Coaching Agreement Template
Free Word template for business, life, and executive coaches.
A coaching agreement protects both you and your client by setting clear expectations upfront: session cadence, cancellation policy, and importantly, a "no guarantee of results" clause, since coaching outcomes depend heavily on client action, not just the coaching itself.
This template covers session structure, fees and payment, rescheduling policy, confidentiality, and a clear statement that coaching is not therapy, medical advice, or financial advice unless you are separately licensed to provide those.

Questions
Why does this include a "no guarantee of results" clause?
Coaching outcomes depend on both the coach and the client's actions, so promising specific results can create legal and ethical issues. This clause sets realistic expectations from the start.
Does this cover group coaching?
This template is written for one-on-one coaching. Group programs typically need additional clauses around group conduct and confidentiality among participants.
Can I add my own cancellation policy?
Yes, the template includes a placeholder cancellation window (commonly 24 hours), but edit it to match whatever policy you actually enforce.
Keep every client document in one place.
startbuddi keeps your documents next to the client, the project and the invoice, so nothing lives in a stray folder.
