World-Class Coaches Charge $500-$3,500 an Hour — Here Are the 7 Skills They Learn First

These are the foundation for everything else

Before you can charge $500+ an hour, you need to develop the same skills all world-class coaches master first.

Here are 7 of the most important ones…

1. Build Rapport

Rapport is about building a safe and supportive relationship with the people you work with.

World-class coaches create psychological safety so their clients feel comfortable enough to do deep introspective work.

2. Ask Open-Ended Questions

Instead of asking closed questions:

• “Did you…”
• “Is…”

World-class coaches ask:

• “In what way…”
• “What stops you from…”
• “How would you approach…”

Quality Questions -> Insights -> Actions -> Results

3. Active Listening

Most people listen with the intent to respond.

World-class coaches listen with the intent to understand.
