We check in on client-coach compatibility and decide if we should proceed.

I share what coaching is — and is not — to clarify expectations with you and any stakeholders involved (Boss, HR).

I distinguish clearly between coaching, consulting, psychotherapy, counselling, facilitation, mentoring and training. If you request it, I can refer you to other helping professionals as needed.

I discuss my coaching packages, agreeing with you on mutual responsibilities of both coach and client, as well as setting out the role of relevant stakeholders in your development process.

I provide terms and conditions for my coaching packages, including logistics, fees, scheduling, duration, termination, ethics and confidentiality.

When you purchase a package, I provide a coaching contract and invoice/receipt. Before any coaching work begins, payment in full is required up front for the selected coaching package.

I partner with you and any relevant stakeholders (Boss, HR, peers or others) to set out a coaching plan with specific leadership impacts that you and your organisation aim to achieve.

I assert confidentiality around any information shared. I never divulge topics discussed in sessions except with permission from coachees or the team members whom I am coaching.

I emphasize that you are always free to choose any ideas, directions, processes or solutions you wish to pursue. In doing so, you remain 100% responsible for learning, progress, and results.
