for girls empowerment leaders Mar 20, 2025

You’re passionate about empowering girls. You’ve created your coaching program. You’re ready to make an impact.

But now you’re wondering…

❌ How do I actually find paying clients?
❌ Where do I start?
❌ How do I confidently sell my coaching without feeling pushy?

Good news—you don’t need a big following, a fancy website, or expensive ads to get your first 10 paying clients. You just need a clear strategy, a strong offer, and the confidence to put yourself out there.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how to get your first 10 clients as a Girls Empowerment Coach—so you can start making an impact (and income) right away.

 

Key Takeaways

  • Your first clients are already looking for what you offer—you just need to make it easy for them to say yes.
  • The fastest way to get booked is by offering a structured coaching program that solves a specific problem.
  • Schools, parents, and organizations are willing to pay for coaching programs for teen girls—you need to position yourself as the solution.
  • You don’t need a huge audience—your first clients will come from referrals, networking, and targeted outreach.
  • Confidence is key—believe in the value of your coaching, and others will too.

 

Step 1: Create an Irresistible Coaching Offer

Before you start finding clients, you need a clear coaching offer that tells people exactly what you do, who you help, and what results they can expect.

Your Coaching Offer Should Include:

βœ” Who it’s for – Teen girls? Tween girls? Moms & daughters?
βœ” What problem it solves – Confidence? Self-esteem? Leadership? Stress?
βœ” How it’s delivered – Group coaching? Workshops? 1:1 coaching?
βœ” What’s included – Coaching calls? Workbooks? Live Q&A?
βœ” The price – Be upfront so people know what to expect.

πŸ’‘ Example Coaching Offer:

"A 6-week group coaching program for teen girls to build confidence, set goals, and develop leadership skills. Includes weekly coaching calls, interactive activities, and a confidence journal. $297 per participant."

Tip: The clearer and more specific your offer is, the easier it is for people to say YES.

 

Step 2: Reach Out to Your Existing Network

Your first clients will likely come from people you already know—friends, family, former colleagues, or people in your local community.

How to Find Clients in Your Existing Network:

βœ” Tell people about your coaching business. (Many people don’t even know what you offer!)
βœ” Reach out to friends, teachers, youth leaders, and parents who might know a girl who would benefit.
βœ” Post on social media announcing your new coaching program.
βœ” Ask for referrals. (Even if someone doesn’t need coaching, they might know someone who does.)

πŸ’‘ Tip: Don’t assume people won’t be interested—people love recommending programs that help girls!

 

Step 3: Offer a Free Mini-Workshop to Build Trust

One of the fastest ways to attract paying clients is to offer a free mini-session to introduce your coaching.

How to Run a Free Mini-Workshop:

βœ” Pick a specific topic. Example: "3 Steps to Building Unstoppable Confidence"
βœ” Keep it short. 30–45 minutes is enough.
βœ” Give real value. Teach something practical that girls can use right away.
βœ” End with a strong offer. Example: "If you loved this session, my 6-week coaching program dives even deeper. Here’s how to join!"

πŸ’‘ Tip: Many coaches book their first paid clients directly from free workshops.

 

Step 4: Connect with Schools & Youth Organizations

Many schools, libraries, and community programs already have budgets for leadership and confidence programs—they just need a coach to bring them in.

How to Pitch Schools & Organizations:

βœ” Find the right contact person. (School counselors, principals, or program directors.)
βœ” Send a short, professional email.
βœ” Offer a free intro workshop.
βœ” Follow up! (Schools are busy—most bookings happen after a follow-up.)

Email Template for Schools & Organizations:

Subject: Confidence-Building Workshop for [School Name] Girls

Hi [Name],

My name is [Your Name], and I’m a Certified Girls Empowerment Coach. I specialize in helping girls develop confidence, leadership skills, and resilience through engaging, interactive workshops.

I’d love to bring my [Workshop Name] to [School Name]. This workshop helps girls [key benefits—ex: develop confidence, set goals, overcome self-doubt], and it aligns with [mention school priorities like SEL, leadership programs, or mental health initiatives].

Here’s what’s included:

  • A 60-90 minute interactive session with confidence-building activities and discussions
  • Practical tools for girls to apply in their daily lives
  • A flexible format (one-time workshop or multi-week series)

I’d love to chat about how this could be a great fit for your students. Do you have 15 minutes this week for a quick call?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best,
[Your Name]
[Your Website or Contact Info]

πŸ’‘ Tip: Schools and organizations love structured programs—make it easy for them to say YES.

 

Step 5: Use Social Media to Attract Clients

You don’t need a huge following to book clients—you just need to show up consistently and offer value.

What to Post on Social Media:

βœ” Confidence tips & mindset shifts
βœ” Success stories & testimonials
βœ” Behind-the-scenes of your coaching journey
βœ” Free mini-training sessions
βœ” Calls to action: "Join my upcoming coaching program!"

πŸ’‘ Tip: The more you share your mission, the more people will want to work with you.

 

Step 6: Follow Up & Stay Consistent

Many new coaches give up after one or two attempts—but the truth is, most people need multiple touchpoints before they say yes.

Follow-Up Strategy:

βœ” Follow up with potential clients 3–5 days after your first conversation.
βœ” Check in with schools & organizations after 1 week.
βœ” Send reminders & last-call messages before your program starts.

πŸ’‘ Tip: The fortune is in the follow-up—many clients will book simply because you stayed in touch!

 

Step 7: Deliver an Amazing Experience & Get Referrals

Once you book your first clients, go above and beyond to make your coaching experience unforgettable.

βœ” Engage & support your clients—help them see real transformation.
βœ” Ask for feedback & testimonials—social proof helps attract more clients.
βœ” Offer incentives for referrals—happy clients will recommend you to others.

πŸ’‘ Tip: Every successful coaching business grows through word-of-mouth and repeat clients.
