1. Masterclass: The Ethical Code “live” How to coach by the Code It is well known that to behave in an ethical way is important for each professional coach. But it is not always crystal clear what we actually mean by ‘behaving in an ethical way’. To specify this a number of ‘ethical codes’ exist such as the EMCC Code of Ethics and the ICF Code of Ethics. Together both organisations have even created the Professional Charter for Coaching and Mentoring that is registered with the European Commission. But even though these codes help clarify the issue different views remain. Acting responsibly is a matter of personal (and cultural) opinion where one coach accepts a behaviour that the next coach definitely regards as non-ethical. Masterclass content In the first part of this Masterclass we will go into the EMCC and ICF codes, their significance and their differences. Also the history and relevance of the Professional Charter will be explained and discussed. In the second part of the Masterclass we will follow a ‘real life’ case and focus on various aspects of ethical behaviour by professional coaches in practical situations that may (or may not) occur at any moment when dealing with a sponsor or a coachee. Here we will see how personal opinion affects professional ethical behaviour and will be able to discuss different opinions and choices made by the participants, bearing in mind that not always only one possible solution is ‘right’ with all the others being ‘wrong’. What this Masterclass does not do is just tell you what to do when. But it will make you more sensitive for the unexpected choices you are faced with when working as a professional coach or mentor. To accomplish that our motto for today will be: Being able to reflect on what you feel as being ethical or non-ethical is more important than just making the right choices all the time without knowing why. “This is one of the most powerful, hands-on workshops that helps you understand the true value of working by the Code” Coaches at work
