1. General Coaching Agreement:

Client Responsibility: Clients are responsible for their physical, mental, and emotional well-being during coaching sessions, including their choices and decisions. The option to discontinue coaching is always available. Please note that fees may apply for missed scheduling commitments.

Nature of Relationship: Coaching represents a Professional-Client relationship focused on facilitating the creation and development of personal, professional, or business goals. The purpose is to craft and implement strategies/plans to achieve these goals.

Scope of Coaching: Coaching encompasses various life domains, such as work, finances, health, and relationships. It is understood that clients are solely responsible for determining how to address these areas and integrate coaching insights.

Non-medical Nature of Coaching: Coaching does not involve diagnosing or treating mental disorders. It does not replace counseling, psychotherapy, or mental health care. Clients will not substitute coaching for professional therapy and will consult with their caregiver if under psychiatric care to ensure coaching is appropriate.

Confidentiality: Information shared in sessions is confidential, unless otherwise specified in writing or required by law. Any intention to harm oneself or others must be reported.

Privacy and Use of Information: Topics discussed may be shared anonymously with other professionals for training or consultation purposes, with all identifiable details altered to protect client privacy.

Professional Advice: Coaching is not a replacement for professional advice from legal, medical, financial, or other qualified professionals. Decisions in these areas remain the sole responsibility of the client.

Insurance and Fees: Professional coaching services are not covered by health insurance.

2. Coaching Session Logistics:

Scheduling Software: We will utilize PaperBell for scheduling coaching sessions. PaperBell offers convenient scheduling options and allows you to manage your appointments and coaching material easily.

Virtual Meeting Platforms: Coaching sessions will be conducted using Google MeetUp. The platform offers secure and reliable video conferencing capabilities. Video is optional. 

Session Duration: Each coaching session will typically last 50 minutes, unless otherwise agreed upon.

Discovery Calls: these are generally free of charge to uncover the likelihood of an effective ongoing working relationship. 

Extra Time: Between sessions, if you have questions, a brief update, or want to bounce some ideas around, please contact me by email. Please keep these contacts succinct. If it seems like it will be better served as session material, I’ll suggest that.

Fees: I accept checks made out to Brandon McCray as well as credit cards. If your sessions are by phone, I’m happy to send you a PayPal or Clarity link. My fees may be tax deductible as a business expense. Please check with your CPA.
