Ethical decision-making for coaches

Hugh Breakey
Presentation


Abstract:
This paper will look at the nuts and bolts for ethical decision-making for the coaching profession, explaining standard models of ethical decision-making from psychology, with tips and traps about how they can go wrong and right in the context of professional ethics. It will consider the extent to which coaching should be considered a profession in the ethical sense, particularly in its use of expertise and the vulnerability of those being coached.
