Coaching Agreement: Setting Session Expectations

A coaching agreement is a formal contract outlining the coach-client relationship, expectations, and responsibilities. It’s a cornerstone of ethical practice, as per the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and is taught in Erickson Coaching’s TASC Level 1, an ICF-accredited program, alongside skills like confidentiality and goal setting, ensuring clarity in life or business coaching. The agreement covers session frequency, duration (typically 45-60 minutes), fees, and confidentiality, aligning with frameworks like the GROW model. TASC Level 1 graduates use agreements to establish trust, clarify goals, and foster accountability, leveraging neuroscience-based tools for client commitment. Practical Application: Coaches use agreements to set expectations for clients, like entrepreneurs launching businesses. TASC Level 1 graduates outline session schedules and goals, like increasing revenue. They review agreements periodically, ensuring alignment and adjusting plans, fostering clarity and results. Coaching agreements ensure ethical, transparent relationships, critical for success. The demand for structured coaching is rising, with TASC Level 1 preparing graduates for global practices. Agreements empower effective partnerships, making TASC Level 1 essential.
