I am looking forward to welcoming you to the IGNITE community and learning program. The purpose of this Membership Agreement ("Agreement") is to provide the context for our work together during the IGNITE program (in the section "Our Agreement") and to set forth the terms and conditions (in the section "Terms and Conditions") so that we both are clear on our respective roles, how communication will take place and the terms and logistics of the membership program so that our time will be positive and productive.  

This Agreement is being made between Sundae Schneider-Bean LLC ("Coach") and the individual who purchased the membership ("Client").  We both agree to the following:

FOR PREMIUM PASS MEMBERS: OUR COACHING AGREEMENT

I (the Client) am committed to creating a coaching alliance with Sundae Schneider-Bean (the Coach) that will support me as I clarify and realize my goals. I understand that coaching is not therapy, counselling or consulting; rather it is an alliance designed to forward and enhance the learning process. Coaching, specifically, involves the end goal of addressing one's specific challenges and developing coaching, communication, business and intercultural competencies. Throughout the coaching process, I understand that I may have to re-examine what I do and how I do it so I can maximize my professional and personal success.

I want to work with the Coach to best meet my needs by:

• Co-designing strategies that will support me
• Refining and changing when a strategy doesn't fit for me
• Learning about my cultural preferences and tendencies
• Exploring what motivates me
• Identifying ways in which I am limiting myself

I give the Coach permission to:

• Ask challenging questions
• Share her perceptions
• Request that I take action
• Check-in on my progress

I agree to:

• Come prepared for each session
• Speak openly about any blocks, challenges, action items, needs or other aspects of the Program promptly if concern arises so that we can address it.
• Commit to taking action and implement the steps identified in our sessions
• Speak directly and promptly to the coach if I am not satisfied with the process
• Engage in the group to support the community "live"
• Adhere to the Terms and Conditions (below)

A WORD FROM YOUR COACH

The Importance of "Fieldwork"

Clients often hear me say, "The real work takes place between coaching sessions." In other words, the more you put into the program, the more you will get out of it. Your experimentation "in the field" is a key driver of your progress. That is where "real life" happens and new approaches can be tested. I work on the basis that you are the expert of your life. As a coach, I will provide a professional context in which you can explore alternative perspectives as well as get closer to your goals. 

SCHEDULING

IGNITE is a community, so a minimum of 12 participants is required for a Q1 2022 start. We will be in contact with you with specific start dates or should this start date be postponed.

Membership requires a 6-month commitment. Why? Because making sustainable changes and building community takes time. 

At the time of this agreement, Live Training is planned to take place the first Tuesday of every month. The timing may vary but global time differences will be considered in the schedule. The live training is currently reserved for Tuesdays at 3:30 pm SAST. 

Premium Pass group coaching calls are currently planned for the third Thursday of every month. Like live training, the chosen timing will take into account global time differences. The group coaching is currently reserved for 4-5 pm SAST. Any exceptions will be communicated via email. A calendar reconfirming dates will be sent at the start of the program.

The 90-minute strategy session for Premium Pass members will be booked individually and can be held in one 90-minute session or two 45-minute sessions. The Strategy Session must be completed during the six-month program window. 

INVESTMENT AND PAYMENT

Payment:  There are two membership levels:

Monthly Pass 

• 87 CHF / month

Premium Pass 

• 267 CHF /month 
• Special one-time payment pricing of 1447 CHF is available.

7.7% VAT applies to all fees. Premium Pass is valid with six confirmed members. 

Authorization and Receipt:  By accepting the Agreement, you agree to promptly pay the automatic invoices. 

Missed Payment:  In the event that payment is not received by the date due, whether paid in full or by monthly installment, you will receive a reminder by e-mail and will have 24 hours to make the payment, after which your upcoming sessions will be forfeited and access to the Program materials restricted until payment is made. If any payment is not received 14 days after its due date, this Agreement will terminate automatically: You will forfeit all upcoming Premium Pass Group Coaching or Strategy Sessions and will no longer have access to the Program materials, and amounts you have paid up to that date will not be refunded. 

Refunds:  We want you to be happy with the Program. Keeping in regular contact about your progress and concerns is one important way to do that. However, because we will have invested considerable time and effort in the Program, if you stop participating or decide to terminate your participation at any time for any reason whatsoever, you still will remain fully responsible for the full cost of the six-month commitment, and no refund will be provided.
