WINC Program Participant Agreement
This is a sacred agreement first and foremost, as well as a legal agreement to make sure we are both clear on important issues, for example, the no-refunds policy, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and liability.
Sacred Agreement
- I am totally committed to growing my business. I show up to the WINC Program with an open willingness to learn and a readiness to take real action in my business.
- I am 100% committed to doing the work to build my business and talking to my accountability partner between each meeting if I choose to have one.
- I am a deep listener to other women in the Program. I am sensitive to keeping my comments within the allotted time, so that we can hear from all women.
- I learn just as much about my business when other women are talking, as I do when I am talking and the Program is helping me.
- I know that one of the biggest things holding me back in my business is a mindset or behavior I am stuck in, and that growing out of this pattern may not be easy or comfortable. I trust these growing pains.
- I show up to each the WINC Circles on time and I stay until the official close time. If I am going to be more than 5 minutes late, I will not come out of respect for the other women.
- If I am unable to continue being part of the Program, I commit to coming to one more Circle meeting to say goodbye so that we can all have a nourishing sense of closure.
- My business is my responsibility. I do not hold WINC or any woman in the circle accountable or liable for any action or decision I make in my own business.
- I understand I have signed confidentiality agreement that makes sure my business is safe and that I keep other women’s business safe.
- I understand that WINC limits the number of women who can participate in the Program, so as to foster an intimate experience among the women. Thus I understand that by saying Yes to this Program I have taken a seat that another woman could have benefited from, so I fully understand that I am purchasing a non-refundable seat in the Program.
- I commit to showing up with my heart and my honesty, in support of all of our growth.
