he Coaching Contract
 
The initial contract meeting is likely to be the most important session where the emphasis will be on mutually agreeing goals and objectives for future meetings. This session will also seek to define in more detail, characteristics of success from the coachee’s point of view while also being clear about the expectations the coach and the coachee have of each other.
 
 
This session also traditionally makes reference to boundaries, confidentiality and an explanation of what coaching is and is not.
 
 
Experience suggests that where costs are paid for by the coachee’s employer that there is even greater need for clarity about objectives in what should become a three way contracting meeting.
 
 
Finally this session should also agree frequency of meetings, their length (normally 1 to 2 hours) and agreement on a suitable venue for future meetings.
