Envision Coach Training does not refund or replace group mentor coaching sessions in any of the following scenarios:

• If a participant is a ‘no show’ for any reason.
• If a participant tries to join 1 or more minutes after the scheduled session time and is ‘locked out’ of the session.
• If a participant has lost their registration confirmation email and does not have the session link.
• If a participant has technical issues and is unable to hear or see, be seen or heard in, the session, or is dropped from the session.
• If a participant’s background is noisy or distracting. We reserve the right to determine if this warrants cancelling attendance.

One-to-One Mentor Coaching
Time Slots
When we offer appointment days/times we may also offer those times to other participants or clients. While we do our best to work around participant’s schedules, we cannot hold slots open indefinitely and it is a ‘first to respond, first booked in’ system. The participant’s prompt reply for confirmation of chosen day/time will better guarantee getting it.
Connection Requirements
All one-to-one sessions are provided via an online platform that requires good Internet connection if the participant is using computer, or land line if they are going to call in.
Environment
We require that participants join from a quiet space when attending the sessions (i.e. no public spaces or noisy environments). If a participant’s background is noisy or distracting, we reserve the right to cancel their session.
Cancellations
Envision Coach Training has a 24-hour cancellation policy on all one-to-one sessions. If there is a cancellation within 24 hours of the scheduled time or a no-show at the time, we do not reschedule that purchased time or reimburse payment.

Keeping Time
The participant’s recorded coaching sessions must be approximately 30 minutes long. We do not accept recordings that are less than 27 minutes and more than 33 minutes, with no exceptions.
What to Record
Recorded coaching sessions must be entire sessions. Edited or partial sessions will not be accepted.

Responsibility for Decisions
Our commitment is to create a safe, learning environment for our mentees to grow as coaches. We ask you to be as open and honest as you can be about your needs so that we can best support you. We will be unconditionally constructive within the parameters of our agreement. This is all about you succeeding.
We are deeply committed to providing support and professional assistance in achieving and demonstrating the levels of coaching competency demanded for the credential level you seek through ICF. We bring all our skill, experience, and knowledge to the sessions. At the same time, the final decision about acting on this counsel and the responsibility for results achieved is entirely your own. We assume no responsibility for your business decisions or for policies, skills, or practices that you actually implement, and therefore make no guarantee that as a result of our mentoring you will obtain the credential level you are seeking.
Confidentiality
Envision Coach Training is meant to be a safe space to learn and grow in, with full understanding that the information shared with us, and between or about fellow students, is required to be held as confidential at all times.
