Coaching Agreement
Coaching is a collaboration 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.
Coach-Client Relationship
The Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing their own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship and their coaching calls and interactions with the Coach. As such, the Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach.
The Client understands coaching is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not diagnose, prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder, medical disease, health condition, or addiction. The Client understands that coaching is not legal advice and no liability is accepted for following any suggestions the Coach makes.
Services
The coaching services, which include a package of either 2 or 3 coaching sessions per month, will be held online via Zoom (or another video conferencing platform of your choice) at a time mutually agreed upon by both the Coach and the Client.
If the Client is more than 15 minutes late for any given session or does not give 24 hours’ notice requesting the session to be rescheduled, the session will be considered missed, except in cases of emergencies. If the Coach needs to reschedule a session, they will endeavour to always provide 24 hours notice. An outline can be provided of the suggested structure of sessions, however, in practice it is the Client’s choice and responsibility as to how the sessions are used. The Client or the Coach can terminate the relationship at any time, if necessary, following a conversation about the reason for this.
Schedule and Fees
This Agreement is valid as of the date signed. The fee is payable in advance for a package of sessions. Clients may choose from the following package options:
2 sessions per month: £500
3 sessions per month: £750
Payment will be charged once a month from the date of sign-up, for the duration of your selected coaching bundle. The amount charged will correspond to the number of sessions planned each month based on your chosen frequency (2 or 3 sessions per month).
Confidentiality
This coaching relationship, as well as all information that the Client shares with the Coach as part of this relationship, is bound by the principles of confidentiality set forth in the ICF Code of Ethics. However, the Coach-Client relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship (like the medical and legal professions).
The Client provides consent for coaching sessions to be recorded for internal training and accreditation purposes. The Client recognises that they can withdraw this consent at any time and request that recordings be deleted. The Client recognises that in some cases, the Coach may have conversations with specific and relevant individuals about them without their presence, if relevant. The Coach will take reasonable measures to ensure this is a collaborative process that the Client feels comfortable with at all times.
Limited Liability
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Coach makes no guarantees or warranties, express or implied. In no event will the Coach be liable to the Client for any indirect, consequential or special damages. Notwithstanding any damages that the Client may incur, the Coach’s entire liability under this Agreement, and the Client’s exclusive remedy, will be limited to the amount paid by the Client to the Coach under this Agreement for all services rendered up until the termination date.
This is the entire agreement between the parties and reflects a complete understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter. This Agreement supersedes all prior written and oral representations. The Agreement may not be amended, altered or supplemented except in writing signed by both the Parties.
If a dispute arises out of this Agreement that cannot be resolved by mutual consent, the Parties agree to attempt to mediate in good faith for up to 30 days after notice given. If the dispute is not resolved, and in the event of legal action, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover solicitors’ fees and court costs from the other party. The laws that shall apply are those of England and Wales.
Please sign and date this Agreement prior to the first scheduled coaching meeting.
