Agreement Terms:

Procedure:
For​ phone​ ​or​ ​video​ ​conference​ ​sessions,​ ​I​ ​will​ ​send​ ​you​ ​an​ ​email​ ​with​ a ​call-in​ ​or​ ​link​ ​to the​ ​video​ ​conference​ ​before​ ​the​ ​specified​ ​time​ ​unless​ ​we​ ​make​ ​other​ ​arrangements.​ ​​​If​ ​you​ ​are expecting​ ​my​ ​call​ ​and​ ​I​ ​don’t​ ​join​ ​the​ ​call,​ ​please​ ​contact​ ​me​ ​directly​ ​at Wendy@Developeopleux.com​.​ ​​​If​ ​you​ ​wish​ ​to​ ​connect​ ​with​ ​me​ ​in​ ​between​ ​sessions​,​ ​I​ ​will​ ​make​ ​every​ ​attempt​ ​to​ ​respond​ ​to​ ​your​ ​E-mail​ ​within​ ​24 hours. ​​​I’m​ ​happy​ ​to​ ​provide​ ​this​ ​extra​ ​level of​ ​service​ ​at​ ​no​ ​additional​ ​charge.

Changes:
If​ ​you​ ​need​ ​to​ ​reschedule​ ​our​ ​appointment,​ ​please​ ​give​ ​me​ ​24​ hours’​ ​notice to see if we can reschedule our group session.​ ​​​If​ ​you​ ​do​ ​not​ ​show​ ​up for​ ​a​ ​scheduled​ ​call​ ​for​ ​any​ ​reason​,​ ​we​ ​will​ ​not​ ​make​ ​up​ ​that​ ​time.​ ​​​If​ ​I​ ​need​ ​to​ ​reschedule,​ ​I​ ​will give​ ​you​ ​at​ ​least​ ​24​ hours'​ ​notice​,​ ​barring​ ​an​ ​emergency​ ​or​ ​illness.

Coach​ ​(Wendy​ ​A​ ​Castleman):

I​ ​agree​ ​to​ ​serve​ ​as​ ​your​ ​Coach​ ​–​ ​to​ ​partner​ ​with​ ​you​ ​to​ ​identify​ ​and​ ​achieve​ ​your​ ​professional development​ ​goals.

As​ ​your​ ​Coach,​ ​I​ ​cannot​ ​guarantee​ ​results.​ ​​​I​ ​can​ ​offer​ ​you​ ​guidance​ ​and​ ​suggestions,​ ​but​ your development’s ultimate impact​ ​comes​ ​with​ ​your​ ​mindset​ ​and​ ​actions.

During​ ​the​ ​time​ ​we​ ​spend​ ​together​ ​in​ ​our​ ​coaching​ ​sessions,​ ​I​ ​will​ ​devote​ ​my​ ​time,​ ​thoughts, and​ ​energy​ ​to​ ​you​ ​exclusively.​ ​​​In​ ​between​ ​our​ ​sessions,​ ​I​ ​may​ ​not​ ​be​ ​instantly​ ​available,​ ​as​ ​I may​ ​be​ ​attending​ ​to​ ​others​ ​or​ ​myself.​ ​​​I​ ​will,​ ​however,​ ​always​ ​attempt​ ​to​ ​be​ ​available​ ​within​ ​24 hours.

I​ ​am​ ​a​ ​Coach,​ ​not​ ​a​ ​psychotherapist​ ​or​ ​physician,​ ​and​ ​I​ ​am​ ​not​ ​trained​ ​in​ ​diagnosing psychological​ ​or​ ​medical​ ​conditions.​ ​​​If​ ​any​ ​issues​ ​arise​ ​for​ ​you,​ they​ ​should​ ​be​ ​handled​ ​by​ ​a licensed​ ​therapist​ ​or​ ​physician. I​ ​insist​ ​that​ ​you​ ​​ ​attend​ ​to​ ​your​ ​health​ ​by​ ​contacting​ ​the appropriate​ ​professional.

As​ ​your​ ​Coach,​ ​I​ ​will​ ​bring​ ​attentive​ ​listening,​ ​understanding,​ ​belief​ ​in​ ​you,​ ​and​ ​commitment​ ​to your​ ​success.​ ​As​ ​your​ ​mentor,​ ​I​ ​will​ ​provide​ ​​ ​specific​ ​suggestions​ ​and​ ​feedback​ ​to gain/improve​ ​skills​ ​and​ ​experience.​ ​​​I​ ​will​ ​share my experience, examples​ ​, and​ ​stories to​ ​help​ ​you​ ​grow​ ​your​ ​skills​ ​and​ ​understanding.​ ​​​You​ ​can​ ​expect​ ​me​ ​to challenge​ ​you,​ ​ask​ ​you​ ​powerful​ ​and​ ​probing​ ​questions,​ ​agree​ ​on​ ​an​ ​action​ ​plan,​ ​acknowledge your​ ​wins,​ ​and​ ​guarantee​ ​the​ ​utmost​ ​confidentiality​ ​(to​ ​the​ ​fullest​ ​extent​ ​of​ ​the​ ​law,​ ​and​ ​so​ ​long as​ ​I​ ​don’t​ ​fear​ ​for​ ​your​ ​or​ ​another​ ​person’s​ ​safety). The only other people who will be privy to our conversations are the other members of this coaching cohort, who will also have signed this agreement.

Client​ ​(Coachee):

I​ ​am​ ​motivated​ ​and​ ​committed​ ​to​ ​taking​ ​action​ ​on​ ​my​ ​professional​ ​growth​ ​goals.​ ​​​I​ ​realize​ ​that​ ​if I​ ​do​ ​not​ ​participate​ ​fully​ ​and​ ​whole-heartedly​ ​in​ ​this​ ​coaching​ ​relationship,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​unlikely​ ​that​ ​this coaching​ ​relationship​ ​will​ ​lead​ ​to​ ​my​ ​professional​ ​success.

I​ ​understand​ ​that​ ​coaching​ ​is​ ​a​ ​process​ ​that​ ​may​ ​include​ ​many​ ​areas​ ​of​ ​my​ ​life,​ ​including​ ​health, professional​ ​or​ ​family​ ​relationships,​ ​and​ ​work.​ ​I​ ​acknowledge​ ​that​ I decide​ whether ​to​ have ​information​ ​in​ ​these​ ​areas​ ​in​ ​coaching​ ​sessions.​ ​I​ ​accept​ ​full​ ​responsibility​ ​for myself​ ​, and​ ​any​ ​actions​ ​I​ ​take​ ​that​ ​might​ ​result​ ​from​ ​Coaching.

These​ ​appointments​ ​may​ ​occur​ ​via​ ​videoconference,​ ​in person,​ ​or​ ​by​ ​phone.​ I agree to meet at the scheduled time, and if rescheduling is necessary, I will communicate this to my coach as soon as a change is needed. 

As a client, I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my physical, mental, and emotional well-being during my coaching appointment. ​ ​Any​ ​choices​ ​I​ ​make​ ​, or​ ​injuries​ ​I​ ​incur​ ​from​ ​recommendations made​ ​during​ ​my​ ​coaching​ ​appointments​ ​are​ ​entirely​ ​my​ ​responsibility.

I understand coaching is not to be used as a substitute for professional advice by legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual, or other qualified professionals. I will seek independent professional guidance for legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual, or other matters. I understand all decisions in these areas are mine, and I acknowledge that my choices and actions are my sole responsibility.

I understand "coaching" is a Professional-Client relationship with my coach designed to facilitate the creation/development of my personal, professional, or business goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals. I understand that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve all areas of my life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education, and recreation. I acknowledge that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporating coaching into those areas, and implementing my choices is exclusively my responsibility. 

I understand coaching does not involve diagnosing or treating mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association. Coaching is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, or substance abuse treatment. I will not use it in place of any form of diagnosis, treatment, or therapy. 

I promise that if I am currently in therapy or otherwise under the care of a mental health professional, I have consulted with the mental health care provider regarding the advisability of working with a coach, and this person is aware of my decision to proceed with the coaching relationship. 

I understand information will be held confidential, except as required by law. I will not disclose proprietary information learned in these sessions to anyone. I understand that my coach may share certain topics with other coaching professionals for training OR consultation purposes. 

I​ ​agree​ ​to​ ​pay​ ​the​ ​agreed-upon​ ​Coaching​ ​Fee​ ​promptly.​ ​​​I​ ​agree​ ​that,​ ​ultimately,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​my responsibility​ ​that​ ​my​ ​coach​ ​gets​ ​paid​ ​for​ ​the​ ​services​ ​I​ ​use.

I​ ​agree​ ​and​ ​understand that either​ ​my​ ​coach​ or​ ​I​ ​can​ ​terminate​ ​or​ ​discontinue​ ​coaching​ ​at anytime.

I​ ​understand​ ​that​ ​in​ ​order​ ​to​ ​protect​ ​my​ ​privacy,​ ​if​ ​I​ ​terminate​ ​my​ ​coaching,​ Developeople UX, LLC will delete any assignment work or information about our coaching sessions from​ ​my​ ​coach's​ ​files.​ ​I​ ​also​ ​agree that​ ​I​ ​consent​ ​to​ use​ ​e-mails​ sometimes to transmit sensitive information.​ ​I​ ​acknowledge​ ​the risks​ ​involved​ ​and​ ​waive​ ​any​ ​rights​ ​against​ ​my​ ​coach​ ​for​ ​errors​ ​made​ ​in​ ​these​ ​transmissions.

I​ ​understand​ ​that​ ​the​ ​methodology,​ ​coaching​ ​techniques,​ ​and​ ​strategies​ ​used and assignments,​ ​documents,​ ​or​ ​emails​ ​are​ ​proprietary,​ ​and​ ​I​ ​understand​ ​that​ ​and​ ​agree​ ​that​ I may not use them​ ​for​ ​any​ ​other​ ​purposes​ ​other​ ​than​ ​my​ ​coaching​ ​appointments​ ​without​ ​written consent​ ​from​ ​my​ ​coach.​ ​I​ ​understand​ ​that​ ​information​ ​is​ ​held​ ​confidential​ ​to​ ​fulfill​ ​my coaching​ ​obligations​ ​and​ ​as​ ​required​ ​by​ ​law.

Total​ ​liability​ ​under​ ​this​ ​coaching​ ​agreement​ ​shall​ ​be​ ​limited​ ​to​ ​the​ ​total​ ​amount​ ​paid​ ​by a​ ​client​ ​to​ ​the​ ​coach.​ ​In​ ​no​ ​event​ ​shall​ ​Wendy​ ​A​ ​Castleman​ ​or​ ​Developeople​ ​UX,​ ​LLC​ ​be​ ​liable for​ ​any​ ​consequential​ ​or​ ​indirect​ ​damages​ ​alleged​ ​to​ ​result​ ​from​ ​the​ ​coach's​ ​performance​ ​or obligations​ ​under​ ​this​ ​agreement.​ ​I​ ​understand,​ ​acknowledge,​ ​and​ ​agree​ ​that​ ​limited​ ​liability​ ​is​ ​a fundamental​ ​part​ ​of​ ​this​ ​agreement.​ ​The​ ​fees​ ​charged​ ​in​ ​this​ ​coaching​ ​agreement​ ​reflect​ ​the risk​ ​agreed​ ​upon​ ​by​ ​both​ ​coachee​ ​and​ ​coach.​ Regardless​ ​of​ ​the nature​ ​arising​ ​from coaching​ ​services,​ no action ​may​ ​be​ ​brought​ ​by​ ​the​ ​client​ ​more​ ​than​ ​one​ ​(1)​ ​year​ ​after​ ​services​ ​rendered.
