Coaching Agreement
I am here as a thinking partner, sounding board, and champion for you to focus on what you want and need from the process of the dissolution of marriage (divorce), to help you to move forward through the business of divorce, setting goals and taking actions to move forward, and doing the internal work necessary to go through the process of transition as productively as possible.
Here is what it will take for this coaching relationship to work for both of us:
| You (as Client) promise to: | I (as Coach) promise to: |
|---|---|
| Come to the session/call expecting to have a productive coaching session | Show up for you ready to work on your agenda without judgment. |
| Call my coach at the scheduled time. | Send you reminder notices about your calls and the Call Strategy Form. |
| Focus each session on the most important areas for my moving through and beyond the divorce process. | Respect your boundaries and ask for permission to talk about sensitive areas. |
| Give my coach at least 24 hours notice if I need to reschedule our coaching session. | Be flexible to the extent that my schedule allows in accommodating unforeseen events. |
| Accept responsibility that if I miss an appointment, it will not be made up. | Hold your reserved call times to the exclusion of everything else. |
| Take on my coaching commitments and do what I said I would do. | Ask you to stretch yourself and try on the negotiated coaching request. |
| Call my coach for coaching between sessions when I find myself stuck or not in action. | Make myself available to you for brief calls, review materials or answer emails between sessions. |
| I will tell the truth to myself and to my coach. | Be direct in my communication when appropriate – always with your permission. |
| Give my coach feedback on our coaching sessions including what is working and not working. | Commit to having the coaching process be an experience that really works for you! |
| Be responsible for choosing my attitude no matter what the circumstances! | Be your champion! |
