Managing ethics online: a relational perspective

Rachel Hawley & Eve Turner
Presentation and Discussion

Abstract:
The purpose of this session is to contribute to the understanding and practice of managing ethics when coaching virtually. In contrast to earlier work, where the focus has been primarily cast on issues such as artificial intelligence, we place emphasis on the relational perspective, to explore ethical issues for managing ethics online. The issues explored in our session are guided by findings from our relational research using focus group discussion with coaches and coach supervisors. The organisation of our discussion is framed around the following areas; the ethics of preparation; the ethics of process; the ethics of relations; and the ethics of diversity and inclusion in a global context. 
In this session we share the findings from our relational research managing ethics online. We then explore key issues for managing ethics online using case studies.ent backgrounds, serving multiple stakeholders, and dealing with systemic and planetary challenges.

Dr Rachel Hawley is a researcher, storyteller and relational coach who is co-author of Values and Ethics in Coaching (Sage, 2017). Her doctoral study, at Sheffield Hallam University is on relational leadership in the NHS.

Eve Turner is a global coach and supervisor, co-author or co-editor of 4 books including “The Ethical Coaches’ Handbook,” writing extensively on ethics, contracting and systemic working.  She is one of the 3 co-founders of the CCA and co-founded the Global Supervisors’ Network.
