Energy Coaching Standards

ENERGY COACHING STANDARDS

Energy Coaching is a process in which the Coach (That’s me!, Stacy) is a strategic partner of the Client (That’s You!) to explore and shift the energetic resonance of your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviors that challenge, limit or block you from your desires, intentions, goals and actions.

Coaching is client-focused and client-driven with you choosing your priorities and concrete actions. The coach honors the client as the expert in his/her life and work, and believes you are creative, resourceful and whole. You are in the driver’s seat of your own life and invite the coach along as the passenger to partner with you in achieving your life vision with an energy-based approach.

The coach serves to provide the optimal space for self-awareness and self-healing, bring an energetic perspective, create focus, clarify intention, motivate, and build accountability through empowering you strategically while facilitating the energy-based tools needed to shift resonance.

To make a coaching relationship successful, you agree to:

Call and/or arrive at the scheduled session on-time.
Give at least a 24 hour notice if you need to reschedule, otherwise you understand you will be charged for the session.
Show up for the coaching session ready, willing, and prepared for a transformative session.
Take 100% responsibility for your energy, and the level of commitment and action you take to resonate with your desires, intentions and goals.
Be open to learning, growing and exploring new possibilities.
Smile, laugh and have fun with the process! (Yay!)

CODE OF ETHICS (Oh Boy! This is the real serious stuff. Read carefully.)

Coaches certified with the Center for Coaching Certification are trained in keeping with this Code of Ethics and each agrees to abide by these ethics and their intent.

The Client understands that the Coach is not an attorney, an accountant, a therapist, a psychologist, nor a medical doctor, and does not give advice, medical, legal, tax, accounting or other outside of the scope of coaching expertise. The client is hereby advised to seek outside professional advice or assistance as they may deem appropriate.

Client Focused:

The Coach recognizes that each client is a competent person with the right and capability to determine their own priorities, goals and action steps. The coaching process is focused on empowering the client. Each client chooses when to enter a coaching relationship, communicates in a way that is comfortable to them, chooses their primary focus during coaching, and chooses when to end the coaching relationship.

Confidentiality:

The Coach ensures all coaching sessions are private, and the confidentiality of the client is protected by the coach; records, notes and files are kept private and the coach does not discuss the client or the content of client sessions. For training purposes, general examples that do not allow for identification of a client are used.

A Coach must disclose information brought to his/her attention that an elderly person, or a person with disabilities, or a child under the age of eighteen (18) has been physically abused or neglected, or of a threat of harm to oneself or another.

Scope of Process:

The Coach recognizes that the coaching process is different in nature from mental health services and coaching does not cross over into mental health services through the use of analyzing, assessing, diagnosing, or giving advice. The Coach clearly communicates the nature of coaching to the client and maintains clear boundaries. The client is fully empowered through coaching to determine their own best course of action. The Coach shall end the coaching process if it is reasonably concluded that there is a need for mental health services.

Integrity:

The Coach conducts themselves with integrity at all times. The Coach sets and maintains clear and moral personal boundaries, treats the client and their information with confidentiality and respect, and ensures consistency in their behavior, treatment of clients, and communication.

Respect:

The Coach fully respects their client by ensuring client self-determination, clear communication, confidentiality, moral personal boundaries, and consistent treatment. The Coach respects and honors their clients’ time by setting and keeping appointments, establishing clear boundaries for communication between appointments, clearly communicating rates, payment process and commitment timelines, and treating their client with positive esteem.

Honesty:

The Coach is truthful in all communications, public and private, verbal and written, both in intent and providing information.
