Description of Coaching: Coaching is a partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize personal, relational, and professional potential.

As such, the Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach.

D. Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of his or her life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation.

E. Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association and that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other professional advice by legal, medical, financial, or other qualified professionals and that it is the Client’s exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed. If Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that the Client promptly inform the mental health care provider of the nature and extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon by the Client and the Coach.

Results and outcomes will vary by topic and client. The goal of Cleared for Takeoff is to provide a roadmap for the Client to design a fulfilling travel experience through Coach-guided self-introspection and goal-setting and directing Client through a trip-planning process, partnering together to break down the steps necessary to plan a vacation, and do so with less overwhelm. Coach gives no guarantee that perfect solutions exist for all conflicts discovered in the process, however, Coach will endeavor to provide Client the best possible options to facilitate Client decision-making.
Following each coaching session, Coach will provide a Solutions Packet, which includes a follow up email with a summary of the coaching session, any relevant homework, and a link to the recording, (if Client chooses to meet virtually and agrees to recording). Additionally, Coach will provide a resource bundle of 16 relevant digital travel resources to Client, including guides, tip sheets, checklists, worksheets, and other helpful resources.
