Do I need this Group Coaching Agreement for my clients?

Heck yes. If you run your group coaching without a contract – you’re exposed. If something goes wrong, you have no fallback. Is that how you want to do business?

A contract protects both you and your clients.

It’s not about big legal words and getting the upper hand. It’s relationship insurance. A legally binding contract does the boring legal leg work, manages expectations, and provides certainty. That way, you can focus on what you want to achieve in your business.

Make sure your contract does the hard work for you.

Success Disclaimer

A Success Disclaimer is an essential clause for your Group Coaching Agreement. Luckily, it’s in our template already!

It basically states that clients are responsible for the outcomes of the coaching journey, and success will depend on how they implement the advice and guidance of the coach.

After all, they are responsible for “doing the work” and taking action in order to achieve the goals you set together in your sessions.

What kind of coaching does this template cover?

Our Group Coaching Agreement template is written specifically for group coaching and workshops (face-to-face or virtual).

Difference between 1:1 coaching and group coaching

In one-to-one coaching, the coach works directly with an individual on their goals and transformation.

In group coaching, the coach works in a one to many model by delivering a program or workshops that allows them to work with more than one person at the same time.
