Leveraging APPEAR Framework for Ethical Decision Making
| Terry Maltbia & Jonathan Passmore Leveraging APPEAR Framework for Ethical Decision Making Abstract: This session explores the application of the APPEAR framework in the context of coaching in situations where the dynamics of race are present. Specifically, integrating ideas from 2 chapters in The Ethical Coaches Handbook (Chapters 5 and 20), the 6-steps that comprise the framework will be presented, followed by 2 race-based case examples. While the complexities of ethical decision-making in coaching practice are omnipresent, this is especially true in situations that involve race that often trigger fear of making a mistake, leading to avoiding the issue altogether. This form of ethical decision making requires a transformation from self-talk focused “I’m not a racist” or “I’m not ignorant,” to “I’m just human” and can learn my way through this situation to the benefit of my own professional development as a coach, the client, and other relevant stakeholders. Various reflective practices will be shared that guide the process of transformative learning and ethics. |
