As a Certified Coach and trained by CTI (ICF accredited training), I adhere to the International Federation of Coaching Code of Ethics (ICF) and CTI Code of Ethics.
I also have muy Personal Code of Good Conduct.
ICF Code of Ethics
The ICF was the first to develop a definition and a philosophy of coaching. It has also established a set of ethical standards that its members are committed to uphold. The ICF has established its code of ethics for its members and coaches accredited by the association. In addition, it has put in place an ethical conduct review process for individuals who have a complaint about an accredited member or coach.
Both coaches and the public should be familiar with the codes and processes as well as the high standards that ICF professional coaches are committed to uphold.
Chapter One: Defining Coaching
Section 1 : Définitions
Coaching : Coaching is the establishment of a partnership with clients as part of a process of reflection and creativity, in order to encourage them to optimize their potential, both personal and professional.
Professional coaching relationship : A professional coaching relationship exists when the coaching incorporates an agreement or a commercial contract that defines the responsibilities of each party.
Professional ICF Coach : A Professional Coach ICF is also committed to implementing ICF Professional Key Competencies and is accountable to the ICF Code of Ethics
In order to clarify the roles that exist in the coaching relationship, it is often necessary to distinguish between the client and the sponsor. In most cases, the client and sponsor are embodied by the same person and therefore jointly referred to as the “customer”. However, for the sake of recognition, the ICF (International Coach Federation) defines these roles as follows:
Client : The “client” is the person(s) accompanied.
Sponsor : The “sponsor” is the entity (including its representatives) that funds and / or arranges the provision of coaching services.
In all cases, contracts or coaching assignments must clearly define the rights, roles and responsibilities of the client and the sponsor, if they are separate persons.
Chapter Two : ICF Ethical Conduct Standards
