Life Coaching Agreement
This life coaching agreement is between coach Thomas F. Webber of Sapient Living LLC and the client who has indicated their acknowledgement and acceptance of these terms in the “Life Coaching Intake Form” by writing their name and the day’s date. Failure to read this agreement is not sufficient excuse to release the client from the responsibility to adhere to the rules.
Investment
There is no fee for the initial 30 minute discovery call and the investment for the ensuing meetings is $80.00. These fees will be paid in advance of the sessions, or on a monthly basis at the discretion of the coach.
Appointments will be set for 1 hour weekly unless otherwise requested. Additional appointments can be scheduled as needed.
If you need to cancel an appointment, please provide at least 24 hour's notice or you will be charged for the appointment. Similarly please talk with your coach if you would like to reschedule or change the date/time of your regular appointments.
Services
The services to be provided by the coach to the client are video (Zoom) or telephone coaching, as agreed jointly with the client. Coaching may address specific personal struggles, business issues, or general conditions in the client's life or profession. Other coaching services include value clarification, brainstorming, identifying plans of action, examining modes of operation in life, asking clarifying questions, and making empowering requests or suggestions for action. Additionally, the client may be asked to reflect on difficult topics or situations which may result in an expression of emotions.
Throughout the working relationship, the coach will engage in direct and personal conversations. The client understands that successful coaching requires a co-active collaborative approach between client and coach. In the coaching relationship, the coach plays the role of a facilitator of change, but it is the client's responsibility to enact or bring about the change.
If the client believes the coaching is not working as desired, the client will communicate this with the coach as soon as possible and the coaching strategy will be restructured to address the client’s desired outcome of coaching.
You are very much encouraged to talk more with the coach as to receive a better understanding of what coaching is about and how to get the most out of it.
Prior History
The client also agrees to disclose details of the past or present psychological or psychiatric treatment. Coaching and counselling are not the same. Likewise, therapy and other modes of professional or medical psychological examination shall not be considered equivalent to coaching.
I am not a registered psychologist or psychiatrist, nor a licensed therapist. In entering into the coaching relationship, and signing the agreement, you are agreeing that if any mental health difficulties arise during the course of the coaching relationship, you will notify me immediately so that I can discuss with you how you can receive effective care.
Confidentiality
All information about the coach/client relationship will remain strictly confidential within the confines of the Sapient Living LLC team except in very rare circumstances where decreed by law; ie. where the court might issue a subpoena for the file or information. Even within the Sapient Living LLC team, information about the coach/client relationship will exclusively be shared for consultation purposes; ie. requests for resources, interventions, techniques, tools or referrals.
If you wish for me as your coach to speak to someone outside our interactions, you need to give me written permission (original letter, fax or email) to do so. Exceptions to confidentiality of course relate to circumstances such as intent to seriously harm someone, child abuse, thoughts of suicide etc. Otherwise, all remaining information is kept confidential.
It is also important to note that in some situations, it is important to be aware of the use of technology in that for some clients, there is a risk in using certain media such as the internet, mobile phones and cordless phones. If you use these to communicate with me, then I will assume that it is appropriate to continue to do so in my interactions with you.
Termination
The client has the option to terminate the coaching agreement before the third paid session takes place, and will receive a refund on all payments. Otherwise, the client agrees to coaching for the duration of the contracted period.
By filling out the “Life Coaching Intake Form” by Sapient Living LLC, you agree to and indicate full understanding of these terms.
