PLEDGE OF ETHICS & STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

Confidentiality - I will respect my client's privacy which means I do not reveal client names or contact information or the content of conversations, except as otherwise authorized by my client, or as required by law. Honest & Open - I will be radically honest and open in sharing my hunches, insights and perspectives. I am a truth-teller and encourage the same from my clients. Continual Growth - I strive to be an expert in the field of coaching. I continually study human potential, leadership, and the latest coaching methods; as well as continuing my coaching/life education through attending seminars, workshops and professional conferences. Efficiency - I deliver my coaching materials electronically to assure that my clients receive information quickly and easily. Dependability - I will be on time and consciously present for coaching sessions. I allow enough time between my sessions so that I am fresh and renewed for each call. Respect - I believe that my clients deliver their best and respect and honor their efforts. They are creative, resourceful, and whole; and an expert in their own life. Effectiveness - I will be alert to noticing when my client is no longer benefiting from our coaching relationship and would be better served by another coach or other resource (including therapy) and will encourage my client to make that change. Resources - I will suggest books, articles, workshops and seminars that I believe will benefit my client's personal and business growth and success. Constructive Language - I will only use constructive language and will not use criticism as a motivational technique. Client's Ownership -- I will create the space for my client's coming up with their own solutions guided by the insights and discoveries I share. I realize I am a catalyst and conduit for change and that the client is the one who does the real work.
