Ethics and the coach's code of conduct distinguish professional support from a simple conversation. Respecting these principles is at the heart of the practices of a certified professional coach, in accordance with the international standards of the ICF (International Coaching Federation) or the Manifesto of the Centre International du Coach (CIC) and the SFAPEC (Syndicat Français des Acteurs Professionnels du Coaching).
An ethical coach acts with integrity, respect, and discretion. This implies maintaining the confidentiality of every exchange, respecting your autonomy without ever imposing solutions, and acting with transparency regarding their skills and practice.
Ethics and the code of conduct guarantee a safe framework where you can explore, test, and decide with complete confidence. They protect your journey and reinforce the quality of the support.
A professional coach does not just listen to you: they create a space where you can move forward with confidence and freedom, in agreement with the values, code of conduct, and standards recognized by the profession.
