There are many factors to how long coaching is. It depends on:

• Your goals — Are you looking for a promotion or some other advancement? Or are you here to strengthen a specific skill?

• Where you are now — How close (or far) are you from where you want to be?

• Your commitment — How much effort are you ready to invest in making the change stick?

If you’re here for a few new insights and quick tools, you’ll walk away with something valuable in just a handful of sessions.

But if you’re here to rewire old patterns, the timeline looks different. For example, a client once told me, “My boss says when I present to the board, I explain the data but don’t actually listen or connect with them.” That’s not a quick tip fix—that’s a decades-old habit. Breaking it takes time, practice, and support.

So the real answer is: coaching lasts as long as it takes to make the change you came for. Sometimes that’s weeks. Sometimes it’s months. And for many of my clients, it becomes an ongoing resource they return to throughout their careers

Coaching sessions are typically scheduled on a regular basis, usually once or twice a month. The frequency of sessions can be customized to fit your needs and availability. Consistency in meeting with your coach helps maintain momentum and progress towards your goals.
