This episode is inspired by my own breaches in integrity over the 2 decades plus that I’ve been a coach and some I see other coaches stumble with as well.
If you took coach training, hopefully you were provided with some standard ethical guidelines that need to be followed with your clients. Things like:
· Keeping your coaching client’s contact info and what they say confidential unless they give express permission for you to share some part of it.
· Setting personal and time boundaries with clients.
Beyond that, no one talks much about ethics and integrity in coaching.
Coaching is not currently a regulated field so it’s doubly important that you, as the professional coach, regulate yourself. That helps all coaches and the future of coaching.
Complaints about coaches hurt the field of coaching. And we really don’t want this field to be regulated, as it would greatly change the coaching industry for the worse.
Have you realized that YOU are a PROFESSIONAL? Take this in.
Own the fact that what you do is a professional service and you are a trained professional offering serious and consequential experiences through your coaching.
When I say serious and consequential, I mean that you could hurt someone just as easily as you could help them.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
