Coaching is a partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Enliven Coach and the Client to help the client maximize their personal and professional potential.
- I (the Client) am solely responsible for creating and implementing my own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results resulting from my coaching calls and interactions with the Coach.
- The Coach is not responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any result of their services.
- I acknowledge that Enliven Coaches are volunteer support coaches who have completed the 6-Week Low Entropy Coaching Training and will not be professional, practicing coaches licensed by any Coaching Association unless otherwise stated in their profile.
- I understand coaching is not therapy and is not a substitute for counselling, and does not prevent, cure, or treat emotional distress, mental illness or medical need. It is my exclusive responsibility to seek independent professional guidance (for example, from a counselor, social worker, or psychotherapist) if needed.
- I know that everything I share during the Coaching relationship will be kept confidential as part of Low Entropy’s Code of Ethics for Enliven Coaches. The Coach will not share any of my information or my name as a reference without my written consent.
- I understand that this principle of confidentiality is a principle, not a legal requirement, and that Coaches must break confidentiality if required by law (for example, they are issued a subpoena) or if they reasonably believe there to be a likely risk of danger or harm to me, or someone else. For instance, if I talk about a major crime that has happened or will happen, or say that I’m planning on hurting myself or someone else.
- I understand that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, I will communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and will create the time and energy to participate fully.
- I will show up to my coaching sessions on time and be fully present. If I cannot make a coaching session, I will give my coach 24 hours notice of the change.
- I understand that my Coach can also reschedule session times and terminate our Coaching relationship at any time and for any reason, but will communicate changes to me 24 hours in advance.
