COACHING SERVICES: Professional Coaching is a professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, and relationships. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. Coaching accelerates the client's progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are now and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be in the future. Coaches recognize that results are a matter of the client's intentions, choices and actions, supported by the coach's efforts and application of the coaching process.

You can expect that Cherie Lindberg will be honest and direct, asking straightforward questions and using challenging techniques to help you move forward. You are expected to evaluate your own progress; and, if the coaching is not working as you wish, you should immediately inform your Coach so that we can both take steps to correct the problem. As with any human endeavor, coaching can involve feelings of discomfort and frustration which may accompany the process of change. Coaching does not offer any guarantee of success. Life and business coaching are NOT therapy, and although Cherie Lindberg has been a practicing professional clinical counselor for over two decades, she is NOT in the role of your therapist under this Agreement.

A personal development/performance enhancement coach does not diagnose or treat mental illnesses. If you are currently in therapy, you are strongly encouraged to inform your therapist that you are also engaged in coaching, to help ensure that their work with you is mutually supportive toward your goals. It is understood and agreed to by The Client and The Coach that if either of us recognizes that you, the client, have a problem that would benefit from psychotherapy, that the coach may refer or direct you to appropriate resources in addition to or in lieu of Coaching. In some situations, as a condition of our continuance as your coach, I may insist that you enter psychotherapy and that we have your consent to discuss matters which concern you with your psychotherapist for continuity of care. It is further understood that Cherie Lindberg is not obligated, nor would it be appropriate, to provide you, the client, with psychotherapy services in any way. Personal development/performance enhancement coaching tends to focus more on action, accountability, potential, and the future. Coaching services are a good fit for individuals who are emotionally and psychologically healthy and who want to make changes and move forward in their personal lives and achieve business goals.

SCOPE OF ENGAGEMENT: The Client(s) chooses and agrees to participate fully in the Cherie Lindberg’s Performance Enhancement Coaching Program. The Coach is here to help, guide, advise and support the Client(s) as well as to review any work that is completed during the program. The Client(s) acknowledges that the Program is designed to transform and help Client(s) grow personally or professionally as desired. In order to grow, people often need to face the possibility of unpleasant things and be pushed out of their comfort zone, and the Client(s) agrees to be opento such experiences throughout the course of the transformation.

The Coach may terminate or change the terms of this Agreement at any time in its discretion upon notice to the Client(s) if they feel that the professional coaching relationship is not respectful. The Client(s) understands that any failure on their part to complete the action steps in full throughout the program will result in possibly not receiving the full benefit of the program.

Should you choose to terminate this Agreement at any time before the conclusion of our services, any amount of the fee still owed by you will become due and payable immediately. The Term of this Agreement will commence upon YOUR acceptance of this Agreement and payment of the applicable Program Fee. By accepting the terms of this Agreement, you agree and understand that you are foregoing the right to claim any refund of fees paid for access and use of the Program(s) offered by the Coach.

You further acknowledge that in accepting the terms of this Agreement and affirmatively seeking the benefits of and membership in such Program(s)/Services, YOU are taking full responsibility for YOUR OWN success.Thus, you agree that you will not request a refund. In addition, it is your responsibility to attend the live online groups, one on one meetings, listen to the recordings, and ask for support.

CONFIDENTIALITY: The Client(s) understands that all information discussed is confidential and that written permission is required for any coach to speak with anyone regarding our work together. The Client(s) understands that the Coach may participate in professional consultation to assure that Client(s) are receiving the best coaching possible. The Client(s) further understands that at times telephone conversations, video, online, group calls, webinars, texts, e-mails or faxes may be utilized, and that the confidentiality of information transmitted through these venues cannot be guaranteed. Coaching is not a medical treatment and is not covered by HIPAA. Since the Coach may also be a licensed mental health professional, The Client(s) understands that the Coach is legally and ethically bound to protect either the Client(s) or others from harm, and that my confidentiality may be limited in this instance. This would include any information the Coach might disclose that indicates that a child or elderly or disabled person is being abused. The Client(s) further understands that if they are at imminent risk of hurting another, or themselves, the Coach is required to take protective action. If you are happy with your results and want to share your experiences in a video/interview, we will share the video and your first name and picture in marketing material to help inspire other clients and potential clients. In addition, by signing this agreement, you are giving permission & consent for your (The Client's) wins, celebrations, and positive progress shared in the client FB group, in a Chat, or on videos to be used (with a picture and first name) and shared on our client results page or other marketing materials to offer social proof to others who need the help as well.
