Ethics Ain't Easy

And why that's good for you!

The ICF Code of Ethics is the very foundation … the backbone … of the work we do as ICF Professionals. Yet the ethical scenarios we face as coaches aren’t always black and white. There’s an awful lot of “gray" that can be open to interpretation! 

Do you understand the limits of confidentiality? 

Are you clear on how to manage potential conflicts of interest?

What if you notice the client isn’t getting as much value out of coaching as they once did? What do you do?



Are you clear on what you’d do in situations that skirt the edges of ethical dilemmas? 

Value for Coaches:

• Understand how coaches stay on the right side of the Code of Ethics and avoid ethical violations
• Apply 3 simple tips an ICF Ethics expert recommends to all coaches
• Locate and Recognize multiple Ethics Resources available to ICF coaches
• Apply new learning to bring your Coaching Agreements in line with the ICF Code of Ethics

Are you truly in your client's world?

Do you understand the nuances of their culture?

Do you coach the whole person and not just the issue at hand?

If you can't answer these questions with a resounding "yes" or you're unsure about your skills in any of these areas, then this workshop is for you!

Join Anne for a compelling discussion of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice. Be a part of ICF's vision to create a community where all are welcome, valued and included; where all are treated with respect and dignity.

Value for Coaches:

• Be Aware of the importance of client context, identity, environment, experiences, values and beliefs ... in providing masterful coaching
• Listen fully and respond to who the client is at their core
• Recognize in the moment as your clients share the critical aspects of their life experiences that formed the basis of who they are
• Respond confidently and respectfully ... honoring your client's innate values and beliefs

“The most frequent ethical complaints relate to a poor coaching agreement, no coaching agreement, or a poorly explained coaching agreement.” 

But the question remains ... How DO you create a coaching agreement that respects the client, supports their agenda, and moves them forward?

Do you know the expectations, protections, and policies that should be spelled out?

In this highly interactive workshop, you'll discover where your coaching agreement may be inconsistent or open to interpretation that may result in ethical violations. Join Anne as she outlines the top 3 professional "best practices" that support you and your client as you build a safe and trusting relationship.

Value for Coaches:

• Discover what's most important to include in your coaching agreement
• Change any vulnerabilities in your current agreement
• Compare your current practices and policies with other coaches to enhance your coaching agreement
• Design a method to insure periodic review of Coaching Agreement and why that's important



What do we really mean by a Coaching Mindset? How can you tell when you’re genuinely in that space?

How many of the 11 markers of a Coaching Mindset are evident when you coach?

How can you authentically exhibit a Coaching Mindset in your Performance Evaluation recording for the ICF?

Join Anne for a fun and interactive CCE training on the newest ICF Competency, Embodies a Coaching Mindset. You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. You’ll fully explore this competency and practice it through the lens of improvisation.

Using improv games and techniques, we’ll explore evidence of a Coaching Mindset in action, so you’ll feel comfortable and confident with this new competency!

Value for Coaches:

• Identify/Recognize evidence of the new Mindset core competency using the PCC Markers
• Practice client-centered exercises that produce and demonstrate “openness and curiosity”
• Build mastery by inviting and accepting all client responses to your feedback, without attachment

You’re on a chemistry call or a consultation with a prospective client and they ask that dreaded question ... “Can you describe your coaching style?” 

You’re at a loss. How do you capture the essence of your style? Do you reply with the assessments you use, the coaching school you attended, or your specialty niche ... knowing there’s so much more to you than that! 

After this session you’ll have clarity on your unique coaching style and the value you provide to your clients ... and so will they!

Value for Coaches:

• Be aware of your unique style, so you can find your ideal clients and market to them authentically
• Show up fully as yourself in coaching and discover how it all becomes easier and more effortless
• Analyze how your individual coaching style serves you ... and how might it limit you
