Goals coaching
Bring your goals to life.
Get the advice you need to reach your goals.
Collaborative, purposeful guidance
Turn passions into plans with a U.S. Bank goals coach.
We believe in human potential. The power that changes someone’s journey from “I wish” to “I will” to “I did.” The power that comes from you envisioning your future, even if the journey feels unclear. And whether you’re stuck, motivated, or somewhere in between, we all deserve a safe space to let down our guard and explore what really matters.
That’s why U.S. Bank offers free goals coaching. As your trusted listener and guide, a goals coach uses personalized tools and resources to help you explore what truly matters in life, financial or not. Through in-person or virtual conversations, you’ll unlock a newfound freedom by taking control of your future, your way.
Make an action plan.
You'll collaborate with your coach to identify realistic meaningful steps or milestones towards goal achievement.

Kim
Founded a nonprofit
‟When my photography business slowed down during the pandemic, my coach asked the right questions and helped me figure out the road to take to reinvent myself.”
Corey & Stephenie
Bought their first home
‟My coach is my accountability partner. We were on a two-year plan to save a down payment, and she helped us speed up the process.” (Corey is a U.S. Bank employee.)
Justin
Started a new career
‟Working with my goals coach has allowed me to see how setting goals works and why they’re important. I didn’t think it was possible to make these changes over the course of a year. My goals coach understood me. He didn’t have an agenda. He challenged me to get clear about my goals and be assertive with myself about what I wanted to achieve.”
Why is coaching free?
We believe life guidance should be available to anyone who wants it, and the advice you get will not be generic.

Coaching is for anyone looking for life guidance and advice. It's for anyone who’s ever thought about goal-setting and planning but didn’t know where to start or hasn’t done much about it.
Maybe you're looking to save for college. Or, you may just be starting out in your career or starting a business. Perhaps you and your partner want to buy a house or need help planning for retirement. Whatever you’re looking for, you have a personal connection to an expert and can get the help you need.
Goals coaches are neither bankers nor financial advisors. With backgrounds in psychology, military, education or related fields (and in some cases, financial services), coaches are professionals who bring experience to different life stages and are trained in behavioral science, helping you focus on positive habit change toward your goal. Whether you want to manage debt or save for the future (including retirement), they can help you set milestones and events so you can see your progress. Plus, you get that human touch to help you stay motivated.
Coaching sessions provide access to professional and personalized advice for you for free. Our coaches help you learn how to achieve your personal finance goals so you can apply insights toward achieving more goals into the future. If you find while exploring your goals that you’d like to talk with a financial planner or advisor, your coach can help you connect with one.
You can meet with a coach solo or bring someone special. This session is a space free from judgment to ask questions and get answers in real time. You and your coach will spend an hour, virtually or in person, identifying goals important to you and when you want to reach each of them. You’ll organize and place these goals on an interactive, digital timeline. This will give you a greater understanding of how your goals relate to each other so you can take the necessary steps toward greater financial wellness and, ultimately, your best life.
No, there are no requirements but you should have a general idea of your current financial situation. Whether or not you already have your goals in mind, find the right coach for you and either schedule a 15-minute call to learn more or go ahead and book your 60-minute coaching session online.
Yes. Depending on your session, we'll calculate how achievable your goals are and you’ll receive a personalized Goals Readiness Report. In a second session, either done in-person or virtually, your coach will help you make an action plan to achieve your goals. Some goals may require more help to achieve and your coach can connect you to the right people. If you choose, you can have an ongoing, supportive relationship in attaining your goals.
You can see availability for any coach you choose when you use our online booking tool. When you schedule a meeting, a calendar will open with available times for a 15-minute call or a 60-minute session and you select the one that works best for you.
