Notes

  1. 1.

    For more background also the ethical statements from professional coach membership bodies. Some are Association for Coaching (“AC”), European Mentoring and Coaching Council (“EMCC”), International Association of Coaching, and International Coach Federation.

    International Coach Federation, pledge of ethics/code of conduct

  2. 2.

    Tim Gallwey and John Whitmore, both coming from a background as a sports coach, have each contributed much to define coaching and the role of the coach. They pointed to the coach’s recognition that the internal obstacles are often the most daunting ones to allow growth or better performance.

  3. 3.

    According to research commisioned by The Learning Curve, which was carried out by Adsum, UK, 2014, around half of the organizational coaching starts with a three-way conversation, and around 33% ends with a three-way conversation.
