OUR COACHING CLIENT EXPERIENCE
WHAT IS COACHING?
Coaching is a collaborative partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Coach and the Client. It is a unique process designed to help you develop new perspectives and awareness, choose new behaviors and approaches to accomplish the goals you desire in your life.
Through respectful and inquisitive conversations and active listening, we will identify with clarity what you want to achieve, expand your ability to make meaningful changes, venture into new territories and thinking. My primary goal, as your Coach, is to facilitate and support your journey toward reaching the goals you’ve chosen.
OUR COACHING RELATIONSHIP
As your Coach, I commit to providing an open, honest, and safe environment for our collaborative work. I will serve as your sounding board and facilitator, helping you expand your horizons and discover new insights. I agree to maintain the ethics and standards of behavior established by the International Coach
Federation (ICF). I recommend that you review the ICF Code of Ethics and the relevant standards of behavior.
As the Client, you agree to establish meaningful goals that inspire you, engage in sincere self-reflection, remain open to exploring innovative approaches, and actively practice new behaviors. I encourage you to provide feedback on what is working well within our coaching relationship and communicate any areas that may need adjustment.
Our coaching relationship will thrive when we maintain open lines of communication, honest feedback, and a commitment to actively participate in our sessions. Your dedication to creating the time and energy needed for this partnership will greatly contribute to its success.
THE RESPONSIBILTY AND SCOPE
While I am here to support and guide you, I cannot guarantee any specific outcomes—it is up to you to achieve your desired goals. You are solely responsible for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being, as well as the decisions, choices, actions, and outcomes that arise from our coaching relationship
and interactions.
I want to emphasize that coaching is not a substitute for psychological counseling or any type of mental health or medical services. Further, for matters requiring legal, financial, or other professional advice, you should seek independent professional guidance, as applicable.
OUR CONFIDENTIALITY COMMITMENT
The coaching relationship and all information shared during our sessions, whether documented or verbal, are bound by the professional principles of confidentiality outlined in the ICF Code of Ethics.
Essentially, our coaching relationship and anything that you share with me in a coaching session is strictly confidential without your explicit (and preferably) written consent. You are certainly free to
discuss your coaching sessions with anyone you choose.
