Both parties agree to the following:

 

Coaching is partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize personal and professional potential. It is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional or business goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals. 

The coaching relationship is strengths-based, forward-looking, and collaborative.  The coaching agenda is developed and implemented in partnership between the Client and Coach.  The role of the Coach is to help the Client progress toward achieving a goal.

 

• The Client and Coach agree to engage fully in the coaching experience.

• The Client recognizes that coaching is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.

 

Confidentiality

The Coach agrees to keep all conversations and information with the Client private and confidential, as allowable by law.

No personal information will be shared with anyone without the Client’s express permission.  Exceptions may be made if there is an imminent threat of serious injury to oneself or someone else.

 

Coaching Commitment

By entering into this relationship, the Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of his or her life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. The Client agrees that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching principles into those areas and implementing choices is exclusively the Client’s responsibility.  The pace of change is uncertain and varies amongst individuals.  As such, the Client and Coach agree to a minimum of a 12-month relationship.

 

Coaching Session Procedures

Coaching sessions may occur in person, by phone, through video conferencing, or over email, depending on the venue that works best for the Client and what coaching package is selected.

 

• The Coach and Client agree to adhere to established appointment times.

• The Coach and Client agree to begin and finish all appointments on time.  If the Client is more than 15 minutes late to an appointment, the Coach will assume that the appointment is canceled and the Client will be responsible for the full coaching fee.  If the Coach is more than 15 minutes late to an appointment, the Client may assume that the session is canceled and the Client shall not be responsible for any payment for that session.  

• The Client agrees to cancel or reschedule an appointment at least 24 hours in advance, without a change fee.  Any changes or cancellations within 24 hours are subject to a 50% cancellation fee.

 

Coaching Fees

• Specific coaching fees and packages are outlined in Schedule 1 of your signed agreement.  For each of these packages, the Coach requests a 12-month commitment from the Client.  If the Client desires to terminate the relationship prior to 12 months, at least a 30 days advance notice is required and any prepaid future sessions will be refunded.  

 

Fees are payable at the first of the month, and prior to coaching services being provided each month.

Payments may be made by cash,  paypal, venmo, credit card, zelle, or electronic fund transfer (EFT).

 

Termination

Either the Client or the Coach may terminate this Agreement at any time with a 30 days written notice. Client agrees to compensate the Coach for all coaching services rendered through and including the effective date of termination of the coaching relationship.
