Ten Commitments to Ethics and Personal Conduct For Business Coaches – From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach

Ten Commitments to Ethics and Personal Conduct For Business Coaches – From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach

Business coaching remains a rapidly growing profession and one of the impacts of this rapid growth is more scrutiny of the profession. There have been some predictions that business coaching and other forms of coaching will experience increased criticism. This criticism may come in many different forms and today’s professional business coach needs to be able to recognize the criticism and the opportunity or opportunities that result from that criticism. One of the areas of criticism revolves around ethics and personal conduct and it is essential that these two items receive the highest priority in the business coach’s practice.

I believe there is an opportunity that exists right now to turn criticism of business coaching into compliments for business coaching. Having identified the opportunity and the importance of ethics and the highest levels of personal conduct to business coaching, Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach offers the following Ten Commitments to Ethics and Personal Conduct to help turn the criticism into compliments.

Commitment #1: Commit to maintaining the highest ethical standards with your clients.

Commitment #2: Commit to maintain the highest level of honesty & integrity with your clients.

Commitment #3: Commit to being responsible and to do no harm to your clients.

Commitment #4: Commit to always putting the interests of your client first.

Commitment #5: Commit to maintaining the strictest levels of confidentiality with your clients and their information.

Commitment #6: Commit to avoiding conflicts of interest when being engaged by clients that may be competitors.

Commitment #7: Commit to the highest ethical standards in all your marketing practices.

Commitment #8: Commit to always conduct yourself in a professional manner and to avoid inappropriate relations with your clients.

Commitment #9: Commit to maintaining the highest ethical standards in all your public relations efforts concerning your business coaching practice.

Commitment #10: Commit to offering only those professional business coaching services where you have the appropriate experience and expertise.

Your strategic thinking business coach encourages you to commit to the highest levels of ethical conduct in your business. If you would like to learn more about how a strategic thinking business coach can facilitate and guide you in creating, enhancing and/or fostering an environment that promotes ethical behavior and the highest standards of honesty & integrity within your business, please contact Glenn Ebersole today through his website at www.businesscoach4u.com or by email at jgecoach@aol.com
