ABSTRACT

This chapter addresses some of the most common relationship problems within coaching. In general, these problems stem mostly from failures in contracting, but they can also arise from a change of coachee circumstances, or interventions by third parties. Being alert to signs of trouble can help to head them off, but the coach needs practical ways to bring the relationship back on track or, if necessary, to wind it up in a positive manner that is supportive of both the coachee and the coach.
