Agreement for Career Counseling & Job Search Services
This agreement between DONNA SWEIDAN, as Coach, and $Davide Detta$, as Client, includes 10 hours of coaching. Your investment for coaching is $1225 billed now and 30 days from now for a total of $2450. This agreement is valid for the next 60 days from the agreement start date.
ENGAGEMENT: Coaching may address specific career, resume, social media, business and personal projects or general conditions in the Client’s life, profession or company. Coaching services may involve brainstorming, career exploration and assessment, career transition skills, networking and interview preparation, resume writing, personal branding, goal setting, personal empowerment, plans of action, and wellness. Due to the highly individualized and nuanced nature of our work, the Client's goals may evolve over time.
As Client,
- I understand that there will be times when the deliverables will be intangible such as clarity, hope, confidence, insight, and motivation.
- I understand that career counseling/coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve all areas of my life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. I acknowledge that deciding how to handle these issues and implement my choices is exclusively my responsibility.
- I commit to the coaching relationship by coming to the sessions prepared to participate fully with a topic I want to focus on and by being honest with my coach to design the coaching relationship that will work for me.
As your Coach,
- my promise to you is to be unconditionally constructive in the service of your goals. I ask your permission to be bold and forthright in coaching you. You can count on me to:
- Be honest and straightforward
- Ask powerful questions to deepen your learning
- Make requests to move you forward
- Hold you accountable for the actions you commit to
- Share resources where appropriate
- Be reasonable and flexible
CONFIDENTIALITY: As a matter of ethics, I uphold the Coach’s responsibility to maintain strict confidentiality about ALL personal information shared by the Client. The only exception is when the Client shares information that gives the counselor reasonable cause to believe there are threats of serious harm to the client him/herself or to others. I abide by the guidelines of the National Career Development Association. The Coach considers the current and future plans, business affairs, customer/client lists and personal and financial information of the Client to be proprietary. The Coach warrants that all proprietary information provided to Coach during the coaching process will be kept strictly confidential.
PAYMENT: In consideration of all services hereunder, Client agrees to pay the amount corresponding to his or her choice of initial coaching hours and payment plan (and, if Client requests any additional sessions after this initial term, the amounts as agreed in writing or via email between Client and Coach):
The amount corresponding to the plan elected is payable by Chase Quick Pay, credit card or Paypal account and due in advance upon receipt of an invoice. Fees are based on 60-minute coaching sessions, which can be combined for longer sessions of minutes (2 hours, equivalent to two sessions) or 180 minutes (3 hours, equivalent to 3 sessions). Coaching time, once paid, is not refundable.
NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP: Throughout the coaching relationship, the Client can rely on the Coach to be honest and straightforward in asking questions and making requests. The Client understands that coaching is by permission and grants the Coach permission to coach. If Client believes the coaching is not producing the desired results, Client will communicate and work with the Coach to migrate the focus of coaching sessions toward such results.
THE COUNSELING/ COACHING RELATIONSHIP IS LIMITED TO: career counseling and assessment, personal branding, career development coaching, resume development, LinkedIn and social media revamp and coaching, network development and assistance, interview coaching, salary negotiation coaching, small business development, and entrepreneurship.
