How many paid coaching sessions to take? How many coaches to take from? In addition, take before coaching with peers, inbetween?
Coaching sessions number
Hi there,
There’s no one size fits all answer, but most candidates benefit from three to five paid coaching sessions in total. It’s usually better to work with one main coach for consistency rather than many, and potentially add a second coach for a different perspective if needed. Peer practice is very important and should come before coaching to build a baseline, and between coaching sessions to apply feedback and improve.
Happy to draft a plan together based on your needs to optimise sessions, feel free to reach out.

hey there :)
there is no fixed number that fits everyone. usually a few targeted paid sessions are enough if they are well timed, combined with peer practice before and in between. I always start with one session with my coachees and then we honestly assess where they stand and what makes sense next. I am very transparent about this because without that honesty you simply cannot build a good plan. feel free to reach out if you want to discuss your situation.
best,
Alessa :)
