What is a Coaching Agreement?

A Coaching Agreement is a legal contract between a coach and a client.

It covers all of the important terms of your client journey – how you will work together, for how long, and what you will charge.

Do I need a contract for my coaching clients?

Yep. No doubt about it. What will you do if something goes wrong?

A contract protects both you and your clients.

It’s not about big legal words and getting the upper hand on your clients. It’s relationship insurance. A legally binding contract does the boring legal leg work, manages expectations, and provides certainty. That way, you can focus on what you want to achieve in your business.

Make sure your contract does the hard work for you.

Success Disclaimer

A Success Disclaimer is an essential clause for your Coaching Agreement. Luckily, it’s in our template already!

It basically states that the client is responsible for the outcomes of the coaching journey, and success will depend on how they implement the advice and guidance of the coach.

After all, they are responsible for “doing the work” and taking action in order to achieve the goals you set together in your sessions.
