Modern Leadership Monthly Coaching Agreement & Terms

By enrolling in the monthly leadership coaching programme with Modern Leadership you (the "Client") acknowledge and agree to the following terms:

1. Purpose of Coaching

The leadership coaching programme is a collaborative process between the Client and Coach, designed to support the Client in developing their leadership skills, creating new behaviours, and achieving meaningful outcomes in their role and team.

  • Coaching focuses on practical application and measurable results in leadership and team performance.

  • The coaching agenda is developed in partnership between Client and Coach.

  • Coaching is not therapy, counselling, or legal/financial consulting.

2. Client & Coach Commitments

  • Both Client and Coach agree to fully engage in the coaching process.

  • The programme includes one coaching session per calendar month, to be scheduled by mutual agreement between Client and Coach.

  • Sessions may take place in person or via video call (as agreed).

  • Both parties commit to starting and ending sessions on time.

  • Rescheduling requests must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled session; sessions cancelled with less notice, or missed without notice, may be forfeited for that month.

  • The Client understands that leadership growth and behavioural change take time, and progress may vary depending on commitment and application.

3. Confidentiality

  • All conversations and information between the Client and Coach are private and confidential, as allowable by law.

  • No personal or business information will be shared without the Client's express permission.

  • Exceptions apply if there is an imminent threat of serious harm to self or others, or as otherwise required by law.

4. Coaching Commitment, Billing & Fees

  • The coaching programme is billed as a recurring monthly fee, charged after the session for the current month (the "Billing Date").

  • The programme requires a minimum initial commitment of three (3) months from the Client's enrolment date (the "Minimum Term").

  • After the Minimum Term, the programme continues on a month-to-month basis until cancelled in accordance with this Agreement.

  • To cancel or pause the monthly coaching after the minimum term, the Client must provide at least thirty (7) days' written notice before the next Billing Date. Notice given with less than 7 days will result in one further month being charged and delivered.

  • The first month's fee is payable within 7 days of submitting the enrolment form, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Subsequent monthly fees are payable on each Billing Date.

  • Payments may be made by bank transfer, credit card, or other agreed methods.

  • If a payment fails or is late, Modern Leadership may suspend sessions until payment is received.

5. Release of Liability

  • Leadership coaching provides tools, frameworks, and guidance to improve leadership skills, team performance, and workplace outcomes.

  • Coaching is not professional advice in areas such as medical, psychological, legal, or financial matters.

  • The Client accepts full responsibility for all decisions and actions taken as a result of coaching.

  • Modern Leadership and its coaches are not liable for any actions, consequences, or outcomes resulting from coaching sessions.

  • Any external resources provided (books, articles, tools, websites) are for reference only and do not imply endorsement.

6. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by, and is to be construed in accordance with, the laws of New Zealand. Any disputes arising from this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand.

7. Agreement

By enrolling in this programme and/or making the first payment, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms & Conditions of Monthly Leadership Coaching with Modern Leadership.
