If the Client feels the need for professional advice or counseling, it is the Client’s responsibility to seek a licensed professional or therapist.

Client understands that an open line of communication and transparency is critical in this process in order for Coach to effectively provide services to Client under this Agreement.
 
Throughout the working relationship, the Coach will engage in direct and personal conversations. The conversations are two-way streets (mutual and reciprocal.) If at any time the Client believes that the Coaching or the Program is not working as desired, the Client will communicate that belief and take action to return the power to the Coaching relationship by initiating a professional and respectful conversation no later than the start of the next session scheduled.
 
 
8. Results and Guarantees
