XCPD-050 - Ethics in Coaching
Course Description
Coaching is a dynamic and evolving profession and, like all professionals, coaches must be sensitive to and stay aware of ethical and legal issues that could impact their work. In this course, we look at coaching and ethics using a granular perspective, examining real life situations that coaches have had to negotiate. Participants will conduct a thorough analysis of the resources that guide coaches – the ICF Code of Ethics and the ICF Core Competencies. Participants will have a clear understanding of the importance of ethics in the coaching profession, concrete examples of how ethics play into coaching relationships even before a client decides to hire the coach, and tools to ensure their coaching practice remains ethically sound.
