COACHING SESSIONS

The coaching relationship, in this instance between the Coach and the Client, as well as all information, both oral and in writing, that the Client shares with the Coach as part of the coaching relationship contemplated by this Agreement, is bound by the principles of confidentiality as outlined in the ICF Code of Ethics. The parties hereto recognize that the Coach-Client relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship (such as with one’s physician or attorney), and thus, communications are not subject to the protection of any legally recognized privilege. The absence of any legally recognized principle of confidentiality shall not impair or restrict the Coach’s duty of confidentiality as outlined in the ICF Code of Ethics.

The Coach agrees that they will not disclose any information about the Client without the Client’s written permission except as permitted under the ICF Code of Ethics. The Coach will not disclose the Client’s name as a reference without the Client’s signed authorization.
