2. The Coaching Relationship; Client and Coach Responsibilities

The coaching relationship is co-creative, meaning that the Coach and Client are equal partners in the coaching process. Coaching is an alliance between the coach and the client. Coach cannot, and does not, guarantee particular results.

Coach Responsibilities:

•  Coach is trained to use communication skills and coaching tools to support you as an equal partner throughout the coaching process.

• Coach will ask thoughtful questions designed to increase awareness.

• During your coaching experience, Coach will provide a supportive and encouraging environment--one in which you can relax and explore your potential.

• Coach will answer questions during scheduled coaching calls

Client Responsibilities:

• You understand that coaching works when you do the work and you agree to take ownership for your progress and accomplishments.

• You agree that you are completely responsible for your well-being and your mental and physical health care – during, after, and between sessions.

• You agree that you are the expert in your own life and are fully responsible for any choices and decisions you make during your coaching journey.

• You agree not to hold Coach, or any company Coach is affiliated with, liable for any outcomes resulting directly or indirectly from the choices you make during the coaching process.

• You acknowledge that you are under the care of a physician and healthy enough to engage in Coaching.

• You agree that your relationship with the Coach, or anyone providing coaching Services on behalf of the company, is that of a coach-client relationship and that no other professional relationship (such as doctor-patient or attorney-client) has been established.

  Although Denee Choice is a medical doctor, your coaching relationship does not establish a doctor-patient or similar relationship of any kind between you, the company Coach is affiliated with, or Denee Choice.

  Coach does not provide any financial, legal, medical, or psychological services or advice. Coaching does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental or medical condition. Coaching is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice that can be provided by your own accountant, lawyer, financial advisor, or medical professional. You are responsible for your own financial, legal, physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions, and results. You should consult with a professional, independent of the coaching relationship, if you have specific questions about your own unique situation. Coach and any company that Coach is affiliated with, disclaims any liability for your reliance on any opinions or advice received as part of the coaching relationship.

  You agree that you will not use coaching as a way of diagnosing or treating mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association. If you are in therapy or under the care of a mental health professional, you will notify and consult with the mental health care provider regarding your decision whether to work with a coach.

  Coach cannot and does not guarantee any particular results, or financial or business outcomes as a result of this coaching relationship.

5. Preparation for First Session

Client will receive a separate welcome email and instructions to outline the process and prepare for the assessment debrief session.

6. Confidentiality

Coach agrees to keep all information about the Coach / Client relationship strictly confidential except in very rare circumstances where disclosure is required by law, for example when a court might issue a subpoena for the file or information, or if Client threatens to harm himself or herself, or others.
