The Coaching Way: Program Terms & Conditions (“Terms of Purchase”)

This Agreement sets for the terms of purchase for your purchase of The Coaching Way by Tara Mohr, LLC.

By placing your Order with Tara Mohr, LLC (the “Company”), by clicking “accept,” or by using the Services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement.

The Services. The Coaching Way is a training program designed to equip you with a working understanding of Tara Mohr’s coaching tools and concepts. It is not a certification or licensing program. We want to provide you with the maximum freedom to use basic coaching tools, without having to constrain your application of them in the way that a certification or licensing program would require.

The program content will be delivered as follows: via email, online through the program website, via video conferences, audio tracks (recordings of video sessions), workbook or worksheets, self-study program materials, and through such other avenues or delivery methods as we see fit in the course of conducting the program. You will use a unique username and password that should only be used by you to access the Content. Sharing login information, call-in numbers, passwords, and protected links with non-members is prohibited and will result in removal from the program.

Payment. Payment is required before beginning the program, as indicated on your Order form, and may be a one-time fee, or a monthly or other recurring fee, as indicated. In the event it is a monthly or recurring fee, you understand that this is not a monthly membership or subscription fee, but rather installment payments on the total amount due, subject to the refund policy below (first 14 days of the program). In the event an installment payment cannot be processed, an email will be sent to the address provided to inform you and give you the opportunity to make a payment. Alternate arrangements for payment may be made, at the discretion of the Company. Failure to make an installment payment will result in suspension or termination of the Services prior to the end of the applicable term, and your access to the Program materials or ongoing Services will be discontinued.

The Company is not responsible for any overdraft charges, over limit charges, or NSF fees charged by your bank or credit card company.

The Company does not guarantee any specific results from use of the Services. The Company does not make any representations or warranties as to specific outcomes or results.

Refund Policy. If within the first 14 days of the program, you find the program isn’t working for you, and you have submitted to the Playing Big team your completed worksheets from the course to date, you may request a cancellation of your membership and receive a refund. After the first 14 days of the program, refunds are no longer available.

Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Agreement. You are free to speak, write and share about your own experiences from The Coaching Way, but keep all information shared by others confidential.

Communications. The Coaching Way community is intended to be a supportive, respectful and positive community. Communicating disrespectfully to other members or to the Playing Big staff constitutes grounds for removal from the program, which decision shall be in the sole discretion of the Playing Big team.

Intellectual Property & Use of Materials. All materials provided to you as part of your Program or Services which are the subject of this Agreement are proprietary and may not be duplicated, copied, re-used, reproduced, published, or displayed in any form without the prior express written permission of the Company. All trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on any materials provided are protected by US and International copyright and Intellectual Property laws. Access to any materials or content online or otherwise as part of the Program or Services subject to this Agreement should not be construed as granting any license or right to duplicate said content.

As a member of The Coaching Way, your participation entitles you to have access to the training program website, curriculum, and community network, and to download the program materials so that you can access them permanently on your own computer.

You are free to use The Coaching Way model, tools, concepts, exercises and practices that you learn from the training with the clients or customers you support in your coaching, therapeutic, mentoring or other work. As with any kind of learning you have done, you are free to credit Tara Mohr/The Coaching Way informally in one-on-one settings when you feel it is appropriate to do so and where you are not bound by professional duties that may otherwise restrict you from using certain of the tools presented in the The Coaching Way programs. (For example, in certain therapy work, it may not be appropriate to reference the tools or the source during use, whereas with group coaching or workshops, for example, it would be appropriate to credit Tara Mohr and The Coaching Way for the tools and concepts you incorporate into your work.)

The Playing Big book and The Coaching Way materials are subject to copyright law, and in accordance with the language above, cannot be replicated or repurposed. If you wish to use Playing Big written materials with your clients, please find the appropriate material from the Playing Big book (excerpted writings, journaling prompts, and so on), and have participants of your groups/workshops obtain copies of the book, so as not to violate these terms of use, and US copyright law.

Completion of the Program & Restrictions. If you would like to state that you have “completed The Coaching Way with Tara Mohr” at the close of the program, you will be required to 1) confirm that you have participated in all modules and 2) successfully complete a written assessment to demonstrate your learnings. Following these two steps, you are free and encouraged to share that you have completed the program.

However, you are not authorized to teach Playing Big branded/entitled workshops, or do Playing Big branded coaching, or teach The Coaching Way branded/entitled workshops, as the program is not a licensing or certification program, and we do not want to constrain what and how participants share the work, nor hold it to a single standard. Our intention is that each participant incorporate this toolkit in her own unique offerings.

Completion of the Program to earn International Coach Federation Continuing Coach Education Units. This training is accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF) for up to 20 Continuing Coach Education (CCE) units – 18 in Core Competencies and 2 in Resource Development.

At the close of the program, if you would like to receive certification for these CCE units, you’ll simply:

1. Confirm that you’ve attended live, or watched the recording, of at least 9 Guided Workshop Calls (these are the first hour of teaching for each module call) and that you have completed the Reflections & Journaling homework assignments for those modules.
2. Confirm that you’ve completed at least 8 Practice Sessions. We highly recommend that you attend the live Practice Sessions as they occur or, if you’re unable to attend, create your own practice time with another participant of the course. If neither of those are possible, you may use the Practice Session Agenda to practice with a current client or a person in your life who would like coaching.
3. Successfully complete the final written assessment to demonstrate your learnings.

You will then be provided with a letter documenting your completion of the program that you can use toward the renewal requirements of an International Coach Federation (ICF) credential.
