Who Is This For?
- Professional coaches, including team and group coaches, who want to understand the ethics of expectations in coach training
- Coach educators who want to deepen their understanding of expectations and ethics in the coach training/education space
What You Will Learn:
- Explore six essential elements that form the space for good and clear expectations.
- Identify the top 10 expectations for coach training providers and participants
- Discuss where expectations come from; how, when, and where they’re communicated; and how to keep them transparent.
- Understand how expectations are tracked throughout the learning and coaching journey.
Course Details:
How do we track expectations throughout the coaching and educational learning journey? Expectations are woven into the fabric of ethics, along with establishing and maintaining agreements.
During this 90-minute on-demand workshop, originally presented for the ICF Ethics Community of Practice, we will use classical jazz as a metaphor to uncover how the dance of collaboration between provider, participant, and the space in between invites and supports ethics.
