• BENEFITS OF COACHING

    1. Enhance Self-Awareness

    Through various assessments and reflective exercises, you’ll gain insights into your strengths, values, and challenges. Developing self-awareness allows us to align our actions and decisions with our authentic self, which leads to more effective relationships.

    2. Improve Relationship Intelligence (RQ)

    Expanding our understanding of how the brain works and how emotions impact behavior empowers us to self-regulate. By learning techniques to regulate and manage emotions, we can enhance emotional intelligence, and cultivate improved interpersonal relationships.

    3. Refine Decision-Making Skills

    By understanding how our brain processes information, we can overcome cognitive limitations and make more rational, strategic choices. This helps us navigate complex situations and make better decisions that align with our values and goals.

    4. Grow Well-Being and Resilience

    The ThirtySpoke approach focuses on overall well-being for work-life balance. This enables us to better handle challenges, maintain focus, and move forward with a positive mindset.

    5. Iterate to High Performance

    When we understand the neuroscience behind why we do what we do, we discover our motives and intents and can take proactive steps for success.

    THIRTYSPOKE BIG PICTURE

    The better we consistently choose positive choices for a holistic approach to living that add up over time, then the better our chances of experiencing sustainable balance and harmony in our wheel of relationships in life.

    Coaches champion this ongoing process. In the end, our bodies and minds hold us accountable for our choices.

    Ronda Dorsey, M.Ed, B.S., B.A., is a Coach developing accreditation with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). 

    Anyone can call themselves a coach. ICF-credentialed coaches are professional coaches who have met stringent education and experience requirements, and have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the coaching competencies that set the standard in the profession. In addition, ICF-credentialed coaches adhere to strict ethical guidelines as part of ICF’s mission to protect and serve coaching consumers. 

    In this spirit, Ronda has completed 60 hours of classroom training with the ICF-accredited BrainFirst Training Institute. This brain-based, solution-focused, and client-centered coursework’s focus is backed by neuroscience research and evidence aligned with ICF’s 8 Core Competencies. This approach can be applied across a range of different fields including wellness, health and fitness, high-performance, leadership, personal development, business, and many others. 

    Description of Coaching 

    Coaching is a partnership between the Coach and Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires maximizing personal and professional potential.

    Although it is not a legally binding relationship, coaching is designed to facilitate the creation and development of personal and / or professional goals; and to develop and carry out a strategy and action plan for achieving those goals with accountability in mind.

    Coach-Client Relationship 

    A. The Coach agrees to maintain the ICF’s ethics and standards of behavior. 

    B. The Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing their own physical, mental, and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions, and results arising from the coaching relationship with the Coach. The Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach. 

    C. The Client further acknowledges that they may terminate or discontinue the coaching relationship at any time. 

    D. The Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of their life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education, and recreation. The Client agrees that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporating coaching principles into those areas, and implementing choices is exclusively the Client’s responsibility. 

    E. The Client acknowledges coaching is not a replacement or substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other professional advice by legal, medical, or other qualified professionals.

    The Client understands it is their exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed.

    The Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association.

    If the Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that the Client promptly inform the mental health care provider of the nature and extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon by the Client and the Coach.

    Coaching is not intended to prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease. Please contact your medical, therapy, or counseling provider(s) for these services. 

    F. The Client understands that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, they agree to: communicate honestly; maintain an openness to feedback; and create the time, energy, and space to participate fully in the program. 

    Coaching Services

    The Client and Coach agree to engage in an agreed upon coaching program to be determined in the intake session, including the following: 

    • Number of coaching sessions 

    • Time and dates for coaching sessions

    • Preferred meeting space (in-person, online, phone, etc.). 

    • Cost for each session

    • Commitment to coaching session 

    Sessions may be recorded with client permission for Ronda to:

    • Engage in self-study, reflection, and self-assessment of coaching progress; 

    • Provide evidence to Ronda’s ICF Mentor(s) that she is progressing toward accreditation; and 3. reference in building the Client-Coach relationship overtime.

    Confidentiality 

    This coaching relationship the Client shares with the Coach is bound by the principles of confidentiality set forth in the ICF Code of Ethics. 

    Unlike the medical and legal professions, all information (documented or verbal, including recorded sessions) from the coaching relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship and thus communications are not subject to the protection of any legally recognized privilege. 

    The Coach and ICF Mentor(s) agree not to disclose any information pertaining to the Client without the Client’s written consent. The Coach will not disclose the Client’s personal identifiable information to anyone without the Client’s consent. 

    ICF Code of Ethics

    According to the ethics of our profession, topics may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with other coaching professionals for training, supervision, mentoring, evaluation, and for coach professional development and/or consultation purposes. 

    Termination 

    Either the Client or the Coach may terminate this Agreement at any time with 24 hours of email / text notice.

    Limited Liability 

    Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Coach makes no guarantees, representations, or warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied with respect to the coaching services negotiated, agreed upon, and rendered. In no event shall the Coach be liable to the Client for any indirect, consequential or special damages. Notwithstanding any damages that the Client may incur, the Coach’s entire liability under this Agreement, and the Client’s exclusive remedy, shall be limited to the amount actually paid by the Client to the Coach under this Agreement for all coaching services rendered through and including the termination date. 

    Entire Agreement 

    This text reflects the entire agreement between the Coach and the Client, and reflects a complete understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter.

    This Agreement supersedes all prior written and oral representations.

    The Agreement may not be amended, altered or supplemented except in writing signed by both the Coach and the Client. 

    Applicable Law

    This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws provisions.
