THE LONELY DIPLOMAT

1-on-1 MENTORING

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ENGAGEMENT

 

Prioritise this call

• By using this 1-on-1 mentoring service, you agree that you will prioritise the mentoring call highly. To the extent possible, both parties will arrive for the call ready to engage and participate.

 

Cancellations, postponement or changing times

• Despite best intentions, life happens and sometimes one, or both, parties will need to cancel, postpone or otherwise alter the call time.

• When this happens, both parties agree to provide as much notice as possible.

• Cancelled mentoring calls will not be refunded but every reasonable effort will be made to find an agreed alternative date/time for the mentoring call.

 

No-shows

• A no-show is when you do not turn up for the call and you have not given prior notice.

• I understand that the idea of these calls can be daunting. We can never underestimate the courage it takes to reach out for help with loneliness.

• A no-show is disrespectful of my time and the preparation I make for each call. It’s also disrespecting your self and the part of you that reached out to arrange the 1-on-1 mentoring call.

• I wait 10 minutes from the start of the call time before ending the call if you aren't there. No refunds will be provided.

 

Communications

• Mentoring calls use Zoom. Other platforms may be used, but only by mutual agreement.

• If applicable, communications can happen via email or an agreed messaging service (like WhatsApp, Signal) in between calls.

 

Confidentiality and commitment to the process

• Everything shared during the period of engagement is CONFIDENTIAL & FREE OF JUDGEMENT and by signing you are acknowledging and agreeing to that.

• This service is here to support you become more connected to yourself, to those around you and to your communities. Authenticity, openness and curiosity are key here.

• Be prepared to try new thoughts and actions and be OK with not getting things right. It’s all about learning. This is the place to let the walls down and drop the mask.
