Worth It: The Benefits and Costs of Career Coaching

Career coaching has never been hotter, and as a thriving global career coaching firm, we’ve never been busier! This makes sense when Gartner research shows that 37% of the skills employees use today were learned in the past year – put simply: continuous improvement is a crucial investment in your career.

And best of all, new career coaching theories and approaches are continually developing in the field and being uncovered in our live sessions with clients. The insights, support, and strategic assets we provide to each client represent the best practices and approaches for career growth.

It’s fair to be curious about the benefits and costs of career coaching, after all with so many professionals investing in their career through coaching it would be a mistake to be the last person without this career asset.

There are definitely costs associated with hiring a great career coach, and the more senior you are in role, the more niche the professional firm is that you are looking for. However, the business case for career coaching costs and benefits is simple: A good career coach will pay for themselves many times over in higher salary, more opportunities, greater job satisfaction, and landing a dream role.

Increasingly companies are offering stipends and reimbursement for career coaching and this is a great benefit that our clients take advantage of—we are happy to work with your HR department to provide context and documentation of your time invested in your professional skill sets that directly benefit your team and goals at work.

That said, the cost of career coaching services at CloseCohen is comparable to extension learning certificates and courses from known universities—a significant portion of our client base hold MBAs, MAs, and similar advanced degrees. Investing in your career is an ongoing process and our clients find the cost of career coaching services to match their level of interest in keeping their leadership fresh and relevant.

We encourage you to invest in yourself with career coaching. Book a consultation to explore whether our service can meet your need.
