What drives the price
- Country splits the market into two groups. The UK, Singapore and US start at $147 to $150 at the lower quarter. Canada starts at $106 and South Africa at $75.
- The top end varies most. The top 10% threshold runs from $328 in Australia to $564 in the UK. A $328 quote is a top 10% price in Australia but sits inside the middle half in the UK.
- Executive vs leadership title. In five of the six countries, the executive title carries the higher rate. Singapore is the exception.
- South Africa is the lowest cost market. Its lower quarter ($75) is half the US lower quarter ($150), though its top 10% still reach $538 or more.
Should you hire an executive coach in another country?
If you can work with a coach remotely, you can shop across borders. A UK buyer looking at US coaches will find the same starting point ($150 vs $149 at the lower quarter), not a lower price. A US buyer looking for a lower cost option will find it in Canada ($106 to $233) and South Africa ($75 to $275). Time zones, language and business culture matter more than a small price gap.
It is not worth paying a top-end rate just because a coach is based in a high priced market. Compare what the coach has done with leaders like you.
