Group Coaching Agreement

This agreement is intended to support a safe, respectful, and meaningful group coaching experience for all participants.

1. Purpose of Group Coaching

Group coaching through The Clearing is designed to support reflection, insight, and intentional movement during a period of transition or growth.

2. Nature of Coaching

I understand that coaching is a collaborative, non-clinical process. It is not therapy, counseling, medical care, or crisis support. I am responsible for my own decisions, actions, and wellbeing and acknowledge that I may choose to seek additional support outside of coaching as needed.

3. Confidentiality & Group Trust

Confidentiality is essential to the integrity of the group. I agree to keep personal stories, reflections, and identifying details shared by others in the group private. I will not share another participant’s experience outside the group without their explicit permission.

4. Participation & Group Norms

I agree to:

• Speak from my own experience

• Refrain from advice-giving or cross-talk unless explicitly invited

• Listen with curiosity and respect

• Honor my own boundaries, including the right to pass or remain silent at any time

5. Commitment & Attendance

Group coaching space is reserved in advance, and fees are non-refundable once the engagement begins. If you need to withdraw before the group starts and your space can be filled, you will receive a full refund. If unforeseen circumstances arise at any point, please reach out directly so we can discuss next steps.

Because this is a small, relational group, my presence matters. I will make a good-faith effort to attend all scheduled sessions and to arrive on time. If I need to miss a session, I will notify the facilitator in advance whenever possible.

6. Acknowledgment

By signing this agreement, I acknowledge that I have read and understood this agreement and agree to participate in the group coaching experience in alignment with these principles.
