Focus on competency 3 of the ICF framework:
Establishes and Maintains Agreements
In a world where the diffusion of professional coaching continues to grow, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) has been defining the core competencies used by professional coaches for more than 25 years. Those core skills include 8 distinct competencies, the third of which consists of "Establishing and Maintaining Agreements", i.e., the coach partners with the client and relevant stakeholders to create clear agreements about the coaching relationship, process, plans and goals. He/she establishes agreements for the overall coaching engagement as well as those for each coaching session.
In practical terms, this means that the coach :
partners with the coachee to identify or reconfirm what he/she wants to accomplish during each session.
partners with the coachee to identify or reconfirm the measure(s) of success for what they want to accomplish in each session.
explores how meaningful it is for the coachee to achieve this outcome in each session.
partners with the coachee to define what he/she thinks needs to be addressed to achieve what he/she wants to accomplish in each session.
In our coaching practice, we deploy this skill by :
setting a clear framework for the coaching relationship: purpose, obligations, roles, responsibilities, process, goals, results, formalised contract,
setting the subject and objective of each session and its time frame,
asking our client what makes this objective important, what it is going to bring him/her
asking our client how he/she will know that he/she has reached his/her objective and how he/she is going to measure it.
