Ethics of Coaching and Mentoring in the Workplace
In most organizations, coaching is not a formal position, but a competency and a way of relating to others that can empower people in many roles. For those who do choose to coach as a profession, we are faced with choices where the ethical rules are not always clear, or may seemingly be in conflict.
For example, the prevailing client workplace ethic may have evolved by conventional wisdom, expediency, habit or trial and error. If it is not aligned with your personal ethic, what are your options?
Is your loyalty to the individual you are coaching? Or to the sponsor they report to? How are things different if you are expected to coach both of them!?
Who can you speak to about your coaching conundrum when bound by confidentiality commitments? If your values or priorities clash with those of the individuals mentioned above, where does your job as a coach end and your job as a citizen begin?
Join us for a better understanding of what coaching is/is not, and how vitally important awareness of our personal values and beliefs is in the trust process essential to the coaching phenomenon.
