and that if you’re not experiencing ‘success’ it’s because something is wrong with you, your level of commitment or your mindset.
Hi! I'm Allegra!
I’m here to tell you:
the problem isn't you.
I'm tired of amazing coaches being told that there's one right way to build a coaching practice...

About
The idea that there is one right way to be a coach or build a practice takes none of this into account so I’m taking a stand and misfit to maverick is my rebellion!
We are all unique, creative, interesting individuals who have our own strengths and coaching styles.
I spent almost 8 years trying to build my practice in a way that mirrored what I believed – and was told – was the right way to do things.
I created the Niching Compass and built the Misfit to Maverick community to share with coaches everything I wish I’d known when I first started, especially if you’re feeling discouraged about your coaching practice and can’t seem to find a path forward that’s a good fit (like I was!).
Each time I tried to fit my new projects into the ‘right way’ box, they’d burst out – leaving me feeling inspired but also disheartened by all my ‘off plan’ ideas.
I invested in countless programs and coaches, which all promised to grow my business if I followed the plan to the letter.
I’d want to change my niche, or activate a new idea, or do something different and ‘off-plan’. I’d build a list and then ignore it, abandon a niche to explore working with someone new.
... but it never felt right.
It wasn’t until I really understood how I prefer to WORK – honouring my own strengths, values, skills and interests via YouMap (a tool I’m now certified in, and a key part of the Niching Compass program, the flagship course in Misfit to Maverick), that all of the dots started to connect.
Turns out I wasn’t doing anything wrong, I was simply doing things MY way.
Which is what I want for you.
Misfit to Maverick is the launchpad. You are the rocket. Let’s go.
You just want to coach. And it’s time to start.
I spent 2+ years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Bulgaria.
I moved solo from LA to NYC to join Teach For America, and spent 5 years teaching middle and high school biology.
I’ve tracked mountain lions in the Malibu Mountains and civet cats in the lowlands of Nepal.
ok here goes...
