Frequently Asked Questions

Is a coaching agreement legally binding in Kenya?
Yes, under the Law of Contract Act (Cap. 23). The agreement documents the coaching relationship, fees, session frequency, cancellation policy, and confidentiality. It protects both coach and client and sets clear expectations from the outset.
Can a coach be held liable for bad advice in Kenya?
Coaches who provide specific professional advice (legal, financial, medical) without the appropriate qualifications can face liability. A well-drafted coaching agreement includes a disclaimer that coaching is not professional advice, which limits but does not eliminate liability. Coaches should stay within their expertise.
What should a coaching agreement say about confidentiality?
The agreement should state that session content is confidential in both directions — the coach does not share what the client discloses, and the client does not share the coach's proprietary methodologies. Exceptions (e.g. safeguarding, court orders) should also be noted.
