One on One Coaching Agreement

I have a series of agreements that are designed to help us work together harmoniously and get the most out of the coaching experience.  Here they are:   

  1. Be coachable:
    1. In order to generate big improvements in your music, you must be up for making significant changes in your workflow, approach and attitude. Being coachable means being open, ready and willing to listen and take on the suggestions I make, and occasionally some “tough love”. It's all for your benefit. I carefully hand-pick my Accelerate students, and I only choose to invest my limited time and energy in those that really, deeply want to improve and are ready to embrace the necessary shifts.
  2. We start on time and we end on time:
    1. I will respect your time by being ready for our session before it starts and I expect the same. If you are late, or no show for a session with no prior communication, there will be a $75 rebooking fee. If you are late or no show for 2 sessions, I reserve the right to cancel our coaching relationship.
    2. If you need to reschedule a session 48 hrs notice minimum is required and you are allowed to reschedule once.
  3. I am not here to be your friend or to be nice. I am here to be your coach and to get results.
    1. If you are looking for someone to tell you what you want to hear and to be complacent with you, I am not the coach for you. I am here to create radical change and improvement in your music, and sometimes that requires “tough love”. I hold myself accountable for your results, and that may require stepping outside your comfort zone.
  4. Respect our communication guidelines (listed below).
  5. Create an environment conducive to learning and focus:
    1. For our session do your best to eliminate background noise and distractions.
    2. No cell phones. Turn your phone off (not just on vibrate) or leave it in another room.
    3. Close Facebook and other social networking sites.
    4. Do whatever else you need to do to be able to concentrate and focus.
  6. No note taking:
    1. You may be tempted to take notes. This is very distracting for you and is not necessary. The session will be recorded and made available for download for you. Trying to take notes while paying attention to what I'm teaching you will only detract from your ability to learn. You can take as many notes as you want when you watch the recording later.
  7. All materials are licensed to you and you alone:
    1. During our sessions I'll be sharing techniques, processes, documents, templates, samples, patches, presets, video recordings and other tools and resources.  These are for you and you alone.  You are not to share them, post them online, seed them on torrent or file sharing sites, or in any other way distribute these items.  You are to take all reasonable precautions to prevent the theft, duplication, and sharing of these items.

Communication Guidelines:

Thanks for working with me on this.  By following these guidelines, I can get back you faster and focus more energy on your training.
