Changing Tide Life Coaching LLC. Terms and Conditions
The relationship between a coach and client is Co-Creative, meaning that we are equals and both have an active role. I am not a therapist, counselor, or consultant. I am a trained coach using honed communication skills to support you as a detached thinking partner. Together we create more power for you to effect meaningful change and take dynamic actions towards your goals.
CLIENT ROLE
- Prior to each session, decide what you would like to take away from the session. This is called the “Client Agenda.”
- Please arrive to every session on time.
- Come to your session centered and ready to engage.
- Give me feedback in the moment about your coaching experience — what works, as well as what does not.
COACH’S ROLE

Often, it is the small moments that bring about BIG shifts. If I’m not on target, just tell me. I’m not attached to being right.
- At the end of the session, if you do not mention what actions you are ready to take, I will make a coach request. I ask clients to stretch themselves, deepen the work done in the sessions by writing, taking some action, resolving relationships or things that feel incomplete. You are free to negotiate, accept, or

- Be willing to change your beliefs and patterns if they do not serve you anymore.
