What's Included In Those Coaching Fees?
Coaching Fees - What's Your Money Worth? Ok great, people are investing over $1.5 billion dollars annually for coaching services; how much of that is reflected in concrete significant results for the Client, and how much is Coaching really worth? Although coaches are free to charge pretty much any amount, it's up to the savvy consumer to discern what's real from what's bogus. If you're willing to invest both your commitment of time and money, you want to know what services are included for your hard earned buck. Coaching fees can go anywhere from $100 to thousands of dollars per month(s) depending on: - Coach's experience
- Area of coaching expertise
- Length of coaching agreement
Most coaches I've come across set their fees around a commitment of a certain amount of sessions per month; usually a 30 minute to 1 hour weekly session. Coaching agreements normally are long-term; although you can probably benefit from receiving coaching for a couple of sessions (if you have short-term goals this may be all you need), meaningful change in your life most often takes time.
So What Should You Look For To Be Included In The Fee?
Rather than telling you what should be included, I recommend that you ask a coach before making any commitment, what the structure of his or her coaching service is. Look to the following questions to determine if it's worth it to you:- How many sessions per month?
- How long are the sessions?
- Is the coach available for inter-session support?
- Does the coach give email support?
The most important question you can ask yourself when hiring a coach and determining if the fees are fair is: How do you feel in regards to this coach? Coaching is a relationship that's based largely on trust; if it doesn't feel right or if your intuition is telling you to steer clear chances are you're right. Bottom line... What do you want to get out of coaching? If you keep this simple rule in mind, you will find a great coach that's right for you.
