Agreement and Release for Student Coaching

As a Volunteer Client, I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my physical, mental, and emotional well-being during my coaching session, including my choices, decisions, and actions. I agree to honor my commitment to be available during the scheduled time, bring a topic I would like to be coached on, and participate fully and honestly in my coaching session. I understand and appreciate that the student is committed to their new coaching skills and is counting on me.

I understand coaching does NOT involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders nor is it a substitute for professional advice by legal, medical, financial, spiritual, or other qualified professionals. I understand that I am free to reject any advice, suggestions, or requests made by my coach at any time.

I further understand that I am engaging in supervised coaching by a Positive Coaching student other than the colleague who referred me. I understand that no one in the class, other than my assigned coach and the faculty, will know who my coach is. Accordingly, my coach may anonymously share their coaching experience  with other students and faculty during the debrief segment that follows. However, I also understand that the content of my coaching remains absolutely confidential. Afterward, I am free to share who my coach was and anything from the session I choose to. My coach will never share this information without my express permission. 

Attendance and Prompt Notification: If an unexpected circumstance prevents me from attending or if I’m running late, I will immediately call or text one of the Positive Coaching faculty or staff:

• Mina Brown @ 214-287-5577 (Principle Faculty)
• Cheryl Close @ 469-323-6060 (Senior Faculty)
• Michelle Baird @ 915-276-9973 (Executive Assistant and Program Coordinator) 

Note Regarding Coaching Relationship

All ICF coaching certification candidates are required to conduct 100 hours of coaching experience as part of their credentialing process. If you and your coach would like to continue the coaching relationship after the class is over in support of their goal, Positive Coaching Solutions confirms that there is no conflict of interest in this regard. There is, however, NO expectation of an ongoing coaching relationship.
