Contract arrangements
Time - basis. The contract is established on the basis of a number of sessions. A typical session for a senior manager / leader would be scheduled for two to three hours. An initial contract would be for 6 sessions over a 3 to 4 month period, possibly with the first sessions at fortnightly intervals, to build the coaching relationship and momentum, and then becoming a monthly event.
Retained - basis. The contract is established over a fixed period, with a fee agreed for the whole contract. Coaching sessions are then booked as and when needed. This could be for an individual manager / leader or individuals in a team.

Contracts and Invoices:
These are negotiated with and raised by Learning Pathways Cymru Ltd.
Putting the contract in place:
• An initial contracting conversation with the organisation, identifying expectations, clarifying the process, evaluation and cost
• An initial conversation with the manager / leader or team to be coached, where we elicit their objectives and identify any key requirements in a coach
• We offer 2 – 3 potential coaches for the manager to make a choice
• We review after their first session to check suitability
• We follow up with both coachee and coach to ensure appropriate evaluation takes place
Agreeing the basis for evaluation:
As part of our contract with you, and with the manager / leader or team to be coached, we will agree with you the basis of evaluation of the contribution made to your organisation by our service, whilst respecting the confidentiality

of the coaching conversations. The evaluation is conducted typically at both the midpoint and the end of the coaching process.

Fees:
Fees are calculated on a day rate.

The use of a “day” can be flexible: it could for instance be:

• 2 separate coaching sessions with 1 manager / leader with in between diarised telephone support;
• 1 day on an organisation’s premises when 3 managers / leaders have individual coaching on that day;
• observation of coachee in action (e.g. in a team meeting) in order that “live data” can be used during coaching conversations
• 1 day facilitating a Team Away Day;
• 1 day of preparation prior to a “Team Away Day”.

Any additional costs, arising from an organisation’s or individual’s needs, would be negotiated as part of a “mid term” contract adjustment
