The form below should be completed by new clients who are receiving life coaching from CCES. Please read the information included and complete the form below. Doing so will help to save some time during your first session.

COOPERATION:

It is assumed that both parties will be in full cooperation with each other in regards to the agreed-upon coaching objectives. Neither party will withhold important information which would benefit the coaching process, nor will either party act in any manner which would interfere with facilitation of the coaching goals in a timely manner.

FEES:

Coaching fees are based on the services provided. Coach and client will meet and have followup sessions until the client feels that his or her personal and professional goals have been met. The minimum number of sessions will be three (3). Because several sessions are needed for the coach to really get to know the client, meeting only three times is usually insufficient to accomplish the coaching goals. Coaching goals can usually be met with 10 to 15 sessions, depending upon the goals and type of coaching involved.

The coaching fee will be $50 per hour. A limited number of brief e-mails are available, at no additional cost, between sessions, as needed. The first three coaching sessions are to be paid in advance of the first session. Beginning with the fourth session, payment can be made at the time of the service unless the client prefers to pay for several sessions in advance for convenience purposes. The client is under no obligation to continue coaching beyond the third session.

When a client schedules an appointment, that block of time is reserved by the coach for that client. If the client must change or cancel an appointment, 24 hours notice is required. Monday appointments need to be canceled by 6:00 PM Saturday. Without such notice, a $25 fee will be charged for the first missed appointment or late cancellation. The full $50 fee will be charged for missed appointments and late cancellations thereafter.

PROCEDURE:

Coach and client typically continue to schedule coaching sessions until the established goals have been achieved. Coaching can be done face-to-face or by telephone. When the coaching is done by telephone, it is the coach’s responsibility to call the client and bear the cost of any long-distance telephone fees (within the USA only), and it is the client’s responsibility to be available to receive the call in a quiet environment that will maximize the time spent with the coach.

CONFIDENTIALITY:

Confidentiality and protection of intellectual property are mutually agreed to be protected by this contract. Both parties agree that all data, information, and work completed during the course of life coaching will remain confidential. No information or materials will be shared with outside sources or other people regarding the work of either party, except with express written permission of both parties.

MODIFICATIONS AND EVALUATIONS:

Either party may modify this contract at any time it becomes apparent that modification is needed. The coach agrees to advise and influence action. However, the client is always the final decision maker in the coaching process.
