What is
coaching?
Terms and Conditions
Coaching’ is a process that takes place when a client and
coach enter into a partnership for the benefit of the client desire for
personal development. A ‘Coach’ is the person engaged to support a client by
appointment for personal development and growth using agreed techniques and
goal setting. A ‘Client’ is the person who makes a choice to develop, grow and
achieve goals by engaging a coach to support them through the process. ‘JBY ~
Coaching’ (‘personal coaching’) means the partnership between the coach and the
client in an agreement to conduct coaching sessions in person or over the
telephone at agreed times and over an agreed time frame. Coaching sessions’ are
the agreed appointmented periods of time during which the coaching process
takes place.
Coaching Sessions

telephone at mutually agreed times and places during an agreed time frame. Both
client and coach will be expected to be on time for all sessions.
