This Group Coaching Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between the Living with HOPE program, a Christian health and wellness program for women ("Program"), and the undersigned client ("Client") for participation in group coaching sessions.

​

Purpose: The Living with HOPE program aims to support women in achieving health and wellness goals through a faith-based coaching approach, fostering personal growth, accountability, and community in a supportive environment.

​

Confidentiality and Group Courtesy:

• All information shared during group coaching sessions is confidential and will not be disclosed by the coach or participants  except as required by law. Participants agree to maintain the confidentiality of all group discussions and respect the privacy of fellow group members.

• To ensure a respectful and inclusive environment, all participants agree to practice courtesy by actively listening, allowing everyone an opportunity to share, and refraining from interrupting or dominating discussions.

​

As the Client, I agree to:

1. Understand that coaching is distinct from medical care, therapy, or services provided by a dietician, nutritionist, or fitness trainer. Coaching is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health treatment.

2. Show up on time, be present, and be prepared for group coaching sessions.

3. Commit to the coaching process and the goals we agree upon as part of the Living with HOPE program.

4. Be open, honest, and willing to share any issues that may impede my progress.

5. Acknowledge that coaching may nudge me out of my comfort zone and may involve inquiries to foster growth.

6. Acknowledge that I take full responsibility for my actions, choices, and the outcomes of the coaching process. The coach is not responsible for, nor guarantees, specific outcomes or results.

7. Commit to completing the work assigned between sessions to foster learning and growth.

8. Identify any issues that arise in the coaching relationship and communicate if anything the coach or group does or says does not feel right.

9. Understand that all information will be held confidential unless I state otherwise in writing, except as required by law.

 

As your Coach, I agree to:

1. Be present, prepared, and on time for our group coaching sessions.

2. Respond to emails between sessions within 24 hours or sooner.

3. Work with you through inquiry and dialogue to clarify your goals, design your action plan, and provide support and accountability.

4. Offer feedback, acknowledgment, and insights to support your progress.

5. Help identify obstacles and challenges that may impede your progress.

6. Evaluate and check in throughout the coaching process to address anything affecting our relationship and adjust as necessary to ensure a productive coaching experience.

7. Notify you 24 hours in advance if I need to cancel or reschedule a session.

8. Hold all information confidential, except as required by law.

 

Program Details:

• Sessions will be conducted in a group setting, with schedules and formats communicated in advance.

• The Client agrees to adhere to the Program’s guidelines and participate actively in the group process.

 

Termination:

• Either party may terminate this Agreement with written notice. The Client remains responsible for any outstanding fees for services rendered prior to termination.

 

By joining the group coaching HOPE Call via Zoom, I acknowledge that I have read, understood, and agree to the terms of this Agreement.
