Part 2: A Curious Coaching Student by Brandi Alvarez<\/p>\n
As my classes continue I still draw so many comparisons between coaching skills and my mediation skill set.\u00a0 Today\u2019s lesson was on coaching ethics<\/a>; a simple concept right?\u00a0 In an unregulated industry the lines could become blurry.\u00a0 I find myself asking the question, are my own personal ethics enough or should I extend with a code of ethics that goes further?\u00a0 How do you know how far to go?\u00a0 How do you know how to protect yourself?\u00a0 There are many associations out there and they all present a code of ethics that say something a little different.\u00a0 When I produce my own set of ethics will I allow culture to play a role? \u00a0Will it be written differently for face-to-face versus virtual clients?\u00a0 All of these scenarios are running through my head after today.<\/p>\n Basically ethics are ethics no matter your profession.\u00a0 It is important to establish trust, honesty, and confidentiality, and be open with a client so in return you will receive the same. \u00a0Even though you are not legally bound to a code, be a moral upstanding member of your community because your livelihood will depend on your reputation. \u00a0The one thing that sticks out for me over and over no matter the profession is that we are all made up of our own values and beliefs, just like our clients.\u00a0 It is our responsibility to leave our biases at the door in order to be an objective and effective coach<\/a>.\u00a0 A good motto to prescribe to is to know thy self in order to know thy client.\u00a0 With this I can listen, reaffirm, be objective, and support my client choosing a path they want to be on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Part 2: A Curious Coaching Student by Brandi Alvarez As my classes continue I still draw so many comparisons between coaching skills and my mediation … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[70,52,59,77,85,50,54,86,55,81,49,88,51,115,63,61,74,87,78],"class_list":["post-3829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-coaching-stories","tag-achieve-and-sustain-excellence","tag-build","tag-business-2","tag-client","tag-coach-training","tag-coaching","tag-coaching-business","tag-coaching-certification","tag-coaching-services","tag-coaching-success","tag-code-of-ethics","tag-effective-coaching","tag-excellence","tag-icf-approved-coach-training","tag-niche","tag-organization","tag-plan","tag-professional-coach","tag-rapport","latest_post"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\t\t\n
