FINANCIAL AGREEMENT

I agree to pay Chance for Change Institute, Inc. $27.00 per month (OR $290.00 per year) using the automated online payment system.  

I understand that, if my payment is declined, the Chance for Change Institute system will make two more attempts to process the payment.

I understand that, if the payment continues to decline, my membership will terminate immediately. Further, I understand that I will then be asked to pay for the year in full in order to avoid further disruptions to my membership. (If you know there is going to be a problem with your monthly payment, please reach out to Jody via Facebook Messenger BEFORE the due date, so that she can support you in choosing your best option.)

I understand that, in the event that my payment is not received on time, I will be immediately removed from the membership and denied access to all platforms (Kajabi, Facebook, etc.). We do not have the administrative capacity to manage continually missed payments AND we understand that finances can be challenging at times.  We trust that you understand these boundaries.

I understand that I am bound to the same terms of the Enrollment Agreement that I signed when I enrolled in the Chance for Change Institute course that brought me into the community.

Co-Creating a Powerful and Transformative Learning Environment for Shared Conscious Evolution

 _____ 1. I understand that we relate to each other as co-creative partners and allies who are supporting and encouraging each other to live from the futures we are committed to creating. 

1.1 I agree to share, in deeply authentic and transparent ways, about the FUTURE I am committed to creating, in alignment with my true self, even though I may not know what that means – I choose to embrace the (future me) and transform my past through the lens of leader and victor – while acknowledging and honoring myself for any victimizations that may have happened in my life. To be a victor is to rise above and take back personal power, it is not about condoning victimization. 

1.2 I agree to be accountable for being who I NEED TO BE in order to create the future I want by sharing, in deeply authentic and transparent ways, the actions I am committed to taking each week to grow my skills and to share whether or not I am in integrity with these actions.

1.3 While I am the arbitrator of my integrity, to live in alignment with the future I am committing to creating, I agree to relate to my peers as co-creators of that future and to be open and receptive to their reflections and support. As such, I agree to value and consider their perspectives and contributions, even if I ultimately choose a different path for myself.

1.4 I agree to hold the intentions of all my sisters in this course with me with the same sense of loving commitment as I do my own. I agree to learn the commitments of others in the Leading through the Lens of Love Community and extend support and encouragement and energetically bless those intentions regularly.

2.   We take 100% responsibility for our wellbeing for the duration of the course.

2.1 I agree to take full responsibility for my wellbeing as I move through the course. I realize that, although the Leading Life through the Lens of Love course is transformative, I am clear it is NOT in any way a substitute for personal therapy, other mental health, healing, or private coaching services offered by licensed clinicians. I am aware that, by enrolling in this course, I am doing so at my own risk and with the intention of being responsible and accountable for my needs. I make this choice consciously and with a sound mind.

2.2 Should I find myself experiencing difficult emotions that I am not able to manage myself, or if I am experiencing a crisis that I am having difficulty navigating, I agree to be responsible for generating any additional support that I might need by seeking emergency services within my community by calling 911, going to the emergency room, or by dialing 211. If seeking support during regular business hours (9 a.m.- 5 p.m.), I may contact Jody directly, with the understanding that she cannot be responsible for my emotional or physical wellbeing, but she can serve as a catalyst for helping me seek support outside of the course. If she cannot be reached, I understand that I am responsible for contacting the resources I need to ensure my wellbeing. In Vermont, my local 211 services can help me find Mental Health Crisis or In-person Crisis Intervention phone numbers local to me.

2.3 I understand and agree that, if I do work in the field of mental health, coaching, healing, or any other service that may be in alignment with the needs of the women attending the Leading Life through the Lens of Love course, I am forbidden from soliciting or offering these services to my fellow students without the written consent of Jody Marquis. I understand that Students who breach this request will be terminated from the course without cause, and there will be no refund of any funds.

2.4 If I am unable to find a certified or licensed coach or therapist to work with privately, I will reach out to Jody Marquis, the founder of this course, for a referral.

3.   We relate to breakdowns, disappointments, obstacles, and delays in the course, and life, in creative and resourceful ways.

3.1 I agree to use events, both in the course and in my life, as opportunities to deepen into greater levels of self-awareness, self-love, and self-responsibility as a way to gain mastery over the application of course material.

3.2 When faced with challenging circumstances, I agree to look for creative solutions and to communicate in ways that are generative of possible solutions, assuming that others are doing their best and are on my side.

3.3 I agree to strive to see myself as the source in all situations. This means that I will try to understand how I may have contributed to and/or co-created what is occurring and I will also remain aware of my commitment to respond to everyone and everything in generative and resourceful ways.

In the :Leading through the Lens of Love Program, we strive to use Nonviolent Communication and to take responsibility for our thoughts, feelings, and needs. 

 I feel _____ because my need for ____ is going unmet AND I choose _________ as a way to be accountable for my needs.

I understand that, in this community, we believe that people are often victimized in life and we understand that victimization changes how we view ourselves, others, and the world as a whole.  Chance for Change asks all students to ensure that each indvidual and their story is acknowledged, heard, and seen to validate everyone’s life experience. We ask that you be willing to become the victor in your life and seek to create purpose from past experiences.  Therefore, we ask that students refrain from blaming others, shaming themselves, or complaining about the past. Instead, we ask that students begin to see the past through the lenses of lessons, gifts, and silver linings, which becomes easier as awareness increases and skills are practiced. 

Because I went through _____ I have been given the lesson of______. I am (able or not able) to embrace this lesson in my life right now and I can acknowledge that it’s an option if I choose.

4.   We agree to embody the Leading Life through the Lens of Love principles by committing wholeheartedly to live this work.

4.1 I agree to take actions to expand into a new and wider comfort zone. As such, I am continually taking actions and making choices as if I am my self-of-the-future and the belief that I am enough right now.  I am committed to creating and getting more and more used to sourcing/aligning myself from the eyes of my future self.  I do this by identifying programming that may be getting in my way and transforming it into my new story. 

4.2 I agree to be more interested in the possibility of my transformation and in what I can learn in the present moment than I am in being right, making someone else wrong, saving face, avoiding domination, or looking good.

4.3 I agree to set aside what I think I already know and remain open and available to the course leaders and other participants so that I might discover what I may not even know that I don’t yet know.

5.   We agree to be trustworthy, generous, kind, and honorable with all members of our Leading through the Lens of Love community, as well as with all those who provide support for our course.

5.1 I agree to keep the confidence and guard the privacy of participants, including by wearing headphones during live meetings when others in my household or the place from which I am participating might be able to overhear the conversations.

5.2 I agree to hold the sanctity and sacredness of all sharing that occurs in the course. 

5.3 I agree to never reveal the identity of another participant or duplicate postings from the course’s pages or groups without the written permission of the author of the post.

5.4 I agree to relate to my peers in ways that build respect, trust, and appreciation, as well as in ways that foster group learning and growth.

5.5 I agree to keep my word by doing what I say I will do and within the agreed-upon timeframe. This includes commitments I make with myself, with other course participants, and with those in my life in general. I also agree to be accountable for making amends when I don’t keep my word, to clean up the consequences that result from that break, and to make a new commitment with whomever I broke trust with, especially with myself.  I understand and agree that, if I do work in the field of mental health, coaching, healing, or any other service that may be in alignment with the needs of the women participating in any Chance for Change Institute program, I am forbidden from soliciting or offering these services to my fellow students without the written consent of Jody Marquis. Students who breach this request will be terminated from the course without cause, and there will be no refund of any funds.
