To say ‘this is a confidential space for our coaching’ is akin to saying ‘trust me’. You need to do more than that…
How many times have you heard a coach say “I just want you to know this is a confidential space”? You may even say this yourselves at the beginning of a session. And fair enough too – we DO want our clients to feel safe, and to know that they can share their deepest fears and desires without them ever being repeated anywhere else. The thing is though, just SAYING it is not enough. The words themselves do not create the “safe space”, you do!
How Are Ethics Created?
You, the coach, create this security through everything you do and say with your client. This includes, but is not limited to:
- The way you structure your coaching business
- How you manage your emails
- What you include in your contract
- How you manage conflict of interest
- How you collect and store client data
- How you evaluate and collect feedback
