This is an agreement made between Bloom Strong Coaches, representatives or affiliates ("Coach") and you, member or customer ("client"). Both parties agree to the following terms, responsibilities and conditions:
​
Description:
Coaching is a partnership (defined as an alliance, 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. Coaching facilitates the process of personal, professional, and/or spiritual development. Coaching is not, nor do we claim to be doctors, therapists and/or counselors.
RESPONSIBILITIES
As the COACH, I agree to:
-
Listen, without judgement, and partner with you as we raise awareness and explore appropriate actions that may challenge you where you may be holding yourself back. As well as support and champion you as you move towards your goals and the results you want for yourself.
-
Refrain from unlawful discrimination in occupational activities, including age, race, gender orientation, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin or disability.
-
Make verbal and written statements that are true and accurate to the best of my knowledge and understanding.
-
Strive at all times to recognize my personal experiences that may impair, conflict or interfere with my coaching performance or my professional coaching relationships. I will promptly seek and determine the action to be taken, including whether it is appropriate to suspend or terminate my coaching relationship(s) whenever the circumstances necessitate.
-
Maintain, store and/or dispose of any records, including electronic files and communications created during my coaching engagements in a manner that promotes confidentiality, security, and privacy and complies with any applicable laws and agreements.
-
Honor an equitable Coach/Client relationship, regardless of the form of compensation.
-
Respect the Client’s right to terminate the coaching relationship at any point during the
process, subject to the provisions of the agreement. I shall remain alert to indications
that there is a shift in the value received from the coaching relationship.
-
Hold responsibility for being aware of and setting clear, appropriate boundaries that
govern interactions, physical or otherwise, I may have with my Client(s).
-
Encourage the Client or sponsor (payee) to make a change if I believe the Client or
sponsor would be better served by another coach or by another resource and suggest my Client seek the services of other professionals when deemed necessary or appropriate.
-
Stay committed to my own learning and ongoing development in order to continuously improve my coaching skills, allowing me to always bring value to you as my Client.
-
Be your accountability partner through this process, by sending questions and follow-ups that keep your mind engaged and actively pursuing the goals you desire. Therefore, holding you accountable to make changes that promote your full potential in personal, professional and/or spiritual development.

Never claim to be qualified to diagnose or treat any medical or psychological condition. If there are medical or psychological factors at work in your life currently or should they become issues during our relationship, it is critical that you promptly seek the proper professional assistance.
-
Maintain the strictest levels of confidentiality with all Client and sponsor information unless release is required by law, or the Client verbally expresses harming oneself or another.
-
Have a clear agreement how coaching information will be exchanged among coach, Client and sponsor.
​
​
As the Client, I agree to:
-
Communicate and remain honest, open, respectful and truthful at all times, to myself, Coach or other participants.
-
Willing to adopt a more positive outlook on self and life.

Ready to be fully accountable for my life/decisions/actions. I am responsible for my

may partake in the coaching sessions with me.

emotional well-being and implementing decisions and actions. As such, the Client agrees that the coach is not and will not be liable for any action or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the coach. Client understands that coaching is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, if does not prevent, cure or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.
-
The amount and terms of payment discussed and outlined on my invoice.
-
Acknowledge that coaching doesn’t give me answers, the answers lie within me and coaching offers a different outlook to see myself and the world differently than I may have prior to this relationship. Therefore, failure to engage or take action on my own
behalf, will not lead to my full success. I, therefore, agree to take action when necessary,
respect truth when revealed and complete all assignments with the best of my integrity.
-
Understand the sessions are facilitative in nature and that any actions and decisions
made by the Client are solely the responsibility of the Client.
