How long do people typically work with a coach? Is there a minimum time I have to commit to the relationship?

The amount of time you spend working with a coach is a personal decision, based on your goals, how quickly you execute the action items you set for yourself, and your financial situation. Most coaches recommend a 3 to 6 month commitment, paid for on a monthly basis. While the process of coaching usually demonstrates progress on a weekly basis with each session, to really achieve your goals -- to get unstuck from what was keeping you from achieving your objectives -- takes time.
