Ethics in Professional Coaching Workshop
Boost Your Ethics IQ and Stay Out of Ethical Hot Water
As a professional coach, understanding the ethical pitfalls you may face and how to navigate them in order to protect yourself, your business and your clients is more important than ever before.
With the personal nature of coaching, there are far too many gray areas that can trip you up. And even your lack of clarity on your own rationalization, blind spots and personal filters that could cause a problem, leading to a client complaint.
That's why this 6-week workshop is a must-attend for any professional coach in order to:
- Gain clarity on your personal approach to ethical decision making and its impact
- Reveal your blind spots, so that you can take immediate action
- Achieve a better understanding of the changes to the ICF’s ethics code and how they affect you
- Improve your ethical awareness by working through real-life ethical coaching dilemmas
- Learn how to spot ethical gray areas clearly, so that you can course correct before they become breaches of code
Additionally, you'll leave with:
- An Ethical Decision-Making Model you can utilize in all your business decisions
- An in-depth knowledge of The Ethical Review (Complaint) Process and 20 tips to stay out of it
- The most important points to include in your coaching agreement to protect yourself
- A one-of-a-kind Sample Coaching Agreement covering all the ethical bases known to date
