The coaching contract as a symbol and guarantee
Before signing any contract, Actus Via proposes to anyone interested, either individual or company, a first experimental two hours coaching session (step 1). That will help to facilitate the coach and potential customer’s decision making process (step 2). In case of both customer and coach interests, the chosen coach will send a written contract proposal. Therefore, the customer’s signed contract will mark the beginning of the coaching mission (step 3).
Step 1 – EXPERIMENTATION WITH ONE OF THE REFERENT COACH OF ACTUS VIA – Before signing any contract :
Our relationship with the client is based on mutual trust. Thus, Actus Via offers an experimental coaching session to start, paid according to moral agreement between two parties, coach and customer. This first session lasts 2 hours and during this time:
–The client and the coach will get to know each other better in a professional level.
–The client is going to identify and organize his/her priorities, and define his/her main goal. At this point, some complementary goals can be defined as well.
–The client and the coach are going to verify if both believe their expectations can be met in further sessions.
The purpose is to identify the needs of potential customers and to ensure that the coach intervention serves the interest of the client before starting a collaboration.
Step 2 – DECISION OF COLLABORATION WITH THE REFERENT COACH OF ACTUS VIA OR ONE OF OUR PARTNER COACH – Decision from potential customer and coach :
After that first two hours discovery coaching session, the referent coach of Actus Via may consider:
– Another partner coach might be more useful for the potential customer. In this case, the referent coach will facilitate contacts to this professional. After a first contact between the client and the partner coach, if both parties want to work together, the partner coach of Actus Via can propose a mission coaching contract (or convention as the vocabulary of each professional) through its separate legal entity (via his/her name or company), different from Actus Via’s one.
– His intervention might be suitable to the potential customer. In this case the referent coach will offer a written proposal contract with the offer it considers most appropriate, according to personal and/or professional customer challenges. The potential client is free to accept this proposal. We remind you here the characteristics of Actus Via’s offer:
1º) Individual coaching for individuals
2º) Group coaching for individuals: outdoor seminars
3º) Individual or Group coaching for individuals in a natural setting
4º) Individual coaching for companies and enterprises
5º) Group coaching – team building for companies and enterprises
