I personally consider every aspect of coaching to be highly confidential, and will never be discussed with anyone for any reason. What this means is that any form of communication or information expressed during any given coaching session will never be communicated to any third-party without prior written consent by the client. There are, however, two extremely rare exceptions: one, if the client, by the coach’s estimation, becomes a danger to themselves or to another individual, and two, if a court of law directly orders the coach to divulge such information to the court. In addition, the client agrees to the disclosure of their name and email address to the International Coach Federation for the purpose of the coach needing to officially document their coaching hours. The client will never be contacted by the ICF except for the possibility of confirming the documented hours.
