I will construct clear agreements with my clients, and will honor all agreements made in the context of professional coaching relationships.
-
I will ensure that, prior to or at the initial session, my coaching client understands the nature of coaching, the bounds of confidentiality, financial arrangements and other terms of the coaching agreement.
-
I will accurately identify my qualifications, expertise and experience as a coach.
-
I will not intentionally mislead or make false claims about what my client will receive from the coaching process or from me as their coach.
-
I will be alert to indications that the client is no longer benefiting from our coaching relationship and I will respect the client’s right to terminate coaching at any point during the process. If I believe the client would be better served by another coach, or by another resource, I will encourage the client to make a change.
-
I will take all reasonable steps to notify the appropriate authorities in the event a client discloses an intention to endanger self or others.
