Gain confidence as we explore complex situations with new ICF Code of Ethics
from Coacharya's Coach to Lead Hosted by Cindy Muthukarapan, Svea van der Hoorn
They thoroughly unpacked the revised ICF Code of Ethics, highlighted key changes, and discussed practical implications: Expanded Ethical Scope ("ICF Professional"): Your ethical responsibilities as an ICF professional now extend beyond coaching sessions to all public identification with ICF. Transparency in Tech & Conflicts of Interest: Proactively disclose technology use and clearly manage multiple professional roles to avoid conflicts. "Do Good" Beyond Compliance: Ethics isn't just about following rules; it's about actively working for the client's benefit and preventing harm. Partner, Don't Prescribe in Complexity: When faced with difficult client disclosures (e.g., mental health, trauma), inquire and partner with the client rather than immediately diagnosing or referring. Address "Ethical Fading": Be mindful of how convenience or comfort can lead to neglecting ethical follow-through. Lean on Coaching Skills: Your core coaching competencies (presence, inquiry, curiosity) are your best tools in ethical dilemmas. Seek Support: Utilize supervision and ethical buddies for complex situations.
