How much do leadership coaches charge?

Typically priced per engagement rather than per session, covering a set number of sessions over several months.

What moves the number:

• Seniority of the coachee. Executive and board-level work prices well above first-time manager coaching, largely because the stakes and the buyer's budget both differ.
• Whether the buyer is an organization or an individual. Organizational engagements usually price higher, since they carry procurement, reporting and coordination overhead alongside the coaching itself.
• Credentials and prior organizational experience. Both are screened on in this market more than in most coaching fields.
• What is included. Assessments, stakeholder interviews, 360 feedback and written reporting all add cost and are commonly bundled.
• Provider panels pay less than direct work, in exchange for volume and no selling.

Because engagements are packaged rather than hourly, the useful comparison is the total engagement value rather than a session rate.

For organizational proposals, a per-participant price for a defined program is what a buyer can actually approve, and it is how this work gets purchased.
