1. Coaching is an ongoing relationship between a coach and a person who desires coaching
(coachee). The coachee’s agenda is central to the relationship and will be worked on jointly
by both coach and coaches.

2. Coaching is not therapy, counselling, advice-giving, mental health care, or treatment for
substance abuse. The coach is not functioning as a licensed mental health professional and
coaching is not intended as a replacement for counselling, psychiatric interventions,
treatment for mental illness, recovery from past abuse, professional medical advice, financial
assistance, legal counsel, or other professional services.

3. Coaching is designed to address issues the person being coached would like to consider.
As a coach, I do not have all the answers however I am committed to working with you to
explore them and help you identify how to move forward. There are no guaranteed results.

4. Coaching is a confidential relationship and the coach agrees to keep all information strictly
confidential, except in those situations where such confidentiality would violate the law or
could jeopardize the safety of the client or others. There may be occasions when something
you share with me needs to be shared more widely, but we will discuss this first so that you
are comfortable, and wherever possible, you will take the lead in sharing the information with
others.

5. Coaching is most effective when both parties are honest and straightforward in their
communication.

6. Coaching can involve brainstorming, values clarification, and completion of written
assignments, education, goal setting, identifying plans of action, accountability, making
requests, agreements to change behaviour, examining lifestyles, and questioning.

7. Coaching will be an ongoing relationship that may take a number of months, although either
the party can terminate at any time. 
 
8. For purposes of this agreement, as a client you agree to meet on a regular basis for a minimum 
of the scheduled coaching sessions, beginning on the date you selected within Paperbell.com. We 
agreed that 50 minutes sessions are a suitable length of time for our sessions. The sessions will 
be timed to coincide with specific stages of work or situations so that constructive feedback can 
be provided and objectives reviewed. It is the joint responsibility of both the coach and the 
coachee to work towards desired outcomes and attend scheduled times.

9. Each of party agrees to inform the other of the need to cancel an appointment. The person who 
has cancelled the session has the responsibility to re-arrange the session.

1. I agree that the prime purpose of this coaching contract is to support, maintain and enhance
my personal development and performance over an agreed period of time. As the coachee, I
will ensure that, to the best of my ability, I have met the agreed objectives and action plan set
out at the end of each session.

2. I understand that taking part in this coaching contract places responsibilities on me. I agree
to prepare for each session, to be punctual and to actively participate. I agree to carry out
any follow-up actions that I choose to commit to within the coaching sessions as per the agreed
timescales. I understand that all that is discussed between us will be treated in absolute
confidence unless we agree that information can be shared with another party.

3. I agree to complete all evaluation forms during and following the final session.

4. I will ensure that the session is not interrupted, in order to give full attention to the interaction.

5. I realize that if there are any changes to my circumstances it may necessitate the discussion and 
agreement on a new coaching contract.

6. I understand that either party can request a termination of the agreement if there is a breakdown 
in the coaching relationship, inadequate commitment to the process or lack of progress being made.

7. I have read, and agree to this coaching contract.
