COACHING AGREEMENT

This is an agreement is entered into by and between Linda Bradley, CPCC, PCC of Awakenings
Life Coaching and CHRISTINA LARSEN whereby the Coach agrees to provide Professional
Coaching Services for the client from JANUARY 18, 2024.

Description of Coaching : Coaching is a partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal busi-

ness partnership) between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process
that inspires the client to maximize personal and professional potential. It is designed to facilitate
the creation/development of personal, professional or business goals and to develop and carry out
a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.

The following details the commitment we will be entering into with one another, remember that
you also design this alliance so feel free to discuss things you may wish to clarify.

COACH’S COMMITMENTS:

My job as your coach is to be 100% committed to you being powerful, successful and having the
life you want. I will bring my full range of skills, experience, training and expertise to serve you
to the best of my abilities. Coaching sessions will focus on enhancing your skills and behaviours.
You can expect me to:

1. Be your confidant, ally, supporter, truth teller and sounding board.

2. Provide an environment that supports the coaching process and effective collaboration.
3. Be very direct, straightforward and honest.
4. Ask clarifying questions and make empowering requests that support YOUR desired outcome
and to coach you to stay clear, focused and proactive.
5. Strengthen personal accountability by following up with you regarding the status and out-
come of your action plans.
6. Support you to evaluate the value coaching is providing you.
7. Adhere and abide by the International Coach Federation’s professional Code of Ethics and
Standards.
(See Attachment A).

CLIENT’S COMMITMENTS:

I understand that:
1. I acknowledge I am engaging in coaching to make significant changes in my life and that
deciding how to handle these issues and incorporate coaching into those areas is both my
choice and responsibility.
2. Change is cumulative, we learn by taking two steps forward and often one step back.
Therefore I agree to commit to 4 sessions, after which there will be a 15 minute check
in call to determine continuation. Should the coach and client agree to continue past the
initial 4 sessions, this contract will still be valid. I understand that some changes will oc-
cur quickly while others will take more time. This allows for the coaching relationship to
develop momentum and power and to support me collaboratively to break through any
barriers to my success.
3. The power of the coaching relationship can only be granted by me —and I agree to do
just that—empower the relationship to be successful. When the coaching is not working
as I desire, I agree to communicate and proactively take necessary actions to redesign our
coaching relationship to meet my changing needs.
4. I understand that my coach will challenge me with powerful questions; make requests to
take action when I have identified something that is important to me and/or bring me
closer to my goals; she will hold me accountable to my commitments.
5. Coaching is not a substitute for professional advice or counsel by legal, medical, psycho-
logical, financial, business, or other qualified professionals. I will seek independent pro-
fessional guidance for legal, medical, psychological, financial, business, or other matters.
I understand that all decisions in these areas are exclusively mine and I acknowledge that
my decisions and my actions regarding them are my sole responsibility.
6. I understand that I am responsible for my own participation in coaching, and for my own
wellbeing. I have not taken on coaching as a substitute for the services of a health profes-
sional. I have not taken on coaching to handle a physical, emotional, mental or addictive
problem. I am clear that no part of coaching is presented by or under the supervision of
health professionals and that I will seek out such independent professional guidance as
needed.
7. I assume for myself and my heirs, family members, executors, administrators and assigns,
all risk of physical injury and emotional upset, which may occur during or after coaching.
I agree to hold, Linda Bradley, harmless from any and all liability arising out of my par-
ticipation in coaching.

A coaching relationship is unique, the coach and client become co-creators, collaborators, in a
way. It is a peer relationship where the coach and the client have equal, though different, roles.
To this end, as client I agree to:

1. Share what I know about my own motivation, patterns of beliefs and behaviours.
2. Be as honest and disclosing as I am able to be with myself and coach.

3. Take responsibility for bringing coaching issues or topics to the appointments.
4. Fulfill commitments I make to complete actions within the agreed upon time.
5. Give my coach permission to be direct, intrude, challenge and hold me accountable to what I
say I will do.
6. Remember the coach is committed to my development, my goals, and my success.
7. Receive feedback and hard-hitting or provocative questions with an open mind.
8. Experiment with new ways of doing things or thinking about things – whether these are pro-
posed by the coach or me.

FEES, SCHEDULING, CHANGES:

• Our coaching sessions will be conducted online via telephone. Our ongoing coaching sessions
will be on THURSDAYS 11:30 AM.

• Your coaching fees would be as follows:

- 4 x 60 minute telephone sessions = $504.00

• We can reschedule any appointment without penalty if a minimum of 7 hours notice is given.
(i.e.: For a 7 pm session you have contacted me prior to 12 pm that day to advise you will need
to reschedule.) If less than 7 hours notice has been given it will be considered coaching time
used. (If you have an emergency such as a family illness or an extenuating circumstance we can
work around it.)

• If you must cancel a call, we will make it up by rebooking or adding extra time to other calls.
Your monthly invoice will be what has been agreed to in this contract.

• If you are late for an appointment, your session will be shortened accordingly.

• After 2 no-shows or cancellations without rescheduling, the coach may terminate the agree-
ment.

• 30 days’ notice or two sessions notice are required to cancel further services.

• Coaching is by design a confronting and can be an uncomfortable process. At times a client

may feel that s/he is unable or unwilling to move forward on a goal as fear or discomfort arises.
While your coach understands that this can be a normal part of the process, I am committed
that you show progress on your goals and not be stopped by your fear or discomfort. Therefor
I do not offer refunds of any monies paid. Simply, the coaching relationship is a professional
engagement. Once your fees are paid, the services are available.

• The final session at the conclusion of the coaching relationship will be taken as formal comple-
tion call.

IN BETWEEN CALLS. As your coach, I support you for the entire month, not just during our

have an urgent issue or to share a success. I am glad to provide this extra level of service. Al-
though I do not charge for this additional time, I do ask that you please keep the extra calls to 10
minutes.
