Hi Anthony,
I know this can be tough, and it's something that lots of candidates struggle with.
And at the same time, coaching is not a commodity-good. What one coach can do, another cannot.
Considering that on average a candidate does 4-5 sessions, which means 4-5 contact hours, it always makes sense to problem solve for the candidate's flexibility rather than go for any coach that is available. Over-availability is typically not a good sign.
Here are some things that candidates do to make things work:
1. They use their lunch hour at work for the coaching session
2. They have the coaching session early in the morning before going to work
3. They work from home and block a 1.5h slot during the day in their calendar for the coaching session
4. They claim medical reasons or personal commitments just so they can block the time for the coaching session.
Hope these helps!

Hi Anthony,
I would not optimize for coach availability but for coach quality.
While doing that, keep in mind that not everyone is in the same time zone, which can often be a significant benefit. Depending on your location, your evening might be some coaches morning or vice versa.
If you are working full-time I do recommend running sessions in the morning before work rather than late at night after a long day. You will simply get more out of it if you are fresh and energized!
All the best,
Florian

I am usually free after UK working hours.
Another alternative for you is to look for a coach in a different time zone, that will more easily be available at your preferred time.
But I have to agree with other comments - finding the right coach(es) should be the priority here.
By the way, I believe that in each coach page you have their usual availability there (although in my own case I have flexibility beyond those hours, just not on a regular basis).

Hi Anthony,
you should look for a coach who you think has the right credentials and experience to support you. Check out several profiles or do some intro calls. Once you have found that person, you should figure out how to get together based on availability. You should optimize for content rather than for convenience here.
Best of luck
