Executive Coaching Communities on Skool — Cohort-Based Programs for C-Suite Leaders
You coach executives. CEOs. Board members. People who run $10M-$500M companies. Your 1-on-1 rate is $2,000-$5,000 per month. But there is a ceiling. You can only take 10-15 private clients before you hit capacity.
The cohort model changes the math. Instead of 10 private clients at $3K/month ($30K MRR), you run a group program with 30 executives at $1,500/month ($45K MRR). Same time investment. Higher revenue. Better peer dynamics.
Executives do not just want your expertise. They want access to other executives facing the same problems.
Should You Use Skool for an Executive Coaching Community?
- Yes — if you run cohort-based executive programs with group calls, peer accountability, and structured curriculum.
- No — if you only offer 1-on-1 executive coaching with no group or peer learning component.
- Consider alternatives — if your clients require enterprise-grade security compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA) for sensitive discussions.

Why Executive Coaches Choose Community Over 1-on-1
- Scale beyond 10-15 clients without working more hours
- Executives learn faster from peer discussion than solo coaching
- Network effects increase retention — members stay for access to other executives
- Recurring revenue model more stable than project-based consulting
Who This Works Best For
- Executive coaches working with C-suite leaders, VPs, and board members
- Former operators (ex-CEOs, ex-COOs) who coach at the executive level
- Leadership consultants transitioning from 1-on-1 to group programs
- Coaches charging $2K-$5K/month who want to scale without sacrificing quality
Operational Model
You run quarterly cohorts. 20-30 executives per cohort. $1,500-$3,000 per month. Bi-weekly group calls. Private community for async discussion. Curated curriculum delivered in modules. Peer hot seats. You facilitate, but the group solves problems together.
Executives pay for two things: your structured process and access to other executives. The community provides both.
When Skool May Not Be the Right Fit
- If you only offer pure 1-on-1 executive coaching with no group component.
- If your clients require enterprise compliance certifications (SOC 2, HIPAA) for community platforms.
- If your coaching model is project-based consulting with defined end dates, not ongoing programs.
If Skool doesn't fit your needs, you may want to compare alternative community platforms.
Tactical Deployment
Deploy the "Executive Cohort Template". Structured for quarterly programs. Hot seat calendar. Private channels per cohort. Async discussion areas for peer problem-solving. Gamification disabled (executives do not need points).
Scale executive coaching without sacrificing intimacy.
