Life Coach Contract Template
What a coaching agreement needs to cover: payment schedules, cancellation policy, confidentiality and the boundaries of the work, written in language a client will actually read.
What it covers
- What is included, and how many sessions that is
- When payment is due, and what happens when it is not
- Cancellation and rescheduling, decided before anybody cancels
- Confidentiality, and the narrow situations where it does not hold
- The scope of coaching, and what you will refer elsewhere
Questions
Is a template enough, or do I need a lawyer?
A template is enough to start a conversation and to be clear with a client. It is not legal advice, and contract law differs by country, so have a local professional look at it before you rely on it.
Do I really need one for a single session?
Yes, and it is shorter than you think. The point is that both of you know what was agreed on the one occasion something goes wrong.
