Coaching Procedure

1. The coaching schedule will be arranged between YI and the client and can be booked up to 3 months in advance. YI will recommend the frequency of coaching sessions based on a professional assessment of the client’s requirements. This recommendation, or plan, is not binding and may be altered and adjusted throughout the coaching journey by mutual agreement, in accordance with the terms set out in this agreement.

2. The number of coaching session will be agreed at the start of coaching between YI and the client, and confirmed by YI by email . Where no specific number is agreed sessions will be provided on a session by session basis. Due to the nature of coaching, the initial term usually recommended is four sessions. Full payment is due before or at the first session. Additional sessions can be booked thereafter.

3. The length of each session is usually 1 hour but can be agreed between YI and the client at the commencement of the session.

4. Coaching will take place between the client and their coach face-to-face (venue by mutual agreement), via Skype (client calls coach), or by telephone (client calls coach). Face-to-face coaching will take place in the offices of YI or at a mutually agreed venue. Where coaching takes place at a mutually agreed venue the client will be liable for any costs incurred by YI at that time. Unless otherwise agreed, the client is responsible for telephoning YI at agreed times.

5. YI may assign the client tasks or exercises to complete between coaching sessions. There is no obligation on the client to complete these tasks, but not doing so may slow the client's progress in gaining improved quality of life or achieving desired business or personal outcomes. Where possible, clients are requested to submit any information requested by BIG relating to assignments at least 24 hours before the coaching session when they are to be discussed. YI will provide feedback on completed assignments during coaching sessions.

6. The client may contact YI by phone or email between sessions to share a success or seek clarification on a coaching issue. Support between sessions is seen by YI as a necessary part of the coaching process. YI will always advise a client in advance if the nature of a client's contact is likely to incur an additional charge, and no such charges will be imposed without the client's agreement.

Cancellation & Rearranging Sessions

1. If the client needs to rearrange a coaching session, they should provide at least 48 hours’ notice. No refunds will be given to clients for unused coaching sessions unless 48 hours’ notice has been given. In exceptional circumstances YI may need to rearrange a coaching session; in these circumstances YI will use reasonable endeavours to provide a mutually satisfactory alternative appointment the client.

2. Where a client pays for a session, or sessions, in advance they must have the coaching session(s) that they have paid for within 6 months of the payment, or their fee is forfeited.

3. The client may terminate their coaching contract at any time in writing. Any monies owed at the time of cancellation will become due immediately. Refunds on payments made against future sessions will be at the discretion of YI.

4. In exceptional circumstances, such as illness or unavailability due to bereavement or other commitments, inappropriate behaviour by the client, actual or potential conflict of interest, or other reasons, YI can decide to terminate the service to the client early or refuse or be unable to provide further coaching sessions to the client. In such a circumstance the client will be given reasonable notice of termination by YI where practicable, and will be refunded any advance payments made for coaching sessions not yet provided.

5. There may be occasions when YI may recommend to the client that they seek an alternative service more suited to their current needs. In this event YI will fully discuss the reasons for the recommendation with the client.
