How much should I pay for an executive coach?
Executive coaching rates vary widely, often ranging from $200 to $700+ per hour depending on the coach's experience, credentials, and the seniority of the client. Many executive coaching engagements are structured as packages (for example, 6–12 months) with total fees from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars.
Factors that influence pricing:
Coach's background (e.g., advanced degrees in psychology, executive experience, certifications).
Complexity and stakes of the role (C-suite vs. emerging leader).
Scope of engagement: assessments, stakeholder interviews, and organizational consulting add value and cost.
To decide what you should pay:
Consider the potential impact on performance, retention, and business outcomes - coaching should yield a meaningful return.
Evaluate whether the coach's approach and expertise fit your goals and context.
