Executive Coaching Agreement
An executive coaching agreement is a professional development contract between a coach and an executive client, sometimes with employer involvement, focused on leadership performance. Use this when a company sponsors coaching for a VP or the executive hires a coach directly. It addresses confidentiality vis-à-vis the employer and success metrics.
