Our Working Agreement
“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.”
Helen Keller
What you can expect from us
What we ask in return
Set and monitor clear boundaries i.e. what’s in and out of scope
Arrive prepared, present and as free from distraction as possible
Focus on you, what you want and what will help you to achieve it
Own the agenda and choose the topics for discussion (unless previously agreed)
Create a safe space for conversations, free from judgement
Embrace the experience of being coached. This means that your coach will ask more than tell and instead of giving you the answers, will support you to generate ideas and options for yourself
Be fully present, listen generously and to treat you with unconditional positive regard
Manage the ‘coaching process’, monitoring progress and encouraging forward momentum
Fully commit to the coaching process, including taking action between sessions
Adopt a growth mindset. Be prepared to step outside of your comfort zone with the aim of learning and growth
Tell the truth. Strong words softly spoken
Support you to become independent of the coaching relationship and develop habits and strategies to last beyond your coaching assignment
Be open, honest and receptive to feedback
