Many coaches approach session agreements as a box to be checked or a step to get out of the way at the beginning of a conversation. Agreements Reimagined: Navigating Session Agreements with Clarity and Confidence is an experiential learning program designed to strengthen a coach’s ability to establish and maintain clear, client-centered coaching agreements (ICF Core Competency 3). This program reframes the agreement as an ongoing, co-created process that shapes the direction, depth, and effectiveness of the entire coaching session.
Through guided practice, coaching demonstrations, and reflective discussion, participants learn how to move beyond surface-level topics to identify meaningful session outcomes, clarify measures of success, and stay aligned with what matters most to the client. Coaches develop practical skills to navigate agreements with flexibility, presence, and confidence—without becoming rigid or formulaic.
Using a simple, memorable framework and metaphor-based approach, participants explore how strong agreements reduce confusion, deepen client insight, and naturally support progress throughout the session.
By the end of the program, coaches will have practical ways to navigate agreements without overthinking them, making it easier to stay present and responsive in real coaching conversations.
Who is this for?
This program is designed for trained coaches, coaching students, and credentialed coaches (ACC, PCC, or those working toward a credential) who want to strengthen their ability to establish and maintain effective coaching agreements.
It is particularly valuable for coaches who:
• Find session agreements feel unclear, rushed, or inconsistent
• Want to move beyond surface-level topics to more meaningful session outcomes
• Are preparing for, or working toward, an ICF credential or renewal
• Desire greater confidence and flexibility when navigating agreements in real coaching conversations

Testimonials
“I highly recommend Agreements Re-imagined to any coach looking to strengthen their approach to session agreements. The program is engaging, thoughtful, and full of practical strategies that make coaching conversations more intentional and effective.” – Ellen Rudofsky, PCC, CPCC
“As a coach with five years of experience, I’ve always found the agreement process to be one of the most challenging parts of coaching. Agreements Reimagined was a true game changer for me. The simple yet powerful methodology finally helped me see the agreement process clearly and navigate it with greater confidence and ease.
What made this course especially valuable was the intentional scaffolding of skills and the opportunity to practice in a supportive, safe environment. Rather than just learning concepts, I was able to integrate them through real experience and feedback. The result was not only a deeper understanding of agreements but also a significant strengthening of my overall coaching skills.
I highly recommend this course to any coach who wants to feel more confident, effective, and grounded in their agreement-setting conversations.” – Emily Pike
