🎙️ EP 66: The 4 Steps to a great coaching agreement
Listen to the Podcast
In this last of a series of 3 episodes on the coaching agreement, I go down to concrete skill level: I share the exact 4 behavior markers that help coaches create a strong agreement, including examples!
The International Coaching Federation has published a set a competencies that describe what good coaching looks and sounds like*. As mentioned in the past two episodes, making a good agreement it tough and feels quite unnatural to many new coaches.
This is why the competency description is very helpful in guiding us to learn it well.
Here are the competency markers on a good agreement:
“coach partners with the client to identify or reconfirm what the client wants to accomplish in this session”
“coach partners with the client to define or reconfirm measure(s) of success for what the client wants to accomplish in this session”
“coach inquires about or explores what is important or meaningful to the client about what they want to accomplish in this session”
“coach partners with the client to define what the client believes they need to address to achieve what they want to accomplish in this session”
In this episode, I put the spotlight on all 4 parts and give some insight on why they are important.
I also share what to watch out for to pull it off well!
