DifferWorld’s Professional Coaching Code
January 26, 2007
While coaching, I will conduct myself…
* In an ethical, moral and empowering manner in line with legal guidelines
* In a manner that honours the profession I am in and the person I am coaching
* In partnership with the coachee keeping the best interest of the coachee’s in mind
I will respect…
* The confidentiality of my coaching unless authorized otherwise by my coachee, or by a prior open agreement or as required by the law of the land to do so
* The gender, race, language, religion and basic human rights of the coachee
* The points of view and professional conduct and of other coaches and
professionals
* Any other previous intervention the coachee may have gotten prior to my
coaching or will choose to undertake after my coaching
* The need for me to continue to educate myself and keep current with the latest coaching practices worldwide and the need for me to stay current in the practical applications of coaching through continuous practical coaching experience
* The need for me to exercise proper judgment taking into consideration the age, maturity and competency levels of the coachee
* The need to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, reflected in both my manner of appearance and behaviour
* The need for me as a coach to share the knowledge and practical experience I gain and make it available as a contribution as and where appropriate as a resource for the overall development of the coaching profession as a whole
This is my Code as a Professional Coach.
