Need 1: Without a regulatory body to provide clear and consistent guidance, trainees need an alternative source of advice and support on ethical coaching practice.
Feature: The book has a unique and specific focus on issues of values and ethics in all aspects of coaching – from the coach’s own values and ethics, through ethical coaching practice, to issues specific to different coaching contexts – helping trainees to build their own coaching practice on solid ethical grounds.
Need 2: Trainees new to coaching practice need to be able to make sound ethical judgements in this unfamiliar context. Ethical and moral dilemmas that arise from issues such as contracting, confidentiality, boundaries etc. can be difficult to conceptualise.
Feature: Each chapter starts with a values/ethics based scenario, ensuring subsequent discussion is clearly illustrated and contextualised. Ethical dilemma boxes also appear throughout, introducing trainees to the kind of dilemmas they might face and encouraging trainees to think about how they might resolve them.
