The Lovely Grind Coaching Policies & Disclaimer/Waiver

 

 

Coaching Policies

  • At least 24-hour notice is required for all session changes/reschedules.
  • One-on-one coaching consists of the time spent together in sessions and the related follow-up notes sent after sessions. I don’t mind an occasional pertinent follow-up email between sessions, but please limit this to 1 between talks (except for scheduling purposes).
  • Please commit to having a positive attitude and one that is determined to put in the effort to move yourself forward in healing and growth. I know this is much easier some days than others, but it is always helpful.
  • Membership in Support & Success, The Healing Mindset, and Motivation for Healing grants members certain access to me via interactive commenting and the “inbox” submission form. These channels of communication are not meant to be abused or used as a substitute for coaching where 1-on-1 time would be appropriate. Abuse of these communication channels could result in a termination of membership/registration.
  • Be open to suggestions and feedback, as this is a part of any useful counseling/coaching.
  • The coaching, student or membership relationship can be terminated at any time for behavior that violates the policies/agreements listed on this page.
  • In the rare event that a coaching, student, or membership relationship is terminated for violating the terms of this agreement, it is understood that the decision was for mutual benefit and you agree not to slander me (Michael Priebe) or The Lovely Grind.
  • Be very hopeful. You are taking steps in the right direction and your efforts combined with time can bring great improvements to your situation!
