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. 
This Agreement sets out the entire arrangement between us, and since we know reading legal  documents is not the most fun, we’ve tried hard to make things as simple as possible. 
We’ve avoided using complicated legal terms or jargon as much as we can since we have no  desire to trick or confuse you, we simply want to ensure that we start out on the right foot with total  clarity on what is expected as we start work together on achieving your goals!
