A Brief Introduction to Coaching

There are some definite guidelines on what is and is not coaching.

​

Coaching is about many things. However, principally it is about change. It is about developing emotional intelligence and conscious awareness. In business, coaching is a leadership behavior that lies at the opposite end of the spectrum to command and control, and in effect addresses the whole person, not just ‘the role’ and business issues.

​

The process is diverse and expansive. It can cover a breadth of issues.

​

In summary, coaching is about the marriage of a persons’ potential with performance. The context is to allow people to learn rather than teach them.

​

Coaching is not appropriate for the following: -

-People with dependencies such as drugs and alcohol

            -Therapy for people who have suffered abuse

            -A shoulder to cry on

            -People who are abusing others

            -People who are experiencing mental illness

            -Counselling

​

Therapists in some of the above fields deal with events that have happened in the past. Coaching is specifically about the present and the future.

​

While reference to past events is normal practice within a coaching relationship to apply background and context, a Coach, unless declaring otherwise, is NOT qualified to deal with any past emotional trauma or turmoil that is preventing the participant from moving forward.

​

Ethics & Standards

The following outlines the code of conduct applicable to all Coaches.

• Your Coach will conduct themselves with dignity, honesty, integrity and responsibility.

• Participants are assured that anything they discuss with their Coach will remain confidential, unless required by law, or the participant gives permission in writing.

• Coaches will be clear about the boundary between coaching and other therapies, such as counselling (see previous information).

• All coaching agreements are easy to understand, with expectations of both the coach and the participant clearly stated.

• Coaches will not coach minors (under 18) without parent’s written permission.

• Coaches will be willing to recommend other coaches if it is more appropriate for the client

 

Terms & Conditions of Business Coaching

• Meetings will start at the scheduled time, even if the participant is delayed.

• Cancellation of a session for any reason other than emergencies will result in the surrender of the session. Your development should be your priority.

• You are encouraged to call or email your Coach between sessions if you are stuck, confused, challenged or just want to share your successes! Please respect your Coach’s time and be willing to keep interim calls to 5-10 minutes. Thank you.

• Your coach will set your personal assignments to complete between sessions to help you in your growth.

• Your confidentiality is vital, and your coach will never discuss or impart information about you to anyone else. Your coach is required to keep a record of the number of hours that they coach. Unless you request otherwise, your name will be entered on that log. This is only ever seen by the professional standards committee member checking your coach’s suitability for professional registration. Thank you in advance for your support of professional standards in coaching.

• Your coach will never use information given by you during a coaching session for his or her own benefit.

• Your coach will often give you their perspective on your situation, and may help to provide a selection of approaches to any one situation. Please note that participants are responsible and accountable for any action that is or isn’t taken based on a summing up of the discussion. The coach accepts no liabilities for the consequences of action or inaction on the part of a participant.

 

Your Coach is not qualified to give specific legal or financial advice. Please be aware that this is a coaching relationship, designed to support you in finding your own options and that any suggestions given are based on helping you to make your own decisions and should not be taken as authoritative or as advice. Whether the subject matter is business, financial, health, or any other, please always seek advice from relevant qualified professionals before taking action.

 

In working with your Coach you are making the following commitments to yourself:

To be open to new challenges and be prepared to stretch yourself to achieve them.

To be open and honest with yourself and me and trust that I will never judge you on anything you say.

To make the necessary time adjustments so that you get the most out of your coaching – this includes turning up on time for all scheduled meetings and committing to following through with the action steps that you choose to take between sessions.

To be true to yourself and your own principles and values (you will identify/clarify your values during the program).

To be prepared to share a laugh or two along the way and to let me know if laughing is the last thing you feel like doing on that particular day.

To let me know straight away if anything about our coaching relationship bothers you or is not working as well as it could.

To look after yourself well between coaching sessions. The bigger the challenge you are undertaking, the greater the degree of self-care that is needed to support your wellness and energy.

Self-management is a vital component of emotional intelligence. I do not work with people who are continually prepared to work themselves into the ground at the expense of their health and well-being.

Your coaching program is about building your awareness. It is only the beginning. Personal excellence, self-achievement and development are a lifelong process that only you can be committed to.

 

Always remember that while having a goal is a vital component to life-success, the purpose of a goal in not the actual material or positional outcome, but who you become by achieving it.
