Purpose

We provide individual coaching to develop and implement strategies to help our clients reach personally identified goals of enhanced business performance and/or personal satisfaction.

Business coaching is proven to work when there are two factors present:

1. You are willing to make changes in your professional or personal life, and

2. There is a gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

Feedback

If, at any time, you feel that your needs are not being met or you are not getting what you want out of the individual coaching, please tell your coach, so we can discuss your needs and adjust your coaching program, as needed.

Sessions

Coaching is scheduled at the mutual convenience of the coach and the client. The day and time for the next call will be confirmed at the close of each coaching session. Coaching by phone is paid in advance of each series of coaching calls. Services requested by the client, in addition to coaching calls, will be billed at a prorated hourly rate agreed in advance.

The client will call the coach at the pre-arranged time and telephone number as scheduled, and pays the telephone charges for the call. Please remember that you must give 24 hours prior notice if you need to cancel or change the time of an appointment, otherwise you will be charged for the session in full. The coach will make reasonable efforts to reschedule sessions, which are cancelled in a timely manner. Either party may end the coaching relationship at any time, by giving written, email, or verbal communication of their desire to end the coaching sessions.

Confidentiality

As licensed therapists who are also coaches, we adhere to the letter of our licensure in regard to confidentiality with our coaching clients. We will only release information about our work to others with your written permission, or if we are required to do so by a court order.

There are some situations in which we are legally obligated to breach your confidentiality in order to protect others from harm, including (1) if we have information that indicates that a child or elderly or disabled person is being abused, we must report that to the appropriate state agency and (2) if a client is an imminent risk to him/herself or makes threats of imminent violence against another person, we are required to take protective actions. These situations rarely occur in coaching practices, but if such a situation does occur, we will make every effort to discuss it with you before taking any action.

Although, during the course of our coaching, we may discuss your future plans, business affairs, customer lists, financial information, job information, goals, personal information, and other private information, the coach will not voluntarily communicate the client's information to a third party.

Coaching versus Psychotherapy

There are some similarities between coaching and psychotherapy, but we do not conduct psychotherapy with our coaching clients. Although both coaching and psychotherapy use knowledge of human behavior, motivation, behavioral change, and interactive counseling techniques, there are major differences in the goals, focus, and level of professional responsibility. Because of these differences, the roles of coach and psychotherapist are often in potential conflict, so we believe that it is ethically inappropriate, under most circumstances, for us to play both roles with a client. In some situations, we may recommend that you enter psychotherapy as a condition of continuing coaching.

Professional Boundaries

Coaching is a professional relationship and we will make sure to maintain our professional boundaries during and after our work together. Considerable experience shows that when boundaries blur, the hard-won benefits gained from the coaching relationship are endangered.

Intellectual Property

In order to honor and protect the coach's intellectual property, the client agrees not to disclose or communicate information about the coach's materials, written articles, or methods to any third parties without express permission.
