Method and Permission – Throughout the working relationship I will engage in direct and personal conversations. You can count on me to be honest and straightforward in asking questions and making requests. In order for the coaching relationship to be powerful you must communicate and take actions in a powerful way.
Responsibilities – I will seek to enable you to improve your quality of life or level of business success and to achieve your desired outcomes. Remarkable results can be achieved where you follow a clear plan in a committed way. However, you have sole responsibility for taking important decisions in your life or business. I have no liability for any loss incurred by any client, whether financial or otherwise, following commencement of coaching sessions, or for any perceived failure by the client, whether justified or otherwise, to achieve a material improvement in quality of life or business or to achieve their desired outcomes or goals. I will encourage you to show faith in yourself and to believe in yourself. I will work with you to define a plan of action for achieving your goals and desires, and keep you on track. I also agree to challenge any self-deceptions that hinder your progress towards your chosen goals.
Between Sessions – I may assign you tasks or exercises to complete between coaching sessions. Not doing these may slow your progress in gaining improved quality of life or achieving desired business or personal outcomes. Where possible, you are requested to submit any information requested relating to assignments at least 24 hours before the coaching session when they are to be discussed. I will provide feedback on completed assignments during coaching sessions.
You may contact me by skype or e-mail between sessions to seek clarification regarding anything arising from a coaching session or for administrative purposes (e.g. where a client needs to rearrange a coaching session or make a payment).
Payment Terms – Coaching fees are paid in advance. Please note that paying for a larger block of coaching time will result in your paying a reduced hourly fee. You are paying me for my time spent in coaching sessions, as well as work that I do on your behalf and at your request. I do not charge for most telephone calls and email outside of the coaching sessions, nor for work I do in support of the coaching services that I provide. If you make a request, however, that I feel will require a large block of my time, I may charge that time against your contract, but absolutely will discuss it with you before the services are provided. I will, at your request, send you a statement of the hours used, and remaining, in your current contract.
I do not bill for sessions that run a few minutes long, or for brief emails or telephone calls outside of the coaching sessions. If you want my feedback, have a problem, or can’t wait to share a success with me between our regularly scheduled sessions, please don’t hesitate to call or email me, and I will get back to you as soon as I can. By entering into a personal coaching relationship with me, you understand that I am on your side and want very much to be helpful to you. I will always do my best to be there for you.
The first coaching session will begin after you have signed this contract, and the first payment is received. Receipts will be sent by e-mail.
Feedback – If at any time you feel that your needs are not being met or you are not getting what you want out of coaching, please tell me, so that we can discuss your needs and adjust as needed. We will continue to work on the goals you have defined, unless you want to stop.
I want you to be satisfied with the coaching and our relationship. If I ever say anything that upsets you or you do not feel right, please bring it to my attention during the session. I will, however, often say things that will make you feel uncomfortable because we are drawing your attention to the things in your life that are not working for you. When a person begins to realise their strategies are not working, they naturally get an uncomfortable feeling that is an indicator that they need to change.
Rearranging Sessions – If you need to rearrange a coaching session, you should provide at least 24 hours notice. No refunds will be given for unused coaching sessions unless 24 hours notice has been given. In exceptional circumstances I may need to rearrange a coaching session. In those instances I will also give you 24 hours notice where practicable.
Termination – Either party may end the coaching relationship by providing the other party with a one week written notice, which may be transmitted by email. If the coaching agreement is terminated before all sessions have been conducted, the balance of your payment will be refunded. If at any time I feel coaching is not the way forward I will terminate sessions and fees will be reimbursed accordingly.
In exceptional circumstances, such as illness or other commitments, inappropriate behaviour by the client, actual or potential conflict of interest, or other reasons, I can decide to terminate the service to the client early or refuse or be unable to provide further coaching sessions to the client. In such a circumstance the client will be given reasonable notice of termination where practicable and will be refunded any advance payments made for coaching sessions not yet provided.
The client is entitled to terminate the service early at any time by giving written notice by email or letter. Such notice will take immediate effect as soon as it is received. In such a circumstance the client will be entitled to a full refund for any coaching sessions already paid for but not yet provided to the client and you will not be required to make any payment for coaching sessions not yet provided to the client.
