Coaching & mentoring pricing

Public prices. Pay for a result, not for hours.

Coaching and mentoring for engineering leaders costs 430 EUR per 60-minute session here, and you leave that one with a written 90-day plan. 2,580 EUR for the First quarter package of 6. Same rate when your company pays. Intro session free, prices without VAT.

Every coach in this market hides pricing behind a discovery call. Here is mine, public, with the math. If the number works, book the intro. If not, the blog is free. Want the market comparison first? Here is what executive coaching costs in 2026.

The napkin: replacing one burned-out Director runs 40 to 80k EUR once you count recruiter fees and ramp-up. A quarter of mentoring costs 2,580 EUR. Doing nothing is the expensive option. Need your manager to see it that way too? Here is the ROI formula and a forwardable email.

My differentiator

Rate a session under 7/10 and you don't pay for it.

After every session you score it. Under 7: not charged, and your feedback tells me what to fix. Across 3,400+ sessions the average is 9.17/10. The guarantee costs me nothing. It keeps me sharp and keeps us fair.

FAQ

Before you book.

How much does coaching for an engineering leader cost?
430 EUR for a single 60-minute session, and you leave that one with a written 90-day plan. 2,580 EUR for the First quarter package of 6. Intro session is free, prices without VAT. Most executive coaches only quote after a discovery call; this one is public.
How many sessions will I need?
If what you want is a plan, that is one session. Getting strong in the role takes longer: most mentees stay 10 to 15 sessions over 6 to 9 months. You’ll know where you sit after the free intro.
Can my company pay?
Yes. 78% of my mentees are company-sponsored, and companies pay the same rate you see above: the First quarter pack of 6 at 2,580 EUR, invoiced against your PO. If your manager needs convincing, one line works: one prevented mis-hire pays for 15 quarters of mentoring.
Is there any discount?
One rate, 361 EUR per session, and the AI is how you get it. Build your inquiry through the chat at /mentoring-chat/ or the MCP server and a formal offer lands in your inbox in 16 minutes. It applies to every package: 361 EUR for a single session instead of 430, 2,166 EUR for the First quarter instead of 2,580, and 722 EUR a month for sparring instead of 790. ELC members qualify right away, just tell the AI you are a member. The below-7/10-is-free guarantee is not a discount and applies regardless.
Are these prices final?
Prices are without VAT. Czech VAT of 21% applies where the law says so. ELC community members pay 361 EUR per session whether or not they take a package, claimed through the AI at /mentoring-chat/, so tell it you are a member.
Why publish pricing when every other coach hides it?
Because you’re a leader with 40 tabs open in your head. You don’t have 30 minutes to discover a number. If it fits, book the intro. If not, join an ELC meetup and come back when it burns.
