I want you to be familiar with policies/procedures so that things can run smoothly between us. Please read these very carefully so that there are no misunderstandings later on.
The procedures, practices, policies and benefits described here may be modified or discontinued from time to time. We will try to inform you of any changes as they occur.
COMMUNICATION
WHO TO CONTACT.
As a client of Catalytic Change, LLC (DBA Action Incubator), Catherine (Cat) Stancik is your main point of contact. From time to time, Cat may assign a different point of contact in the event of her absence or when needed.
METHOD OF CONTACT.
The primary method of contact with Cat is via email (if you are a private client) or your closed Facebook Group (if you are a member of a group coaching program). Cat checks all Facebook Groups once per day. If you must send something personal to Cat through email or Facebook Messenger, please allow up to 3 business days for a response.
Cat does not accept unscheduled phone calls (she screens calls like a biotch!). Therefore, if you are a private coaching client, please use her scheduling calendar to schedule your call. If you are not a private or VIP client, please purchase a Discovery Session with Cat to access her calendar or complete an application for one of our programs to talk to our team at no cost.
TURN AROUND TIME.
When you respond to Cat, you will typically receive a response within 24 hours. Again, Cat checks both Facebook Groups and her email once per day.
Responses are not guaranteed during non-office hours. Continue reading for information on when our office hours are.
Responses may be delayed in the event of vacations, holidays, or emergencies. Cat will do her best to make you aware of these delays in advance.
OFFICE HOURS.
Cat is based in the Eastern Time Zone. Therefore, our official company office hours are roughly Monday through Friday 9AM – 4PM Eastern Time.
If you need assistance outside of our normal business hours, we will do our best to accommodate. Please remember that Cat is a human being with a family and a life too.
STRATEGY CALLS
If you have purchased a service that includes phone calls with Cat, here are the policies and procedures associated with this:
SCHEDULING CALLS
Private clients are responsible for scheduling their calls. As part of your kick off email you will receive the link that will allow you to schedule these calls. This email will contain a link to the calendar(s) where you can pick a day/time that works best for you.
The times displayed on the calendar reflect Cat’s true availability, therefore if there are no days/times that work for you, please do your best to make something work. If there is truly nothing you can do, then you may reach out to Cat to attempt to manually schedule another day/time.
Please remember that it is your responsibility to schedule and make use of these calls. The calls are provided on a first come, first served basis, and your time with Cat does not roll over. Therefore, we recommend that you schedule your calls in advance as soon as you can.
RE-SCHEDULING OR CANCELING CALLS
We want the very best experience for you. Please try not to reschedule your scheduled appointments. If an extremely unusual situation occurs and you need to reschedule, please give us as much advance notice as possible. As with any professional service business, a minimum 24-hour notice is expected.
Please understand that when you cancel or reschedule calls, you run the risk of forfeiting calls for the month if no further time slots are available.
LENGTH OF CALLS
Strategy calls last about from 45 minutes. If you call later than the scheduled time, the call will still end at the originally designated finish time, as we have clients scheduled before and after your call.
GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CALLS.
In preparation for our calls, we ask that you complete a Progress Form, at least 48 hours in advance of the call. This will allow Cat ample time to review and prepare to bring the most value to your session. This form will be emailed to you upon scheduling.
Please call from a quiet place to concentrate on our work together. (Please do not eat or do anything else when you’re being coached. You won’t get as much value, and it’s pretty much annoying.)
And, of course, please be on time.
WHAT NUMBER TO CALL.
At the time of your session, please download and login to Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/9731014496.
RECORDING OF SESSIONS.
You may request recordings of your sessions. Please let Cat know after the call if you would like access to the recording.
NONDISCLOSURE OF COACHING MATERIALS
Materials that we give you in the course of our work together are proprietary and copyrighted. You agree that such proprietary material is solely for your own personal use for the purpose of improving your home life, or starting, growing or marketing your business or service. Any disclosure to a third party is strictly prohibited.
Under no circumstances can the copy in these documents be used or reproduced in whole or part without the express written permission of Action Incubator. The absence of a copyright notice on any given page or material should NOT be construed as an absence of copyright.

DECISIONS
You are responsible for decisions made about your home life, work and your business. We are happy to share our opinions, offer resources, or make referrals. However, it is up to you to decide which, if any, to act upon. If you decide to take a recommendation, it is your choice and you take full responsibility for it. If you decide to work with someone based on our referral, you must know the workings of that relationship will be entirely separate of our relationship with you.
FEEDBACK
FEEDBACK FORMS.
From time to time, Cat will email you to request Feedback, along with a form to submit the feedback. It helps her to know what you like about her coaching, what results you received, and any potential areas for improvement that you can identify for us. Because we are committed to creating a quality experience, we do take feedback very seriously.
TESTIMONIALS.
From time to time, we will also email you to request written or video testimonials. You are of course under no obligation to provide a testimonial for our services, however we would greatly appreciate it if you took the time to do so. Thank you in advance!
REFERRAL PARTNERS
Many times, we have had the opportunity to send a client referrals and we are absolutely thrilled to do it. This happens often most probably because we get to know a client’s business intimately and become keenly aware of who their ideal clients are, as well as the results that people get from the services they provide. This means that, occasionally, you may receive a referral from us, depending on the circumstances.
On the flip side, our clients regularly send referrals to us as well. In essence, we become referral partners. So, that said, here’s what I propose: if you overhear an entrepreneur saying she’d like to hire a business coach, or that she is struggling to grow their business, then please feel free to make an introduction.
Cat will do the same for you when she meets someone who would benefit from working with you.
