Establishing and maintaining a coaching agreement with your client is the foundation of everything else you do. It’s an invitation to genuine exploration as you begin a coaching relationship, but it’s also a process, something you will want to do early, often, and in-depth throughout the relationship.

Our guest today, Todd Kemp, unpacks the newly updated ICF Core Competency #3 and shares the key skills we need to practice this competency well.

• Zero in on the co-created relationship that makes coaching both relational and collaborative, so you can maximize the experience for your clients.
• Master the partnership with not only clients but also stakeholders, to make clear agreements about processes, plans, and goals.
