Effective Three-Way Contracting Guide, Question Sets and Imagery
When a request for coaching comes from someone other than the coachee, or a company is paying for the coaching on the coachee's behalf, then the consideration of a three-way contracting process is essential - ultimately, you have another client in the mix. Effective three-way contracting helps build the Coach-Client-Sponsor relationship and, when done well, establishes joint ownership for the coaching process. Yet, this is often an area that gets overlooked or botched up in a series of mismatched conversations or crossovers in expectations. Yup, this one can get messy if not managed effectively. So we’ve done the hard work for you and pulled together a how-to Resource Guide; a summary of Roles and Responsibilities; a suggested Session Structure; supporting Coaching Questions; and a set of images for use in your coaching materials to help you explain the relationships in three-way contracting. Our hope is that we’ve made a potentially complex topic much more manageable. Let us know what you think!? Enjoy.
