My sessions will focus on agreed-upon coaching goals with clients
I will gently redirect off-topic discussions to maintain focus
I will communicate openly if sessions drift from intended objectives
Both coach and client have the right to address scope concerns
I will maintain confidentiality, ensuring what’s said in the session stays in the session, with no exceptions unless there’s a legal or safety issue
I will respect professional boundaries, refraining from acting as a therapist, consultant, or best friend, and staying within my role as a coach
I will honor the client’s autonomy, believing they are capable, whole, and resourceful, partnering with them rather than fixing their problems
I will ensure no conflicts of interest by maintaining transparency, naming any factors that could bias the relationship
I commit to continuous development, continually learning, growing, and seeking supervision to uphold my coaching standards
