Group Coaching Agreement
Introduction
Hey dance boss it’s Deborah of Dance Business Lab here, and I’m so excited that you’ve committed to taking this next step in your business by investing in this Coaching Programme – I’m really looking forward to working with you!
To ensure our working relationship starts in the right way I’d like to provide you with some information so you can clearly understand what this Coaching Programme involves, how it will be delivered, what I expect from you, and lastly, what you can expect from me, and that’s what I hope to achieve within this Agreement.
