✦ Coaching Agreement & Partnership Guidelines

This Coaching Agreement outlines the nature of our coaching relationship, our mutual responsibilities, and the parameters that will guide our work together. By entering into this partnership, we agree to a co-creative and confidential process designed to support your growth and goals.

1. What Coaching Is (and Is Not)

Coaching is a collaborative process focused on supporting your personal and/or professional growth, clarity, and momentum. It involves asking powerful questions, identifying patterns, creating action plans, and exploring new perspectives. Coaching is not therapy or medical advice and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.

You, the client, are seen as whole, resourceful, and capable. My role as your coach is to create a space for insight, reflection, and aligned action.

2. Scope of Coaching Relationship

Coaching includes:

  • Thought partnership, emotional support, and strategic guidance

  • Exploration of personal values, strengths, and blocks

  • Goal setting, accountability, and ongoing reflection

  • Optional integration of Human Design or other relevant frameworks (if agreed upon)

Coaching does not include:

  • Emergency crisis support or therapeutic counseling

  • Telling the client what to do or making decisions on their behalf

  • Legal, financial, or medical advice

3. Roles & Responsibilities

As the Coach, I commit to:

  • Holding a confidential and judgment-free space

  • Showing up on time, prepared, and present

  • Asking powerful questions and offering reflections to support your process

  • Respecting your autonomy and pace

As the Client, you agree to:

  • Take responsibility for your choices, actions, and growth

  • Show up honestly and openly

  • Complete practices, reflections, or action steps between sessions (if relevant)

  • Communicate needs, changes, or challenges clearly

If any third-party stakeholder is involved (e.g., a sponsor, guardian, or employer), they will only be included in alignment with your consent and well-being.

4. Coaching Plan & Measures of Success

Our first session(s) will include co-creating a Coaching Plan which may include:

  • Overall goals for the coaching engagement

  • Specific areas of focus (personal, relational, business, etc.)

  • Success indicators or measures of growth

  • Tools, practices, or reflection prompts to support progress

We will revisit and refine these goals periodically to ensure alignment and momentum.

6. Compatibility & Partnership

Coaching is most effective when there is mutual trust and resonance. We will assess our compatibility during our initial session. If at any point either party feels the partnership is not a fit, we agree to communicate openly and respectfully explore alternatives.

By continuing with this coaching partnership, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to the above terms.
