult coaching market, this niche allows you to shine and make a name for yourself.
Coaching Kids Is Different and That’s the Beauty of It
Kids don’t need lectures. They need connection, conversation, and creativity. They need a coach who understands how to teach mindset skills in a way that’s fun and engaging.
With story-based coaching, I’m able to bring important lessons to life. Kids don’t just understand the skills, they apply them. And they remember them!
This isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about building what’s strong, starting at a young age. As Frederick Douglass once said, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”
A Message to Fellow Coaches: Consider Specializing
If you’re a coach looking to make a deeper impact…
If you’re feeling lost in the noise of adult coaching spaces…
If you believe that mindset is the key to lasting transformation…
…Then I encourage you to consider specializing in life coaching for kids.
There’s an entire generation waiting to be empowered. And you could be the coach who helps them get there!
It’s Not Just a Niche, It’s a Calling
I chose to build my business around coaching kids, not as a stepping stone, but as a purpose. And I’ve watched this niche not only transform children’s lives, but also create a heart-centered, fulfilling business that I’m incredibly proud of.
If you’re a coach who wants to stand out, make a real impact, and grow a business that aligns with your values, consider life coaching for kids.
And the best part? You won’t be doing it alone.
When you become a Certified WISDOM Coach®, you join a global community of like-minded coaches who are passionate about empowering the next generation. You get access to tools, training, mentorship, and a tribe of people who believe, like you do, that the world needs more empowered kids.
The need is real. The impact is lasting. The time is now.
