Guiding principles.

Every relationship does better when there’s a mutual agreement. Coaching is no different. This page spells out the terms of service to which you agree when you sign up to coach with me.

Section 1 - the coaching relationship

Everyone has radiance at their core, even when things seem dark. My job as a coach is to help you remember that radiant core Self.

I am here to be a mirror for that version of you, which already exists no matter how out of reach it might feel. This section provides guidance for our coaching relationship, and outlines what we each commit to bring to the experience.

My role as a coach:

  • hold the space for your growth and expansion, by helping you build a sense of agency, in your relationship to yourself, and a sense of authority, in your relationship with life

  • support your right to experience the deep joy of living your most authentic life

  • create a space where you feel safe to speak your truth (including those times when you don’t like what I’m saying!)

  • use my skills and experience to support you on your path of growth and expansion, at the pace which is healthiest and most supportive for you

  • believe in you, regardless of how much you can believe in yourself, in any given moment

  • haul you out of self-loathing and judgement and shame in whatever way I can, without judgement but with deep and ferocious commitment to you

  • keep my focus on your glory, while flowing compassion to your normal and wonderfully messy humanity

  • fiercely defend your right to live from joy, love, authenticity, and possibility - and teach you how to do that, too

  • be a mirror for your authentic self

  • help reveal the old, unhelpful patterns acquired from your cultural and personal conditioning, so you can see those too, and decide to change them

  • speak and think respectfully as much as I can (being only human), and also use swear words sometimes (you have been warned!)

  • support you in fulfilling your role as a client, with compassion and clarity

  • show up for every session on time, and with full focus on you

  • support you in between sessions, as agreed with you (via email, in a private FB group, via Messenger, via WhatsApp)

Your role as a client:

  • attend sessions on time, because you and your growth MATTER

  • also, life happens so occasional unavoidable tardiness or a need to change times will not be a dealbreaker - please just ask if you need to reschedule

  • be fully present for each session - no multitasking, no other humans in the room if possible, no driving - because you and your growth are an extremely high priority

  • speak your truth, even when it feels hard, or you’re anxious about upsetting me (truly, my happiness is not dependent on some words you might say)

  • be willing to let go of the past, no matter how true or how painful it was

  • do the work, even when it seems tough

  • ask for support early and often, rather than floundering if you’re unsure or struggling - and recognise that sometimes, I may simply say “just do the work”

  • recognise that while your pain is real, it is not a good reason for self-criticism or judgement

  • speak and think respectfully, including to yourself, as much as you can

I will not

  • dwell with you in the place of “helpless victim” (but I also will not judge or shame you, if you find yourself there - rather, I’ll gently extricate you with the wealth of tools at my disposal)

  • entertain false and unhelpful narratives from your past, such as "I don't deserve good things" (and again, I will not judge the fact that those false narratives exist and may feel completely real in the moment)

You will not

  • seek to convince me that you are broken (and yes, I know sometimes it’s really tempting!)

  • judge yourself as “failure” when change takes longer than you like (if you have trouble with this one, ask me for help)

All of these 'rules' will be applied with as much compassion and clarity as I can muster.

If I think either of us is at risk of breaching them, I'll raise it for discussion so we can find a way forward together.

Section 2 - the business relationship

This section covers the formal business relationship between us, including important items such as confidentiality, intellectual property, payments, refund policy and more.

Please read carefully. By purchasing any coaching service or product from me, you agree to the following terms stated herein.

Any text in italics at the beginning of any section is a plain English clarification.

INTRODUCTION

Janette Dalgliesh (herein referred to as “Coach”) agrees to provide professional life coaching services to the best of her ability, through a combination of virtual 1:1 appointments and written communication via electronic means, including but not limited to email and private social media channels (herein referred to as “Program”). You (herein referred to as “Client”) agree to abide by all policies and procedures as outlined in this agreement as a condition of their participation in the Program.

DISCLAIMER

The ‘scope of practice’ - what you can expect from me, and what I don’t provide

The Coach is not an employee, agent, lawyer, doctor, manager, therapist, public relations or business manager, registered dietician, or financial analyst, psychotherapist or accountant. Client understands that Coach has not promised, shall not be obligated to and will not; (1) procure or attempt to procure employment or business or sales for Client; (2) perform any business management functions including but not limited to, accounting, tax or investment consulting, or advice with regard thereto; (3) act as a therapist providing psychoanalysis, diagnosis or prescription of any supplement or drug of any kind; (4) act as a public relations manager (5) act as a publicist to procure any publicity, interviews, write-ups, features, television, print or digital media exposure for Client; (6) introduce Client to Coach’s full network of contacts, media partners or business partners. Client understands that a paid relationship does not exist between the parties after the conclusion of this program. If the Parties continue their relationship, a separate agreement will be entered into.

FEES

The fee for the Coaching Program have the following options:

Three-month package - $3,000 payable in advance OR three monthly payments of $1,000USD each, payable in advance.

If for any reason Coach is offering a special discount/promotion for a limited time, then that replaces the above.

METHODS OF PAYMENT

The Program payment options are via PayPal (using a PayPal account or a credit card) or by credit card, using Stripe as the payment gateway.

All payments are to be made in USD.

REFUND POLICY

All refunds are discretionary as determined by Coach.

I can guarantee that I will do my best work at all times, but I do not offer a money-back guarantee.

I believe if you have participated fully in the coaching process, you will see significant and valuable results in terms of your growth and expansion.

In the event that you decide your purchase was not the right decision, or you need support with your payments, please let me know as soon as possible at janette@janettedalgliesh.com

RESCHEDULING POLICY

While refunds are generally not available, sessions can be rescheduled within reason.

Human brains sometimes resist change, and if it becomes clear that sessions are being rescheduled too often, that will be addressed as a coaching topic.

Rescheduling must be done at least 24 hours beforehand, except in the case of a genuine emergency. Taking a family member to hospital is an emergency. Failing to do your homework is not (and is also not a good reason to reschedule, because that in itself may be an excellent topic for coaching!)

To reschedule your session, use the “reschedule” button in the confirmation email for your appointment, or send an email to janette@janettedalgliesh.com

CONFIDENTIALITY

This section forms my Privacy Policy and is also available on my website at https://www.janettedalgliesh.com/privacy-policy
