How do you match me with the right career coach?

We use a comprehensive assessment to understand your career goals, professional challenges, and working style. Then we precision-match you with a coach who has real-world experience in your field and career stage — so you can make progress quickly.

What kinds of goals can I work on with a coach?

Coaching is personalized, but common goals include clarifying career direction and next steps, navigating job transitions or career changes, building professional confidence and presence, developing skills for advancement, and creating actionable career growth strategies.

Is this only for executives or senior professionals?

Not at all — it's for any professional ready to take charge of their career. Whether you're early-career, mid-level, or senior, we tailor your coaching experience to your current situation and aspirations.

How is career coaching different from career counseling or therapy?

I know I've got a coach who is starting to be invested in me and my journey, I'm obviously invested financially. And I'm the type of person that I want someone to not be afraid to hold me accountable and I need to be kind of kicked a little bit... getting that inertia unstuck and getting some progress.

I felt motivated to join BetterUp literally when they said I was going to be a people manager. What the heck am I supposed to do? You just make it up!

BetterUp has been an incredible resource for leveling up my skills and exploring new growth areas. It makes finding the right coach easy, giving you options to explore who best fits your needs.

I used to avoid team meetings because I never knew how to articulate my ideas clearly. My coach helped me structure my thoughts before speaking and now I actually look forward to presenting updates to leadership.
