For new clients:
Dear Potential Client...
The purpose of this agreement is to give us a strong foundation to work from. Please read this through - and if you agree, follow the link at the bottom to accept. Agreement is mutual assent, so this is my suggested framework: I’m open to your contributions to it, and always happy to discuss your highest good.
Coaching is: a thought-provoking, creative partnership between coach and client to spark insight that unlocks your potential, then helps you choose how to grow into your calling and challenges.
Each session is a meaningful conversation designed to identify and produce what will be fulfilling results in your life, career, business or organization.
Coaching is not: therapy or counseling.
Coaching considers you creative, resourceful and whole and the expert in your own life. You choose the focus. I listen and contribute observations and questions to help you clarify what it is you are willing and able to do to get what you want. It's up to you to make any changes – and have the conversation.
Client Agrees: I am ready to grow and accomplish my goals.
Coach Agrees: I work from and for your wholeness.
Services: We commit to the following together.
The parties agree to engage in a professional coaching/mentoring/consulting relationship as detailed in the comments section of the agreement acceptance, below, and as modified by emails throughout our coaching relationship.
Schedule & Fees: This is worthy work.
We begin with a complimentary phone call discussing your goals, and follow that conversation up with a welcome email which validates this agreement. The welcome email will also include:
Procedure: Together, we make this happen.
The time and location of the meetings tend to be on Zoom but can be mutually determined by Coach and Client. The Client will initiate all scheduled calls and will contact the Coach for all scheduled meetings.

This coaching relationship and all verbal or written information that the Client shares is bound to confidentiality but is not considered a legally confidential relationship as is Medicine or Law: (e.g if Coach reasonably believe there is illegal activity, pursuant to valid court order or subpoena; imminent or likely risk of danger to self or to others; etc., Coach may need to inform appropriate authorities). Otherwise the Coach agrees not to disclose any personal information without the Client’s written consent: The Coach engages in maintaining her ICF Credentials: By signing this agreement, you agree to have only your name, contact information and start and end dates of coaching shared with ICF staff members for the sole purpose of verifying the coaching relationship. No personal notes will be shared. According to the ethics of our profession, topics may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with other coaching professionals for mentoring, evaluation, professional development or consultation purposes.
Cancellation Policy/Termination: We respect each other’s time.

Coach reserves the right to bill Client for meetings cancelled less than 24 hours before, or for a missed meeting. Coach will attempt in good faith to reschedule the missed meeting. Either the Client or the Coach may terminate this agreement at any time with written notice (email is fine).
Limited Liability: We are each responsible for our own actions, we respect each other even when we disagree, we will work toward harmony and wholeness in our relationship and responses.
Except as provided in this agreement, the Coach makes no express or implied guarantees or warranties. In no event will the Coach be liable to the Client for 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.

Client Agrees: I am ready to grow and accomplish my goals.
- I am committed to learn more about myself and ways I operate in the world. Coaching conversation can go deep into areas including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation.

I acknowledge that incorporating coaching outcomes is exclusively my responsibility.

Coach Agrees: I work from and for your wholeness.
