Agreement | Terms & Conditions
Effective date: 7th July 2023
The Company: 5S Projects Limited & Sonal Bhaskaran
The Client: You as a student and member of the Focused Action Amplifier, The Focused Action Amplifier Essentials, High Magick Catalyst and The 5 PEAKS Method®
1. Coaching, Consulting & Training Partnership
Whether it's within the FAA or you engage in 1:1 sessions with me:
1a. You're committed to doing the work required as part of the coaching and 5 PEAKS Method® in order to achieve the results you want to see and I will be committed to making sure that I am there to support and guide you towards it in my capacity as a Decision Coach & High Magick Healing Practitioner
1b. The FAA is a community based membership. It is essential that we co-create a sage and supportive space for each other. This means treating each other with respect, care and consideration. Any form of abuse, harassment or bullying will not be tolerated. Where this occurs, the student will be removed from all services, without compensation. If you are the recipient of such behaviour, do not engage with the sender but contact me, Sonal Bhaskaran, in the first instance.
1c: You have unlimited access to me. That means you can contact me at anytime and I will get back to you within 24 hours (unless I advice otherwise) via WhatsApp, the community, FAA 121 laser coaching (30 minutes). If there is something that requires more time, or you need a paid intensive session we can book that in separately. While I will proactively check in, it is your responsibility to reach out to me when you need support from me, especially on the days where you want to shut yourself away from everything and it might seem like the hardest thing to do.
1d. When you enter this group, you'll be leaving your old thought patterns and habits behind. It can be scary, but I'm with you all the way. Instead of shutting things out or not being open to new ways, you agree to remain curious and open instead.
1e. You have access to the Focused Action Amplifier and the 5 PEAKS Method® to the end of your paid subscription period. I want to make sure this program works for you not just for now, but for the time you decide to stay with us. For it to work, I need to know what works and what doesn't from you. This means you must be willing to proactively provide feedback. I may not always implement all the feedback as provided, but I will never disregard it.
1f. You're not here to have your ego massaged, you're here to be and live better than you are today. That means accepting uncomfortable truths sometimes and changing things we don't want to, but need to. I will always do this in a caring and compassionate way, but I will never lie to you to make you feel better. You will need to accept and work on the uncomfortable.
1g. This is training, consulting and not just learning and coaching. You will get all of what you need to move forward with each step through the 5 PEAKS Method®. Sadly, I can't do the work for you (even if I want to). And even if I did, it would do you no good. Imagine you want to lose weight, but you don't go to the gym and eat 3x your bodyweight in unhealthy foods. If I went to the gym, and ate clean, I'd be the one looking buff and feeling healthy, not you. But when you do get stuck, you have me to reach out to so that I can support you in the best way I can to get you driving forward. Ultimately, the work you put in will determine the results you achieve.
