Coaching<\/a> is a business and deciding on your basic prices, services, and options is part of planning and then operating your coaching practice. The range of fees for coaching services is from $100 to $3500 an hour with a median rate of $500 an hour according to the International Coaching Federation<\/a>.\u00a0 For a coach just getting started after life coaching certification, $100 to $150 an hour is typical in most parts of the United States.\u00a0 For someone who decided to be a business coach, often the starting rate is twice that and does call for expertise on the part of the coach.\u00a0 After executive coaching certification, $250 an hour is the low end and when the coach has both experience and expertise $600 an hour and up is more common.\u00a0 Career coaching certification leads to a range typical of a life coach on up to that of an executive coach depending on the clientele.<\/p>\n Beyond a basic price, many coaches create coaching packages that cover a set number of sessions over a period of time or a set number of sessions per month.\u00a0 Some coaching packages may be priced higher because the coach is accessible between coaching sessions whereas others limit the availability of the coach in terms of calls or emails between sessions.<\/p>\n Beyond individual coaching, group coaching makes sense both for the coach and for clients.\u00a0 Sometimes group coaching is offered by itself, other times it is included with individual sessions in a package.\u00a0 For a new coach getting started, charging $49 per person for a group session is typical and the price does go up based on the level of the group and the focus.<\/p>\n As a coach, consider what your client wants, your business operations, and your flexibility when creating your packages and defining prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is 5 in a series of 24 blog posts on Business and Marketing.
