Bossy Stassi, LLC
Coaching Agreement
The services to be provided are coaching, as defined by the International Coach Federation (ICF) and designed jointly with the client. The following is the ICF definition of coaching (from http://www.coachfederation.org).
“Professional Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. 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 their future… [The Coach and Client] 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.”
Please note, by signing this agreement you are recognizing and acknowledging that Nastassia Betcher will provide no medical or mental health services. Rather, as a coaching client, the coaching services will focus on setting and achieving future goals which can be focused on (but not limited to); relationships, self-discovery and growth, professional goals, designing your ideal life, improving communication, and identifying mental or relational obstacles hindering you from growth.

If we see each other accidentally outside of the office, I will not acknowledge you first. Your right to privacy and confidentiality is of the utmost importance to me, and I do not wish to jeopardize your privacy. However, if you acknowledge me first, I will be more than happy to speak briefly with you, but feel it appropriate not to engage in any lengthy discussions in public or outside of the therapy office.
During our sessions I will be asking a lot of questions with the intention to guide you to your answers, discoveries, and realizations. I will challenge you to question your assumptions and push you to grow. I trust that we will keep an open and honest line of communication, and you’ll let me know if something isn’t working for you. By extending this agreement to you, the client, I commit to believing in you and showing up fully as your coach for the duration of our working relationship.
