Coaching & mentoring pricing

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

Coaching and mentoring for engineering leaders costs 395 EUR per 60-minute session here. One quarter, 6 sessions with one of them free, is 1,975 EUR. Same rate when your company pays. Intro call 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 1,975 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.

Walk me through your situation.
