Exploring ICF Core Competency 3: PCC Markers

Описание: Clarity, direction, and shared purpose are essential ingredients of a powerful coaching session.
In this video, we explore ICF Core Competency 3 – Establishes and Maintains Agreements through the lens of the PCC Markers, focusing on how coaches co-create a meaningful and actionable session agreement with their clients.

A strong session agreement is not just a formality, it’s the foundation for a transformational conversation. In this video, we break down each PCC Marker related to Competency 3, showing how coaches partner with clients to define the session topic, the desired outcome, the measures of success, and the deeper meaning behind what they want to accomplish.

Through practical examples and reflective questions, we explore how to distinguish between a weak agreement (which leads to a shallow conversation) and a strong agreement (which drives depth, clarity, and impact). You’ll learn how to explore motivation, clarify priorities, avoid assumptions, and identify what truly needs to be addressed for the client to move forward.

In this video, you’ll discover:
The four PCC Markers related to establishing and maintaining agreements
How to help clients define a meaningful and manageable topic for the session
How to co-design clear measures of success
How to explore motivation, relevance, and the deeper “why” behind the client’s goal
How to identify what needs to be addressed to achieve the session outcome
Strategies for minimising assumptions and staying client-centred
A real coaching story illustrating how a deeper exploration shifts the entire session

A well-crafted session agreement sets the tone for a focused, intentional, and truly impactful coaching conversation. When done well, it supports client clarity, strengthens partnership, and lays the groundwork for meaningful change.
