Coaching Addendum

We are excited you have chosen to participate in the coaching portion of this online course and have positive expectations that this will help you on your journey to create a life you love. To work together, you (as the client) and Kennedy Coaching + Consulting LLC (the “Company”) agree to the following terms and conditions of this Coaching Agreement and Release (this “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will provide you with the coaching services of (your coach):

  1. Description of Coaching

Coaching is working partnership (but 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.

Your coaching + consulting session(s) will require active participation from both you and your coach. You are the expert of your own life and your coach will support you as you take the next steps in your journey toward a happier, more fulfilling and successful life. Your coach may work with you on your career, lifestyle, health challenges, work life balance, sense of purpose, and relationships.

2) Coach-Client Relationship

A. Coach Commitments

    1. Your coach will work with you and empower you to identify, clarify and achieve your personal and/or professional goals. Your time together with your coach is a client-driven process established to encourage your personal and professional growth and development.
    2. Your coach will bring encouragement, support, honesty, attentive listening, understanding, belief in you and commitment to your success. You can expect your coach to challenge you, offer fresh perspectives, make requests (including assigning homework), acknowledge your wins, and guarantee utmost confidentiality.
    3. Your coach is a coach, not a psychotherapist or physician, and your coach is not trained in diagnosing psychological or medical conditions. If any issues come up for you that should be handled by a licensed therapist or physician, you must attend to your health by contacting the appropriate professional. Your coach cannot do that for you.
    4. Your coach cannot guarantee results. You are in control of your own results and your coach is here to help you on your path.
    5. During the time you spend with your coach in coaching sessions, your coach will devote her/his time, thoughts, and energy to you. Your coach commits to being present and open. In between sessions, your coach may not be available, as she/he may be attending to others, or her/himself. Your coach will however, attempt to respond to any communications from you as soon as is practical.

B. Client Commitments

  1. As a client, your role is to be punctual and present for sessions. Be prepared so that you can get the most out of your coaching. Create a clear space, intention and focus for your time together. Commit to be present, open, honest, and willing to engage in a process of self-inquiry and transformation
  2. You acknowledge that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of your life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. You agree that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching principles into those areas and implementing decisions is exclusively your responsibility.
  3. You are solely responsible for creating and implementing your own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship and your coaching sessions and interactions with your coach. As such, you agree that your 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.
  4. You understand 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.
  5. You acknowledge 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 your exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed. If you are currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that you promptly inform the mental health care provider of the nature and extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon between us.
  6. You understand that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, you will communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and create the time and energy to participate fully in the program.
  7. If your coach ever says or does anything that upsets you or doesn't feel right, please bring it to her/his attention so that you can resolve it as soon as possible. Your coach’s objective is to have a coaching relationship that is fully open, honest, real and trusting in your communication styles. Please give your coach feedback if you feel that she/he is not on the same page in terms of your priorities and needs. Communication via telephone or email entails extra challenges since you and your coach cannot see body language, facial expressions, etc. Therefore, you must give each other plenty of latitude, and promptly ask for clarification if there is a miscommunication or concern.

3) Procedure

The time, schedule and location of our coaching sessions will be mutually agreed upon by you and your coach. All scheduling is done through Calendly. If you need to book, reschedule or cancel an appointment, you can do so via your coach’s calendar.

Unless you make other arrangements, please call your coach directly at your scheduled time. If your coach will be at any other number for a scheduled call, she/he will let you know prior to the scheduled appointment time.

Between Calls: You can email your coach with ideas, problems, questions, etc. If you wish to connect with her/him in between sessions with a challenge, a success or an inquiry, unless she/he is away, she/he will make every attempt to respond to your e-mail as soon as practical, with an email, text or short phone call at her/his discretion. In most cases, this may take up to 24 business hours. Your coach is happy to provide this extra level of service at no additional charge.

4) Fees

The coaching fee is payable to “Kennedy Coaching + Consulting LLC”. You acknowledge that you can financially afford the coaching fee at this time. You agree to pay (or be autocharged) before the first session in your coaching package, on the first of the month for that month's fee, or as we otherwise agree in writing. You agree that, ultimately, it is your responsibility that you pay for the services provided to you.

5) Confidentiality

This coaching relationship, as well as all information of a confidential personal nature that you share with your coach as part of this relationship, is confidential. Your coach agrees not to disclose any such information without your consent, except as required by law. Certain topics or stories may be anonymously and hypothetically shared, but your coach will not disclose your name as a reference without your consent. For the purposes of this agreement, confidential information does not include information that: (a) your coach is required by statute, lawfully issued subpoena, or by court order to disclose; (b) is disclosed to her/his and as a result of such disclosure she/he reasonably believes there to be an imminent or likely risk of danger or harm to you or others; or (c) involves illegal activity. Please be aware that the coach-client relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship (like the medical and legal professions) and thus communications between you and your coach are not subject to any legally recognized protection outside of the terms of this Agreement.

6) Cancellation Policy/Termination

Coaching calls that are purchased as part of the Discover Your Next course must be scheduled and used within 12 weeks of course enrollment.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please give your coach 24 hours’ prior notice.

If your coach needs to reschedule, she/he will give you at least 24 hours’ prior notice as well, barring an emergency or illness. Either you or your coach may discontinue the coaching relationship at any time, provided that you agree to provide 2 weeks’ written notice prior to ending the relationship. You agree to compensate the Company for all coaching services rendered through and including the effective date of termination of the coaching relationship.

7)Intellectual Property Rights

The Company owns any and all intellectual property rights in and to the materials provided to you by your coach. Such materials are for your personal and professional use and benefit and you agree that you will not use, disclose, or sell any such materials (or any derivative materials based upon or incorporating portions of the materials provided to you) to any third party, including for the purpose of providing coaching or consulting services or otherwise.

8) Limited Liability

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Company and your coach make no guarantees, representations or warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the coaching services negotiated, agreed upon or rendered hereunder or the coaching relationship. In no event shall the Company or your coach be liable to you for any indirect, consequential or special damages. Notwithstanding any damages that you may incur, my entire liability under this Agreement, and your exclusive remedy for any claims hereunder, shall be limited to the amount actually paid by you to the Company under this Agreement for all coaching services rendered through and including the termination date for the 12 month period prior to such termination.

YOU HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE your coach, the Company (and any successors-in-interest thereto) and its directors, officers, employees, contractors and agents ("releasees") from all liability to you and your personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin for any loss or damages, and any claim or demands therefor, on account of injury to your person or property, whether caused by the negligence of the releasees or otherwise while you are participating in such coaching relationship, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any breach of this Agreement by the Company.
