Why pursue coaching?
Coaches help you clarify and achieve your goals. A coach can help women identify their goals and develop a plan to achieve them. They can also provide support and accountability as women work towards their goals.
Many women face a lack of confidence in their careers and lack the financial resources to access trained and vetted professional coaches. SHE NC has partnered with Transformation Edge to provide professional coaches to:
Help you develop your skills and knowledge. A coach can help you learn new skills and knowledge that can help you advance in your career or personal life.
Help you build confidence. A coach can help you build you confidence and self-esteem to help you achieve more and to live a more fulfilling life.
Create a supportive and confidential space. A coach can provide a supportive and confidential space where you can talk about your challenges and goals. This can be a valuable resource for individuals who feel like they don't have anyone else to talk to.
Discover/recover your dream or purpose. A coach can help you see the possibilities and overcome the limiting beliefs that keep you from moving your dream forward into a lived reality.
Transition well. Life comes at us fast and hard. Whatever transitions you’re experiencing: parenthood, empty nesting, career shifts, relocation, role growth, etc. A coach can help you navigate the transition in a healthy, sustainable and inspiring way.
If you are a woman who is looking for ways to improve your life, professional coaching may be a good option for you. A coach can provide you with the support, guidance, and accountability you need to reach your goals.
Why partner
with a coaching company?
There are many reasons why you might want to partner with a professional coaching company. Here are a few:
To get access to a network of coaches. A professional coaching company can provide you with access to a network of coaches with different areas of expertise. This can be helpful if you are looking for a coach with specific experience or knowledge.
To get discounts on coaching services. Our partnership with Transformation Edge provides high quality, professionally trained and vetted coaches to our members at a reduced fee. We believe every woman deserves access to high quality coaching, and finances should not be a barrier.
To get support from other coaches. A professional coaching company can provide you with multiple coaches to choose from to ensure you find the right fit for your needs and personality. This can be helpful if you are facing a unique challenge or are transitioning in your personal or professional life..
How much does professional coaching cost?
The average cost of professional coaching varies depending on the coach's experience, expertise, and location. In the United States, coaches typically charge between $150 and $2,000 per hour.
A standard 6-session professional coaching package with an ICF-certified coach could cost anywhere from $900 to $7,500.
By accessing coaching services through SHE NC and Transformation Edge, women in North Carolina have access to professionally trained coaches for an initial nominal coaching commitment fee for 3-5 sessions. In some situations, initial sessions may be provided pro-bono based on need and availability. This introductory fee ensures members are committed to the coaching process while still making coaching accessible to members of all backgrounds.

How to access Coaching
Services Available to SHE NC Members
SHE NC community members will have access to Transformation Edge’s network of professional coaches and/or coaches in training at significantly reduced cost.
Transformation Edge coaches participating in this coaching agreement will provide 3-5 coaching sessions for a commitment fee of up to $150 total (less than the average cost of a single professional coaching session). This fee may be paid in installments or reduced based on the financial need of the member. No other fees will be required for the 3-5 coaching sessions included in this unique service.
After completing 3-5 coaching sessions, additional coaching services may be provided at a negotiated rate with Transformation Edge.
Transformation Edge will also provide reduced negotiated rates for niche coaching packages to a limited number of SHE NC participants at 10-20% off market rate.
Is coaching right for you?
There are a few things to consider when deciding if you are ready for coaching. Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
Do you have a clear goal or intention for coaching? What do you hope to achieve by working with a coach?
Are you willing to commit to the process of coaching? Coaching is a journey, not a quick fix. It takes time and effort to make lasting changes.
Are you open to feedback and new perspectives? A coach can help you to see things from a different perspective and challenge your thinking.
Are you willing to take action? Coaching can provide you with the tools and support you need to make changes, but it is up to you to take action.
Are you willing to commit to a minimum of 3 coaching sessions? Fewer than 3 coaching sessions is unlikely to make a significant impact on the lives of those receiving coaching. Members are expected to commit to a minimum of 3 coaching sessions to ensure they have a true and empowering coaching experience.
