Mentoring Agreement

JEWEL COACHING & MENTORING AGREEMENT

Welcome!  

I look forward to working with you as your coach and mentor!   This agreement is the foundation for our work.

Mentoring and coaching is an evolving, growing relationship where both the mentor/coach and you commit to your growth and evolution towards being the highest expression of who you truly are.

As your coach and mentor, I will support you as you ponder options and possibilities open to you, help you find clarity around challenges and be a sounding board to bounce ideas around with; I have your best interests at heart and will always hold the ideal of who you truly are while you search for the best way to become that; I will challenge you, stretch you to go beyond what you thought you were capable of and support your highest good; I will endeavor to teach you how to connect with something greater than who you think you are.

My commitment to you as a coach and mentor is:

1. To hold you in a judgment-free zone and in unconditional positive regard

2. To remain centered, fully present, honest and open

3. To foster a coaching relationship full of wonder, optimism and joy.

4. To help you to be your highest, clearest, brightest self and hold the ideal of your unique perfection

5. To provide a safe and supportive environment in which to discover and explore

6. To respect the confidentiality of our relationship as permitted by law

7. To encourage and help you to expand your horizons of what is possible and to celebrate your successes with you

8. To deeply listen to you and follow your lead in terms of focus, dreams, plans and goals

Your commitment to me as a client is:

1. To be real, genuine and honest with me

2. To respect our relationship by being punctual to calls/ meetings, diligently doing the tasks set forth in each session (and timely e-mailing your homework), recognizing and owning that you create your reality and being fully accountable for that

3. To commit yourself to goals that are truly meaningful and significant to you

4. To provide ongoing feedback on whether the coaching is valuable and meeting your needs

5. To experiment with new approaches and practice new behaviors and ways of being

6. To be open and receptive to receiving my feedback and letting me know whether it fits or has relevance to you

7. To acknowledge and celebrate your progress and accomplishments.

The nature of our relationship:

Coaching and mentoring is not counseling or any type of psychological therapy.  Results vary based upon your willingness to be coached and mentored.  It is your responsibility to change behaviors, take actions based on insights and awareness made in the sessions and commit to the follow-up actions determined in the session. Accordingly, you (and anyone acting on your behalf or in your place) agree not to hold Arlene Cohen Miller or Jewel Coaching & Mentoring liable for any outcomes resulting directly or indirectly from our coaching and mentoring sessions and/or this agreement.

Acceleration:

Several factors will accelerate your growth and success. Come to each session with a clear idea of what you would like to focus on, play with and/or celebrate. Do your homework or agreed-upon tasks and timely e-mail me the summary, responses to questions or written agenda before our next session. Only agree to action plans that you fully intend to carry out, and then do it!  If for any reason, you don’t follow through as promised and agreed,  be ready and willing to explore the obstacles or impediments you encountered and how to best address them in the future.

Payment:

We have agreed on a fee of $    per 45 minute session, which is payable in advance.

We have agreed to a monthly fee of $        , which is payable in advance.

We have agreed to additional fees as follows:

Health insurance will not cover mentoring and coaching / mentoring sessions; however, they may be a tax deductable expense.  All fees must be paid before sessions will occur.

Time:

We will establish a set time and date for you to call me at either 303.772.0165 or 303.776.8104.

Changes:

I have reserved your time for you. If the need arises, please give me 48 hours notice and we will reschedule. Without proper notice (emergencies and illness excluded), you are responsible for payment for the session.  If you are more than 10 minutes late calling in for scheduled session, it will be cancelled and billed as a no show.  If you arrive late for an in person session, the session will end at the agreed-upon time with no reduction in the fee.

Arlene will notify you promptly if we need to reschedule one of our meetings.

Preparation:

Before our session begins, take time to breathe, relax and get comfortable.  Are you in a place where you will not be disturbed?  Do you have pen and paper ready to jot down some notes, if appropriate?  Do you have a glass of water? Are you aligned, centered, fully present and ready to be mentored and coached?

Consider these questions before our session

1. What progress have I made since our last session?
2. What challenges did I face? How did I handle them? Which do I still need to handle?
3. What new insights or opportunities have emerged?
4. What would I like to focus on, play with or celebrate this session?

Problems:  

Honesty and trust are very important to our mentoring-coaching relationship.  If I ever say or do something that upsets you or does not feel right, please bring it up. I promise to do whatever I can to work this out with you in mutually agreeable way.

Refunds:

I offer you a Money Back Guarantee if you are dissatisfied with your progress and have fulfilled all of your commitments and responsibilities as the client.

Referrals:

If you are benefitting from our relationship, please suggest my services to appropriate friends and colleagues, and let them know that I offer a free confidential consultation.

I, _______________________________, have read and agree to the above.
