BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few useful answers.
Is this the same as the SaaS membership?
No. This is human coaching delivered by contracted coaches. Software access or credits are included only when expressly stated in your written offer. Your private software journal is not automatically shared with a coach.
Can I book and pay today?
Program review requests are available. Live payments, coach calendars, meeting links and reminders still need verification. You will not be charged through this request form.
Who delivers the coaching?
Delivery is intended for contracted coaches. Doug handles sales and oversight. A named, available coach must be confirmed before enrollment.
What are the cancellation and refund terms?
Customer service, cancellation and refund terms are awaiting approval. The final terms must be provided and accepted with your individual offer before payment. No paid booking is created by submitting a request.
Does coaching guarantee income or a safe transition?
No. Coaching supports decisions and practical experiments; it does not guarantee income or authorize a resignation. Independent financial, legal, clinical, tax, benefits, and acquisition advice may be needed.
