Okay, let’s calculate this. Karen has 15+ years of experience as an executive, which is a significant amount of time. She has an MBA from Stanford University, which is a top-tier program. Location is San Francisco, which is a hub for tech and finance. Executive leadership roles with her level of experience and education typically command higher rates. According to national averages, executive coaches with her background can charge $200–$400 per hour. Considering her Stanford degree and San Francisco location, I estimate her rate to be on the higher end of that range, around $250 per hour.
