Dear Client,

Welcome to the coaching relationship! I am excited to be working with you in this process. 

I imagine you want to know a bit about me. My husband and I started our betrayal recovery journey in 2008, and we were so fortunate to find Faithful & True early on. We worked with Mark & Debbie Laaser to reclaim and rebuild our marriage as we engaged in couples work, individual work, and support groups. Along the way, I began working alongside Debbie to help lead women’s groups. I learned such deep and abiding truths from her and from the dozens of women I have walked with over the years. Having relocated to Athens, GA, I now lead online women’s groups and work with women individually over Zoom.

So, what is a life coach?  According to the International Coaching Federation, coaching…’uses a thought-provoking and creative process to inspire people to maximize their personal potential.’ It is all about getting you where you want to be through personal exploration, goal setting, and the development of action steps. 

I will do my best to honor your story, earn your trust, listen well, speak carefully, and facilitate your growth. 

 

Faithful & True Coaching Session Agreements:                                              

It is important that we agree to be:

• Welcoming to new ideas
• Working as a partnership
• Supportive and respectful
• Challenging in an encouraging way
• Responsible for keeping the learning in motion
• Accountable to our agreements

All clients should feel free to: 

• Question!
• Say what works and what does not! 
• Challenge!
• Be curious!
• Work to develop the most effective and rewarding coaching relationship for you.
• Notice and tell me what lifts your energy and what feels flat for you.

 

The first session will be a time for us to get to know each other a bit and discuss the coaching process and how it might best meet your needs. All sessions will be for 50 minutes.  

I am happy to have the opportunity to work with you! Please e-mail me with any questions.

Confidentiality: I recognize that in the course of our work, you may give me a variety of personal and professional information. I will not at any time, either directly or indirectly, use any information for my own personal benefit, disclose, or communicate in any manner any information to any third party.  I, Dee Vodicka, will not divulge that you and I are in a coaching relationship without your permission. I will hold everything that we say and do confidential unless you present as a physical danger to yourself or others.  In this case, I will inform potential victims and legal authorities so that protective measures can be taken. If subpoenaed, (though it is unlikely to occur) client/ coach (or therapist) confidentiality, is not protected in a court of law.

Nature of the relationship: You are aware that the coaching relationship is in no way to be construed as psychological counseling, psychotherapy, or any health-related service.

You enter into coaching with the understanding that you are responsible for creating your own results. You are hiring Dee Vodicka for the purpose of advising and supporting you with respect to achieving your goals.

We do not allow conferencing while driving for safety reasons. We acknowledge that despite our best efforts, no communication platform is 100% secure and the signee acknowledges that fact.
