SCHEDULING
As your Coach, I understand that my clients have busy schedules and I take pride in not keeping you waiting or keeping you longer than planned. Each session will end 120 minutes after it was scheduled to begin. Please be on time. Because these are group calls, if the Client cannot make a call, the client will forfeit the appointment. Rescheduling of calls must be agreed to by the entire group and must be rescheduled at least 24 hours in advance.
