An Executive Coaching Retainer Agreement (ECRA) is a contract between an executive coaching service provider and a corporate client to establish a working relationship. This agreement outlines the specific terms of engagement, such as services delivered, payment terms, rights and responsibilities among other important details. Through this agreement, executive coaches help executives identify goals and strategies for performance improvement. The agreement includes the scope of coaching services to be provided, duration of the retainer, expected results of coaching, fee arrangements, confidentiality clauses, and other legal requirements. With an ECRA in place, both parties can have clear expectations on their roles and commitment to working together.
