Learn moreHow coaching works
01 We match you with an expert coach in your field
We'll get to know you during an initial consultation. Then we'll match you with a coach 1-2 levels above you that fits your specific preferences and goals.
02 1:1 sessions, usually 2x per month, fully remote
Depending on your preferences, you'll meet weekly or monthly for 1 hour 1:1 video sessions. Your coach will roll up their sleeves and dive into your day-to-day challenges with you. Your coach will guide you based on their knowledge and experience like a mentor, and motivate you and help you stay accountable like a coach.
03 Grow your skillset and career
Work with your coach to reach your goals and stay accountable, like a personal trainer for work. You'll be able to access a curriculum of curated resources in your field.
What about pricing?
Most companies cover coaching expenses. We will tell you how that works. People are often surprised to discover that their employer - even early-stage startups - will cover all or a portion of coaching expenses.
The cost of coaching varies based on your experience level. Monthly subscriptions range on average from $250 monthly for junior levels all the way to $550 monthly for VP levels.

How does the coach matching process work?
As a first step, we conduct a free intro call to get to know you, learn about your skill and career growth goals, and tell you more about how our coaching works. We'll then use what we learn to precisely match you with a coach from your domain who has been where you're going, usually 1 to 2 levels ahead of you. We also incorporate the coach's experience across industries, business types, company sizes, communication styles, and technical areas where appropriate.
Is this mentoring, coaching, or something else?
BestPracticer is a blend of both. Your BestPracticer coach will give you guidance based on their own domain knowledge and experience like a mentor, but they will also motivate you and help you stay accountable to your goals like a coach. You can think of BestPracticer as a personal trainer for work.
Does BestPracticer offer help in the job search?
While we support individuals throughout their career, we don't specialize in job search coaching, and may not be the best choice for this moment. Feel free to reach out with any questions on how we can best be a resource.
