How I Honour Your Rights As a Customer....Before we engage in this educational service you will be briefed on the process and have your questions answered so you can make an informed choice to access my services. Did you know your rights as a customer include, but are not limited to: 1. saying to me, at any time: “I don’t know”, “tell me more”, “I am not sure”, “no, that won’t work”, “sure”, “pass”, and “I feel ____”,. At any time, you can also end the meeting &/or our consent agreement. I also have these same rights. 2. feeling “I have your back”. It is my very firm intention to offer you a confidential space where you feel supported and to leave our meeting with some new ideas as well as new options to ponder. 3. remaining completely in charge of what you do in your career. You have the full freedom to modify or reject any of my offerings and ideas. IMPORTANT NOTE: At all times you remain in charge of what you decide to do in your own practice. Educational-Coaching support services, with Dawn, are regarded as an educational service where Dawn is NOT representing any regulatory body, training association, or counselling organization. Thus, you are expected to critically reflect upon any of Dawn's/DPS comments and to use what fits–accept, reject, or modify–according to your counselling practice and style, agency expectations and protocols, your values, and your code of ethics/standards of practice.
