Ali and Alaa explore the ICF Core Competency 3: Establishing and Maintaining Agreements. They break down what “agreements” really mean in professional coaching, why they matter, and how they are the foundation of co-creation between coach and client. Through examples and real experiences, they explain how agreements operate at three levels:
Within the session – the soft agreements that shape each conversation
Across the engagement – the larger, goal-setting agreements
Within the contract – the formal legal and logistical framework
Listeners will gain clarity on how effective agreements manage expectations, build trust, and set healthy boundaries between coaches, clients, and sponsors. Whether you’re a new coach or a seasoned professional, this episode gives you the insight and practical examples needed to strengthen your coaching partnerships.
