Contracting is really important in executive coaching. In the contract the client and coach agree how they're going to work together. Obviously, in coaching, you cannot guarantee a result. But you can agree what you're aiming for, the steps you're going to take, and we can hold each other accountable regarding the process.
Eric Berne called the contract a “bilateral commitment to a well-defined course of action.” In that definition, you can see that Berne was very pragmatic. He focused on doing, not on thinking or feeling, as the result of coaching. A well-defined course of action means that you agree step one, step two, step three, etc. to reach the agreed goals.
There are three levels to contracting in executive coaching: the administrative contract, the professional contract and the psychological contract.
