Coaching Agreement

The coach agrees to provide coaching services to the client based on the standards and ethics for professional coaching, set by the International Coach Federation (ICF). The coaching consists of the following package.

Sections 1 – 3 of the agreement are negotiable between coach and client. Section 4, which represents basic rules for a successful coaching relationship, is mandatory and non-negotiable.

By purchasing a coaching session, you are certifying that you have read and agree to the terms below.

Section 1: Size and timeframe

Coaching sessions will occur for 0.75 hours (45 minutes) per session.

Section 2: Client’s contribution

The client agrees to pay for professional coaching at the rate posted on the company website (www.careercandor.co) or as agreed upon.

The client will also give 2 verbal referrals to compensate for the received value of professional coaching and 1 written referral should they be happy with their service.

The pricing of this offering is subject to change at any time.

Section 3: Logistics of coaching

The coach is responsible for organizing availability. In case of a virtual session, the coach provides the dial-in information. If the session is in person, the coach and client will work together to reserve a meeting location.

The client is responsible for securing availability per the coach’s scheduling methodologies (in this case, Calendly).

The client and coach will meet in person or virtually at the agreed time.

The client agrees to provide feedback to the coach throughout the coaching process or at the end of the coaching process.

Payment is due 24 hours before meeting via the online payment method or another payment method agreed upon by the client and coach.

If you need to cancel your appointment, all cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Refunds will only be granted to people who cancel their appointments at least 24 hours before their scheduled appointment. If you need to change your appointment, all changes must be made at least 24 hours in advance.

If you do not show up for your appointment at the agreed upon time, the coach will wait in the meeting location (in-person or virtually) for 10 minutes. If the client has not arrived by the 10 minute mark, the coach will leave the meeting location and the client will forfeit their payment, as aligned with the statement above.

As a client, I agree that the coach may use my email address to earn credentials from the international coaching federation (ICF). See the ICF website for more information.

Section 4: Ground rules

As a client, I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my physical, mental and emotional well-being during my coaching sessions, including my choices and decisions. I am aware that I can choose to discontinue coaching at any time.

I understand that coaching is a professional relationship between a client and a coach that is designed to facilitate the creation/development of professional and personal goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.

I understand that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve all areas of my life, including work, health, relationships, education, and recreation. I acknowledge that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporating coaching into those areas, and implementing my choices is exclusively my responsibility.

I understand that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders. I understand that coaching is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment and I will not use it in place of any form of diagnosis, treatment, or therapy.

I promise that if I am currently in therapy or otherwise under the care of a mental health professional, that I have consulted with the mental health care provider regarding the advisability of working with a coach and a mental health care provider at the same time.

I understand that information will be held as confidential unless I state otherwise, in writing, except as required by law.

I understand that certain topics may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with other coaching professionals for training or consultation purposes.

I understand that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for professional advice by legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual or other qualified professionals. I understand that all decisions in these areas are exclusively mine and I acknowledge that my decisions and my actions regarding them are my sole responsibility.

I agree that the coach maintains, stores, and disposes any records, including electronic files and communications, created during emails, coaching engagements in a manner that promotes confidentiality, security, and privacy.

I agree that by signing the coaching agreement, I will be added to the email distribution list, at which any time I can unsubscribe.

I understand that the coach will retain the any information the client chooses to provide until the earlier of: (a) the client asks the coach to delete the information, (b) the coach decides that the value in retaining the data is outweighed by the costs of retaining it.

By purchasing a coaching session, I certify that I have read and agree to the above.
