The Coaching Process: Coaching is a cooperative learning process through which you will grow into taking enhanced control over your life and becoming more self-motivated and empowered. This process requires a commitment for you to identify and explore the problems that brought you to EdGuru’s Coaching Services. At times, coaching may stir up feelings of discomfort and a realization that you may be a contributing factor to your current situation. Coaching can also result in humor and fun, relief, new insights and behavior

Change. The greater the level of openness you make in coaching by expressing your feelings and opinions about the process, the more successful this endeavor will be for you. Sometimes outside “homework” is helpful such as reading, journal writing or simply taking better care of yourself.

 Confidentiality: Information, particularly information shared in the coaching session, is strictly confidential and will not be disclosed without your written authorization except in these situations:

  • When there is a clear and immediate danger to you, other individuals, or society, we are required to intervene. If we believe you pose a life-threatening risk to yourself or to others, we may need to notify responsible individuals for your protection. In this case, we may call your emergency contact person, a friend, or relative.

Appointments: Appointments are usually scheduled on the hour and last 30 – 60 minutes.  Coaching is a time-sensitive activity and your appointment is reserved specifically for you. If you must cancel an appointment or reschedule, please call 24 hours before the appointment time. Cancellations with less than 24 hours, notice will be charged one-half your regular fee. If you fail to show up for your scheduled appointment without notifying us ahead of time, you will be held responsible for the full fee of the missed appointment.

 

Length and Termination of Coaching Sessions: The number of coaching sessions may vary depending on the type and level of degree of problems. Your coach will take into account individual factors and discuss a time frame that meets your needs. Because of the importance of the coach/client relationship, you are encouraged you to talk to your coach if you are considering leaving coaching. The coaching process involves growth experience. Therefore, terminating the relationship is part of that growth experience.

Fees and Payment: Payment is expected at the time of treatment. We accept payment by credit or debit card. If you have concerns regarding your payment, this may be discussed with your coach.

Business Hours: Hours may vary according to the time zone of each coach. We have voicemail available to you anytime. If you leave a message after hours or on weekends, it will likely be the next business day before we are able to return your call.

Procedures Regarding Legal Proceedings: Any attorneys requiring confidential information on clients will be billed for the information released, the time required to compile the information and any materials or postage necessary. The attorneys will also be billed for all court costs incurred. This will include preparation time, actual court appearance, and travel time. (A minimum of three hours will be billed for the court appearance and travel time.)  The fee involved for these services will be $95.00 per hour. The sliding fee scale does not apply when Legal Proceedings are involved. In the event that the attorneys fail to pay for these services, the balance due will be the responsibility of the person or persons signing this Agreement.
