Client and coach relationship
As a coach, I pledge to honour and support the beliefs, values, individuality, objectives, and goals of my Clients so that they can grow and expand the areas of their personal and / or professional lives that they have chosen. In doing so I pledge to respect my Clients' individual requirements, limitations, and personal boundaries. I will remain constructive and instrumental in any feedback or exchange between us, and will put first and only the well-being and expressed desires of my clients, and at no time my own self interest or personal gain as it pertains to the Coach / Client relationship.
Confidentiality
I agree to maintain the confidentiality of my Clients and the coaching relationship. I will hold confidential the names of my Clients, information about their personal and / or professional life, colleagues, or related parties without the express permission from the Client.
Professional conduct
I will provide coaching to Clients only in the areas of my expertise. I will not offer guidance, advice or council in any specialized area in which I am not qualified or licensed. If it becomes apparent that the Client has challenges or problems that are beyond my expertise, I will request that the client seek advice, council, or services from a qualified professional to help them in that area. I will reserve the right to terminate the relationship until the client has done so if the challenge or problem impedes the forward movement of the coaching process.
Professional development
I pledge to continually pursue my development as a professional Coach by making a commitment to my own personal growth and exploration, maintaining a connection to the coaching community at large by meeting regularly (a minimum of once bi-monthly) in either a live or virtual group of peers, professional coaching organization(s) or coach training organization(s) and participating in a minimum of ten hours of coaching related classes, workshops, seminars, conferences or conventions per year.
