How do you match me with the right coach?

We use a science-backed assessment to understand your goals, leadership challenges, and personal style. Then we precision-match you with a coach who has real-world experience in your industry and role — so you can make progress fast.

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

Coaching is personalized, but common goals include navigating career transitions or promotions, developing executive presence and communication, improving team leadership and influence, aligning work with purpose and values, and building systems for productivity and focus.

Is BetterUp coaching just for executives?

Nope — it's for any professional ready to lead with clarity. Whether you’re a manager, director, or VP, we tailor your coaching experience to your current challenges and career stage.

What makes BetterUp coaches different?

Only the top 9% of applicants become BetterUp coaches. Every coach is professionally certified, deeply vetted, and has real experience leading teams, managing change, and driving results at the executive level.

How quickly will I see results?

Many members report breakthroughs in just a few sessions. From tough conversations to long-term goals, coaching delivers momentum by helping you clarify priorities and take decisive action.

Is coaching like therapy?

Coaching is forward-looking and action-oriented. It’s about helping you grow as a leader, not processing the past. Think of it as having a thought partner focused on your goals, mindset, and execution.

I initially sought coaching for career transition support—to build the confidence and strength to take on something new. Over time, my coach has continued to guide and support me through every challenge and opportunity.
