All Upcoming Events for ICF Orange County

In recent years Ethics has become a trendy topic, mostly because of the mass publicity of unethical leadership behavior. If you take a moment to think about it, ethics show up everywhere. In the line at the supermarket when someone cuts in front of you to the more extreme examples of withdrawing life support. They show up in politics every day, in economics with big companies being sued for racial discrimination and sexual harassment, and the list doesn't stop here. The dilemma of ethical decision making comes from the tension of what is best for the individual, the organization, and society. It starts with the question, "What are the morals, beliefs, and values that the decision makers hold?”

As coaches, we know every individual is unique, and his or her Right and Wrong is slightly one shade lighter or darker from our right and wrong. That makes for a lot of grey. As practicing in the field of coaching, we hopefully spent years of exploring our own biases and ethical limitations. In this session, we will focus more on how we show up as ethical coaches in not so ethical scenarios. We will share some tools of how to draw healthy boundaries and protect our reputation as well as our clients.

How to apply the ICF Code of Ethics in the context of gray ethical dilemmas? (Work with a case study)
