- Everything we discuss is completely confidential between you and me. No one else will know the contents of our meeting unless you choose to discuss it elsewhere. In the case of a sponsor, all I report is the time and date of the meetings. It is up to you if you wish to relay these discussions with them.
- As your coach my role is not to provide you with solutions but to give a framework of thinking, through carefully targeted questions, that allows you to produce your own solution and help you realise that solution by holding you to account for your decisions.
It is my intention that you leave our meeting feeling that you have gained momentum and moved towards achieving your desired outcome.
- I will pose questions on your issue designed to help you to examine the topic
- These questions are formulated in such a way as to help you (automatically) consider and reflect on the choices and options you have.
- Reflection on certain topics can sometimes create highly emotional states. This is normal and understood.
- Once I believe you have exhausted all your perceived options I may offer additional choices for you to consider. I will ask your permission to do so.
- The intention is to help you create an action plan to achieve your chosen solution and measures to monitor your progress towards your goal.
- I subscribe to the code of ethics as laid down by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council
