Continuing with how Ethics speak to diversity, ICF Code of Ethics<\/a> number 25 states to avoid discrimination by maintaining fairness and equality in all activities and operations, while respecting local rules and cultural practices. \u00a0This includes and is not limited to discrimination on the basis of age, race, gender, expression, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, disability, or military status. \"More<\/p>\n

Even prior to becoming a coach, most of us understand that we are not supposed to discriminate. \u00a0It is about making sure that we really are treating people appropriately.\u00a0 When we talk about diversity, we often talk about inclusion.\u00a0 Another big piece of the conversation is equity. \u00a0Ideally the conversation moves to \u201cnot seeing color\u201d which means that we honor and respect cultural differences, and we also value every human being the same.\u00a0 In coaching<\/a> we go deep – we talk about really connecting with people and developing that safe, trusting relationship. \u00a0We know that the number one indicator of success in a coaching relationship is rapport. \u00a0This means creating that safe space. \u00a0It also means being open and vulnerable.\u00a0 Our job as a coach is to be accepting of everyone.\u00a0 Whoever our client is, honor and respect them.<\/p>\n

ICF Code of Ethics number 28 states \u201cam aware of my own and of my clients\u2019 impact on society. \u00a0I adhere to the philosophy of \u2018doing good\u2019 versus \u2018avoiding bad\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is a very powerful statement!\u00a0 Many of us have heard of the Hippocratic oath<\/a> to do no harm.<\/p>\n

This is going above and beyond that, more than passively not causing harm we are called to pro-actively find the opportunities for doing good. \u00a0This means being aware of our impact on society and our clients\u2019 impact on society. \u00a0Many of us have had the privilege of working with clients who are leaders in their communities or their organizations.\u00a0 They are role models for other people and have an impact. \u00a0As their coach, we have the privilege of exploring how they are doing, what they are doing, how they are making the most of their opportunity as a leader, and what that impact is for the greater good.\u00a0 For us as coaches, reflect, what are we doing? How are we doing it?<\/p>\n

Proactively seek opportunities for making a difference. This speaks to the whole concept of diversity and social justice. \u00a0Doing good is such an amazing piece; I love that our code of ethics calls on us to do good.\u00a0 This is very much about working with all people.<\/p>\n
