Nature of the Relationship

Mentoring and coaching is a relationship that's collaborative in nature. Christine McDougall will always honour your sovereignty and tell you the truth as she sees it. She will offer all of her skills, knowledge, experience, and wisdom in service to you and your business and life.

Throughout the working relationship, we will engage in direct and personal conversations. The client can count on Christine to a clear, compassionate, honest, and skillful towards the client’s evolution by asking clarifying questions, offering feedback and reflection, and holding space for the client’s own wisdom to unfold.

The client understands that the power of the mentoring/coaching relationship lies in the client’s willingness and capacity to be self-reflective, honest, open and clear, to take responsibility for his or her own choices and decisions and to ask for what he/she needs to support their best. This is a partnership, and both Christine and the client agree to participate in it fully, so it may serve the client fully.

You understand that you are responsible for your own level of participation within the mentoring/coaching program, and the results that follow. You acknowledge that you assume all risks related to your use, non-use or misuse of the services and suggested actions. At all times the choice to enact is yours alone.
