Client’s Role
As the client, I agree to do the following during our coaching relationship:
-
Initiate coaching sessions, keep scheduled appointments and be on time
-
Shape the agenda. You get to decide what the subjects are and how deep you want to go.
-
Make arrangements to avoid distraction and be focused during my coaching session
-
Bring my specific topic which I want to be coached on
-
Be honest and open.
-
Be open-minded and willing to receive and consider challenging questions, look at different perspectives, stretch into new skills, and take on new approaches
-
Either accept, reject, or negotiate for something else when my coach makes requests of me in service of my goals and agenda.
-
Accept complete responsibility for the decisions I make and the consequences of those decisions. My coaches job is to provide different perspectives and possibilities to consider, and thus do not provide any directives.
-
Empower the coaching relationship to be successful; and when the coaching relationship is not working as I desire, communicate and pro-actively take necessary steps to redesign our coaching relationship to meet my changing needs

The Phoenix Performance Partners organization is committed to providing a supportive and enriching environment for our clients on their journey to personal and professional growth. To ensure a successful and mutually beneficial coaching relationship, we implement a "releasing, indemnifying, and hold harmless" clause in our client agreements. This clause is designed to protect both parties involved, with a focus on maintaining a constructive and positive coaching experience. By agreeing to this, clients acknowledge that the coaching process is a collaborative effort, and any decisions made or actions taken based on the coaching relationship are ultimately the responsibility of the client. This clause ensures that the coaching company is held harmless from any legal or financial liabilities that may arise from the client's choices or actions, encouraging a sense of accountability and empowerment throughout the coaching journey.
We believe that this approach fosters trust, open communication, and a secure space for clients to explore their potential and achieve their goals.
