Using a case study approach, this book presents the first comprehensive look at ethical and legal issues in executive and personal coaching. From coach- client conflicts to conflict of interest and from assessments to informed consent, it covers the breadth of ethical quandaries that coaches face. It provides highly practical advice for avoiding problems--and for solving them when they inevitably arise. Equally applicable to coaches pursuing any specialty, the book is designed to be used as both a professional reference and as a textbook in any accredited coach training program.
