Ethical Coaching &
Values Driven Business.
Proud member of the
ETHICAL COACHING COLLECTIVE
The coaching industry has developed a bad reputation for loose ethics and sleazy sales processes.
When considering getting into the industry, it was incredibly important to me to learn from teachers with a focus on ethics and humanity. In learning from teachers whose values align with my own and with whom I could relate.
I couldn’t be more proud to be certified by the Ethical Coaching Collective where values and ethics are at the core of our practice.
My certification through the Ethical Coaching Collective means that I am fully committed to these
Vital Skills & Ethical Standards.
Vital Skills
I coach in a way that takes into account both the conscious and unconscious minds.
I have a basic functional understanding of how the brain and nervous systems work, and my coaching can effectively guide change through the interplay of mind and body.
I have a skillset that is evidence-based.
I coach in a non-hierarchical, client-centered way, empowering the client with the awareness and tools to direct their own path and change their own minds instead of creating a dependence on me.
Ethical Standards
I do not coach without consent.
I do not sell coaching without consent.
In marketing and selling, I will treat people the way I would treat my clients: with respect, transparency, thoughtfulness, and genuine care for their well-being.
The best that anyone can be in our presence is our thoughts about them. I base all my work with clients in unconditional positive regard. If I cannot feel unconditional positive regard for someone (and that’s okay because I’m human), I refer them out to someone who can.
I understand that neither human development nor coaching happen in a social and political vacuum. I will be outspoken about my values and make business decisions that reflect them. I will never put profit above values.
I believe in every human’s capacity for healing, change and growth, and the reality of miraculous quantum change, AND I do not bypass slow, steady, repeated work and cultivation of the grounded presence it takes to stay with things that take time.
I stay fiercely awake and present to pain and suffering inherent in life and the world, but I do not let it overwhelm me and stop me from believing in the magic and fun of coaching work.
I am open to all possibilities but am dogmatic about nothing.
I don’t do gurus. I don’t do cult-y thinking. I am the best authority on me, the client is the best authority on themselves, and I do not endorse outsourcing decision-making or responsibility for how we experience the world and create our reality to anyone else.
I would rather be curious than be right.
I do not aim to be a perfect practitioner or perfect human; I aim to learn, do a little better than yesterday, and have fun.
