"We stopped guessing at leadership development budgets. Their transparent rate structure let us invest in exactly the competencies our C-suite needed — nothing more, nothing wasted."

— Director of talent, national logistics firm, Montréal

"Within six weeks of targeted executive coaching, two of our VPs shifted from operational firefighting to strategic thinking. The ROI was immediate and measurable."

— Chief people officer, SaaS company, Toronto

Executive training priced by what you actually need — not by what we bundle

Most leadership development firms sell tiered packages. You pay for modules you will never use, coaches you did not choose, and timelines that do not match your reality. We work differently.

Every engagement at Skillful Executives is built from individual components with published rates. You see the cost of each element before you commit. You combine only what matters. You scale up or down at any point.

How our pricing works

Each component below carries a flat rate. Combine them freely — there are no packages, no tiers, no minimum commitments.

One-to-one executive coaching session

A 90-minute session with a senior coach, including pre-session diagnostic and follow-up action brief. Sessions can be virtual or in-person at your offices.

$485per session

Leadership team workshop

Half-day facilitated workshop for up to 12 participants. Covers strategic alignment, decision-making frameworks, or communication architecture depending on your priorities.

$3,200per half-day

360-degree assessment and debrief

Comprehensive multi-rater assessment with a dedicated debrief session. Includes a written development roadmap for each participant.

$1,150per person

Board-readiness simulation

Full-day immersive simulation for executives preparing for board-level responsibilities. Scenario design, live facilitation, and post-simulation review included.

$5,800per day

Ongoing advisory retainer

Monthly access to a senior advisor for ad-hoc leadership challenges, strategic sounding-board conversations, and priority scheduling for coaching sessions.

$2,400per month

Why no packages? Packages encourage over-buying. Our clients tell us they prefer to start with one or two components, measure impact, then expand deliberately. If your organization needs a larger engagement, we simply apply the same per-unit rates — volume does not change the price because the quality does not change either. Travel expenses for in-person delivery outside the Québec City region are quoted separately and at cost.

The method behind every engagement

Diagnostic conversation

A complimentary 30-minute call where we listen to your leadership challenge, map stakeholders, and identify the two or three highest-leverage development areas. No pitch, no obligation.

Component selection

Based on the diagnostic, we recommend specific components from our published rate card. You choose which to include, adjust quantities, and set the timeline that works for your organization.

Delivery and calibration

We deliver each component with embedded feedback loops. After every session or workshop, we share a brief impact note and adjust the remaining plan if priorities have shifted.

Outcome review

At the close of the engagement, we produce a leadership impact summary that maps behavioural shifts to the original diagnostic. This document becomes the foundation for any future work.

A note on executive development budgets

Most organizations allocate leadership development budgets annually, then scramble to spend them before the fiscal year closes. The result is bulk-purchased programs that check a compliance box but rarely shift behaviour. We have seen this pattern in companies of every size, from 50-person startups to publicly traded enterprises.

Our unbundled pricing model exists specifically to break that cycle. When each component has a visible cost and a measurable outcome, budget conversations become strategic conversations. HR leaders can justify the spend line by line. Finance teams stop treating development as a discretionary expense. And executives themselves engage more seriously when they know exactly what has been invested in their growth.

If your current provider cannot show you the per-unit cost of every element in your leadership program, it is worth asking why.

"The 360 assessment uncovered blind spots that three years of annual reviews had missed entirely. The debrief alone was worth the investment."

— VP operations, manufacturing sector

"We used the board-readiness simulation to prepare two internal candidates for governance roles. Both were appointed within the year."

— CEO, mid-market professional services firm

Is this the right fit? A readiness check

We have never done formal executive coaching before

That is perfectly fine. Many of our clients begin with a single coaching session to test the approach. There is no minimum commitment and no pressure to continue if the fit is not right. The diagnostic conversation is free and gives you a clear sense of what to expect.

Our leadership team is spread across multiple time zones

All coaching sessions and most workshops can be delivered virtually. For distributed teams, we often recommend a combination of individual coaching sessions and one consolidated in-person workshop per quarter to build cohesion without excessive travel.

We need results within a specific business quarter

Because our components are modular, we can compress timelines when needed. A focused engagement of coaching plus one workshop can be delivered within four to six weeks. We will be honest during the diagnostic if your timeline is too tight for meaningful impact.

Our budget is limited this year

Start with a single component. A 360 assessment or two coaching sessions can deliver significant insight at a fraction of the cost of a traditional program. You can expand in a future quarter once you have seen the results.

We already have an internal leadership development team

We complement internal teams rather than replace them. Our coaches bring an external perspective and specialized frameworks that internal teams often lack. Many of our engagements are co-designed with in-house talent development professionals.
