Many coaches offer the first session free, to make sure you’re going to work well together. During this time, if you haven’t already, you’ll hammer out how often you want to meet, how you’ll meet, and the fees.
When deciding what you’ll pay, keep in mind that often coaches will work an hour or more before and/or after your session to prepare. And some coaches are available for e-mail contact in-between sessions. Your fee isn’t always just for the time you’re actually in session. You’re also paying for someone else’s expertise and advice.
The fees vary greatly depending on the type of session you request, how often you meet, the level of expertise of the coach, and your region.
