This Agree­ment is en­tered into by and be­tween

Coach: Gen­nady S. Gorgul
and
Client: how shall I call you?

whereby Coach agrees to pro­vide coach­ing ser­vices for Client fo­cus­ing on the top pri­or­ity goal / ob­jec­tive / out­come / re­sult / topic etc.

De­scrip­tion of coach­ing: coach­ing is part­ner­ship (de­fined as an al­liance, not a legal busi­ness part­ner­ship) be­tween the Coach and the Client in a thought-pro­vok­ing and cre­ative process that in­spires the client to max­i­mize per­sonal and pro­fes­sional po­ten­tial. It is de­signed to fa­cil­i­tate the cre­ation / de­vel­op­ment of per­sonal, pro­fes­sional or busi­ness goals and to de­velop and carry out a strat­egy / plan for achiev­ing those goals.

1) Coach-Client re­la­tion­ship:

A. Coach agrees to main­tain the ethics and stan­dards of be­hav­ior es­tab­lished by the In­ter­na­tional Coach Fed­er­a­tion. It is rec­om­mended that the Client re­view the ICF Code of Ethics and the ap­plic­a­ble stan­dards of be­hav­ior.

B. Client is solely re­spon­si­ble for cre­at­ing and im­ple­ment­ing his / her own phys­i­cal, men­tal and emo­tional well-being, de­ci­sions, choices, ac­tions and re­sults aris­ing out of or re­sult­ing from the coach­ing re­la­tion­ship and his / her coach­ing calls and in­ter­ac­tions with the Coach. As such, the Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be li­able or re­spon­si­ble for any ac­tions or in­ac­tion, or for any di­rect or in­di­rect re­sult of any ser­vices pro­vided by the Coach. Client un­der­stands coach­ing is not ther­apy and does not sub­sti­tute for ther­apy if needed, and does not pre­vent, cure, or treat any men­tal dis­or­der or med­ical dis­ease.

C. Client fur­ther ac­knowl­edges that he / she may ter­mi­nate or dis­con­tinue the coach­ing re­la­tion­ship at any time.

D. Client ac­knowl­edges that coach­ing is a com­pre­hen­sive process that may in­volve dif­fer­ent areas of his or her life, in­clud­ing work, fi­nances, health, re­la­tion­ships, ed­u­ca­tion and recre­ation. The Client agrees that de­cid­ing how to han­dle these is­sues, in­cor­po­rate coach­ing prin­ci­ples into those areas and im­ple­ment­ing choices is ex­clu­sively the Client's re­spon­si­bil­ity.

E. Client ac­knowl­edges that coach­ing does not in­volve the di­ag­no­sis or treat­ment of men­tal dis­or­ders as de­fined by the Amer­i­can Psy­chi­atric As­so­ci­a­tion and that coach­ing is not to be used as a sub­sti­tute for coun­sel­ing, psy­chother­apy, psy­cho­analy­sis, men­tal health care, sub­stance abuse treat­ment, or other pro­fes­sional ad­vice by legal, med­ical or other qual­i­fied pro­fes­sion­als and that it is the Client's ex­clu­sive re­spon­si­bil­ity to seek such in­de­pen­dent pro­fes­sional guid­ance as needed. If Client is cur­rently under the care of a men­tal health pro­fes­sional, it is rec­om­mended that the Client promptly in­form the men­tal health care provider of the na­ture and ex­tent of the coach­ing re­la­tion­ship agreed upon by the Client and the Coach.

F. The Client un­der­stands that in order to en­hance the coach­ing re­la­tion­ship, the Client agrees to com­mu­ni­cate hon­estly, be open to feed­back and as­sis­tance and to cre­ate the time and en­ergy to par­tic­i­pate fully in the pro­gram.

2) Ser­vices:

The par­ties agree to en­gage in a month coach­ing pro­gram through (e.g., in-per­son, in­ter­net, tele­phone) meet­ings.

Coach may also be avail­able for ad­di­tional time, per Client's re­quest on a pro­rated basis rate of (for ex­am­ple, re­view­ing doc­u­ments, read­ing or writ­ing re­ports, en­gag­ing in other Client re­lated ser­vices out­side of coach­ing hours).

5) Con­fi­den­tial­ity:

This coach­ing re­la­tion­ship, as well as all in­for­ma­tion (doc­u­mented or ver­bal) that the Client shares with the Coach as part of this re­la­tion­ship, is bound by the prin­ci­ples of con­fi­den­tial­ity set forth in the Code of Ethics. How­ever, please be aware that the Coach-Client re­la­tion­ship is not con­sid­ered a legally con­fi­den­tial re­la­tion­ship (like the med­ical and legal pro­fes­sions) and thus com­mu­ni­ca­tions are not sub­ject to the pro­tec­tion of any legally rec­og­nized priv­i­lege. The Coach agrees not to dis­close any in­for­ma­tion per­tain­ing to the Client with­out the Client's writ­ten con­sent. The Coach will not dis­close the Client's name as a ref­er­ence with­out the Client's con­sent.

The Client also ac­knowl­edges his or her con­tin­u­ing oblig­a­tion to raise any con­fi­den­tial­ity ques­tions or con­cerns with the Coach in a timely man­ner.
