(2) COACHING RELATIONSHIP
Coaching is a partnership focused on the Client’s transformation, discoveries, new perspectives and a new way of being. The success of the coaching engagement depends upon the Client’s commitment and openness to the process. In coaching conversations, the Coach will be direct and honest and encourage the Client to do the same.
If the Client believes that coaching is not proceeding as desired, the Client agrees to communicate this to the Coach. The Coach may also communicate their opinion that coaching services are not appropriate for the Client at a given time, and may refer the Client to another specialist. Coaching is not therapy or counseling, and does not treat illness or pathology. The Client understands that the Coach is not a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker or other medical or mental health professional.

Client and Coach agree that if one of them is unable to attend a scheduled meeting, They will give the other at least 24 hours notice, unless there is a sudden illness or emergency. If the Client cancels a meeting with less than 24 hours’ notice for reasons other than sudden illness or emergency, the Coach maintains the right to include the canceled meeting among the pre-paid sessions and will not offer a refund. If the Coach cancels a meeting with less than 24 hours’ notice, the Coach agrees to offer an additional session at no extra charge.
(4) CONFIDENTIALITY
The Coach will maintain confidentiality to the extent permitted by law, unless:
(1) the Client divulges information about illegal activities, or if the information is relevant to any legal action concerning this engagement. The Client understands that the coach-client relationship is not privileged under law and information regarding the client could be subpoenaed via the Coach.
(2) the Coach seeks guidance from another coach in order to better serve the Client. At the Coach's discretion, the Coach may consult a fellow coach for advice and suggestions regarding addressing the Client's needs.
