Ethics and Professionalism in Coaching
Coaching is absolutely a professional industry. And ethics is certainly at the heart of it's foundation. But what does that look like for each of us and how can it make us better coaches to our clients? How does our 'being' as a coach inform our 'doing' of coaching. As coaches, we benefit from understanding ourselves and the roots for our beliefs, standards, and values.
