Ethics in Coaching with The Co-Active Training Institute (Hosted by ICF Connecticut)
Join us for this "giant think tank", discussing and delving deep into the whole arena of ethics in coaching as it relates to the current version of the ICF Code of Ethics and Core Competencies, updated in 2021. We will introduce important definitions and distinctions that influence one's perspective around ethics.
As coaches, we shape the profession of coaching. How we conduct ourselves impacts how the public perceives the coaching industry. Through our experiential time together, using case studies and examples, we will equip you with tools to explore ethical concerns, including those that lack clear-cut answers. Our aim is that you come away from this program empowered to courageously find your way forward with curiosity and ethical integrity.
