3. CAREER COACHING

Clients may choose to engage The Forem for career Coaching services (“Coaching”). Coaching is a partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the The Forem’s Coach (“Coach”) and Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the Client to maximize personal and professional potential.

A. Client Responsibilities During Coaching

Client is responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results. As such, the Client agrees that The Forem is not and will not be liable for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any Coaching provided. Client understands Coaching and mentoring is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.

Client understands that Coaching and mentoring is not to be used as a substitute for professional advice by legal, mental, medical, financial or other qualified professionals and will seek independent professional guidance for such matters. If Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, The Forem will recommend that Client inform the mental health care provider.

Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and create the time and energy to participate fully in the program

B. Coaching Sessions and Fees

The parties will typically agree to engage in a set number of Coaching sessions for a fixed fee. Coaching sessions will take place through video, phone, and/or in person sessions. The Forem will be available to Client by email and text in between scheduled meetings but asks that client use discretion. Coach may also be available for additional time, per client’s request on a prorated basis for additional services (for example, reviewing documents, reading or writing reports, attending events, engaging in other client related services outside of Coaching hours).

The time of the Coaching meetings and/or location will be determined by the Coach and Client based on a mutually agreed upon time. The Client will initiate all scheduled calls and will call the Coach at a provided phone number for all scheduled meetings.

Client agrees that it is the Client's responsibility to notify the Coach 48 hours in advance of the scheduled calls/meetings in the event of a cancellation. Cancellations occurring less than 24 hours in advance are subject to forfeiture of the session fee.

C. Confidentiality

The Coaching relationship, as well as all information (documented or verbal) that the Client shares with the Coach as part of the relationship, is bound to confidentiality but is not considered a legally confidential relationship (as would be protected by a law/regulation, like a doctor or attorney). 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. Confidential information does not include information that: (a) was in the Coach’s possession prior to its being furnished by the Client; (b) is generally known to the public or in the Client’s industry; (c) is obtained by the Coach from a third party, without breach of any obligation to the Client; (d) is independently developed by the Coach without use of or reference to the Client’s confidential information; or (e) that the Coach is required by law to disclose.
