6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

6.1 Overview. This Contract imposes special restrictions on how the Client and the Coach must handle confidential information. These obligations are explained in this section.

6.2 The Client's Confidential Information. While working for the Client, the Coach may come across, or be given, Client information that is confidential. This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. The Coach promises to treat this information as if it is the Coach's own confidential information. The Coach may use this information to do its job under this Contract, but not for anything else. For example, if the Client lets the Coach use a customer list to send out a newsletter, the Coach cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Client gives the Coach written permission to use the information for another purpose, the Coach may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Contract ends, the Coach must give back or destroy all confidential information, and confirm that it has done so. The Coach promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party, unless the Client gives the Coach written permission first. The Coach must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Contract ends. The Coach's responsibilities only stop if the Coach can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when the Coach came across it; (ii) the information became public after the Coach came across it, but not because of anything the Coach did or didn't do; (iii) the Coach already knew the information when the Coach came across it and the Coach didn't have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided the Coach with the information without requiring that the Coach keep it a secret; or (v) the Coach created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Client.

6.3 Third-Party Confidential Information. It's possible the Client and the Coach each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Client and the Coach each promise that it will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties, unless it is allowed to do so. If the Client or the Coach is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Neither party is liable for breach-of-contract damages that the breaching party could not reasonably have foreseen when it entered this Contract.

8. INDEMNITY.

8.1 Overview. This section transfers certain risks between the parties if a third party sues or goes after the Client or the Coach or both. For example, if the Client gets sued for something that the Coach did, then the Coach may promise to come to the Client's defense or to reimburse the Client for any losses.

8.2 Client Indemnity. In this Contract, the Coach agrees to indemnify the Client (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of: (i) the work the Coach has done under this Contract; (ii) a breach by the Coach of its obligations under this Contract; or (iii) a breach by the Coach of the promises it is making in Section 3 (Representations).

8.3 Coach Indemnity. In this Contract, the Client agrees to indemnify the Coach (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of a breach by the Client of its obligations under this Contract.

9. GENERAL.

9.1 Assignment​. This Contract applies only to the Client and the Coach. Neither the Client nor the Coach can assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Contract to a third-party (other than by will or intestate), without first receiving the other's written permission.

9.2 Arbitration. As the exclusive means of initiating adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising under this Contract, a party may demand that the dispute be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules.

9.3 Modification; Waiver. To change anything in this Contract, the Client and the Coach must agree to that change in writing and sign a document showing their contract. Neither party can waive its rights under this Contract or release the other party from its obligations under this Contract, unless the waiving party acknowledges it is doing so in writing and signs a document that says so.

9.4. Noticies.

(a) Over the course of this Contract, one party may need to send a notice to the other party. For the notice to be valid, it must be in writing and delivered in one of the following ways: personal delivery, email, or certified or registered mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested). The notice must be delivered to the party's address listed at the end of this Contract or to another address that the party has provided in writing as an appropriate address to receive notice.

(b) The timing of when a notice is received can be very important. To avoid confusion, a valid notice is considered received as follows: (i) if delivered personally, it is considered received immediately; (ii) if delivered by email, it is considered received upon acknowledgement of receipt; (iii) if delivered by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), it is considered received upon receipt as indicated by the date on the signed receipt. If a party refuses to accept notice or if notice cannot be delivered because of a change in address for which no notice was given, then it is considered received when the notice is rejected or unable to be delivered. If the notice is received after 5:00pm on a business day at the location specified in the address for that party, or on a day that is not a business day, then the notice is considered received at 9:00am on the next business day.

9.5 Severability. This section deals with what happens if a portion of the Contract is found to be unenforceable. If that's the case, the unenforceable portion will be changed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that change is not permitted by law, in which case the portion will be disregarded. If any portion of the Contract is changed or disregarded because it is unenforceable, the rest of the Contract is still enforceable.

9.6 Signatures. The Client and the Coach must sign this document using Bonsai's e-signing system. These electronic signatures count as originals for all purposes.

9.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this document shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America.

9.8 Entire Contract. This Contract represents the parties' final and complete understanding of this job and the subject matter discussed in this Contract. This Contract supersedes all other contracts (both written and oral) between the parties.

You take great pride in being a coach. You help clients see potential they didn't know they had, set and reach goals that once seemed impossible, and develop skills they never thought possible. You give them the tools and support they need to make lasting changes in their lives, businesses, and careers.

But how do you know if your coaching is truly effective? How can you be sure that you're making the impact you want to make and that your clients are getting the results they need?

A coaching feedback form helps you collect data about your client's experience with your coaching. It allows you to get the insights you need to continue honing your craft and making a difference in the lives of your clients.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll show you how to create a coaching feedback form that's both effective and easy to use. We'll cover everything from what questions to ask to how to distribute your form.

By the end of this guide, you'll have all the best coaching tools you need to create a feedback form that will help you deliver an even more impactful coaching experience for your clients.

How to create questions for a coaching feedback form

Think about the results you want to achieve from your coaching feedback form, and then craft questions that will help you get those results.

Your coaching feedback form should cover three main areas:

  • How your coaching has helped the client
  • What could be improved about your coaching
  • How likely the client is to recommend your coaching to others

When creating questions for your coaching feedback form, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind:

  • Your questions should be specific to the coaching engagement. This means that they should be relevant to the goals, objectives, and outcomes of your coaching program.
  • They should be designed to elicit actionable feedback. They need to focus on what you can do to improve your coaching, rather than on general satisfaction levels.
  • They should be open-ended. This will allow your clients to provide detailed responses that will give you the insights you need to make improvements.
  • They should be framed in a way that invites honest and open responses. This means avoiding leading or loaded questions. Questions like, "Who's the best life coach?" or "Wasn't my coaching just great?" are likely to result in biased responses.

The last thing you want is for your clients to dread filling out your feedback form. Keep your questions short, sweet, and to the point. 

This will make them more likely to take the time to fill out your forms and provide feedback.

Examples of coaching evaluation questions for clients

Here are a few examples of questions you could ask on your coaching feedback form:

  • What was the most helpful part of our coaching relationship?
  • What could I have done differently to make our coaching more effective for you?
  • On a scale of 0-100, how likely are you to recommend my coaching to a friend or colleague?
  • What was your biggest accomplishment as a result of our coaching?
  • What goals did we achieve together that you're the most proud of?
  • If you could change one thing about our coaching, what would it be?
  • What value did you get from our coaching that you didn't expect?
  • Did we meet you expectations? And if so, what skills or knowledge did you develop as a result of our coaching?
  • On a scale of 0-100, how satisfied are you with the results of our coaching?
  • In what ways has your life changed as a result of our coaching?

The above questions are just a starting point. Once you've collected some initial feedback, you can use it to fine-tune your questions and get even more specific about the areas you want to focus on.

How to distribute your coaching feedback form?

Once you've created your coaching feedback form, it's time to distribute it to your clients. There are a few different ways you can do this:

  • Email: You can simply attach the form to an email and send it off to your clients.
  • Survey software: If you want to get a little more sophisticated, you can use survey software like SurveyMonkey or Typeform to create and distribute your form. This can be a good option if you want to collect responses electronically.
  • In-person: If you prefer to collect feedback in person, you can simply print out copies of your coaching feedback form and give them to your clients at the end of your coaching program.

Whichever method you choose, be sure to include clear instructions on how and when to fill out the form. You may also want to provide a deadline for submission.

That said, when should you send out your coaching feedback form?

One option is to distribute your form at the end of each coaching session. This is a great way to collect feedback in real-time and make sure that your clients are filling out the form when they're fresh off from their coaching experience.

You could also send out your form periodically, such as at the end of each month or after every few coaching sessions. This allows you to check in with your clients, track their progress, and get their feedback on an ongoing basis.

Another option is to wait until the end of the coaching program. This gives your clients and students more time to evaluate and reflect on their experience before filling out the form.

Ultimately, there's no right or wrong answer here. It's up to you to decide what makes the most sense for your business and your clients.

What to do with the feedback you collect

Once you've collected your coaching feedback, take some time to review the responses and see what areas need improvement.

If you're not sure where to start, here are a few suggestions:

  • Identify patterns: Are there certain areas that are coming up again and again? If so, those are the areas you should focus on first.
  • Highlight positive feedback: In addition to looking for areas of improvement, take some time to highlight the positive feedback you received. This will help you identify what's working well and what you should continue doing in the future.
  • Create a plan of action: Create a plan of action for addressing the areas that need improvement.
  • This could involve making changes to your coaching program, revising your coaching feedback form, incorporating new coaching tools, adding other experienced coaches to your program, or anything else that you think would be helpful.
