Description of Coaching: Coaching is partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business
partnership) between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires
the client to maximize personal and professional potential. It is designed to facilitate the
creation/development of personal, professional or business goals and to develop and carry out a

strategy/plan for achieving those goals.

 

1) Coach-Client Relationship

 

A. Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental and emotional
well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching
relationship and his/her coaching calls and interactions with the Coach. As such, the Client agrees that
the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or
indirect result of any services provided by the Coach. Client understands coaching is not therapy and
does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or
medical disease.

B. Client further acknowledges that he/she may terminate or discontinue the coaching relationship at any
time.

C. Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of his
or her life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. The Client agrees that
deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching principles into those areas and implementing

choices is exclusively the Client’s responsibility.

 

D. Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as
defined by the American Psychiatric Association and that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for
counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other
professional advice by legal, medical or other qualified professionals and that it is the Client’s exclusive
responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed. If Client is currently under the
care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that the Client promptly inform the mental health
care provider of the nature and extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon by the Client and the
Coach.

 

2) Confidentiality
This coaching relationship, as well as all information (documented or verbal) that the Client shares with
the Coach as part of this relationship, is bound by the principles of confidentiality. However, please be
aware that the Coach-Client relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship (like the
medical and legal professions) and thus communications are not subject to the protection of any legally
recognized privilege. The Coach agrees not to disclose any information pertaining to the Client without
the Client’s written consent. The Coach will not disclose the Client’s name as a reference without the
Client’s consent.

 

3) Limited Liability
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Coach makes no guarantees, representations or
warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied with respect to the coaching services negotiated,
agreed upon and rendered. In no event shall the Coach be liable to the Client for any indirect,
consequential or special damages. Notwithstanding any damages that the Client may incur, the Coach’s
entire liability under this Agreement, and the Client’s exclusive remedy, shall be limited to the amount
actually paid by the Client to the Coach under this Agreement for all coaching services rendered through
and including the termination date.
