A través de evaluar la intención se pueden detectar algunos valores. Si lo hace por falta de conocimiento o libre de alguna mala intención, entonces es posible seguir los siguientes puntos de este artículo. La pregunta aquí es: ?Qué pasa si se detecta una mala intención? Desde mi punto de vista aquí se debe evaluar si queremos seguir con el cliente o no. Recuerda que también los valores de los clientes impactan en la identidad y la integridad de tu empresa u organización.

Abordar un abuso de confianza por parte de un cliente es delicado y necesario para proteger tanto la integridad fe la relación profesional como la información confidencial. Para lo cual es relevante: 1. Evaluar la situación 2. Organizar una sesión o llamada en la cual cuides: Iniciar con Aprecio, mencionar el Incidente y el impacto, establecer los límites claros y reforzar la confidencialidad. 3.

It has happened to me that a coachee has gone too far into very personal and sensitive issues. It made me uncomfortable and in this case I stated that clearly to establish whether that was in any way linked to our objectives. If that is so than it is necessary to clarify the boundaries that we agree to respect. Otherwise, it is better to interrupt and tie the personal issue to the problem we are discussing if possible.

Setting a coaching engagement agreement before the coaching begins is a competency that professional coaches must utilize. As you partner with your client to develop the agreement, the boundaries for expectations- for coach and client- will be established. This serves as the guiding light when these types of discussions occur. During the coaching session it may be important to bring the client back to the agreement in order to reinforce expectations of each, particularly related to confidentiality.

If the client is sharing confidential information which is to help him/her coaching goal, then as per confidentiality clause, just listen it and don't record it. After the session ask the client that sharing this confidential information how it had helped him/her and assure him/her of compliance of confidentiality clause. If the client is sharing confidential information not related to his or her coaching goals, just interrupt with permission and redirect the client to the coaching goal.

Could it be the client is sharing as they are experiencing conflict between their values, organisational expectations, and their corporate responsibilities.

First and foremost, keep ICF code of Ethics in consideration and be legally safe! Understand why client is sharing all this information, is it connected to the situation they are seeking coaching on and genuinely understand the context and see how you can aid the growth in this situation. Simultaneously, make your client aware of the confidentiality agreement and set boundaries by making them aware of what is appropriate and share professional ethic! Open ended questions can help explore the matter and listen without judgement. Help client in looking at a bigger picture, redirect the discussion and bring it to a place where there is more scope to bring solution and sanctity in perspective.

In my coaching experience, it has rarely happened that a client in a managerial position has communicated sensitive data because they are well aware of the stringent confidentiality constraints. However, the few times this has occurred were when the client was in the flow of a narrative and felt secure in their safe space with their coach. In such cases, at the end of the coaching session, they are reminded to exercise absolute caution when discussing sensitive company issues, as this pertains to both the safety and seriousness of the business, as well as the individual's reputation.

Una comunicación fluida es la base de toda relación. Es preciso revisar bien si como Coach has sido lo suficientemente claro al transmitir el mensaje y si confirmaste con el cliente su comprensión. Considera para próximas relaciones: 1)Suscribir un contrato en donde se definan derechos, obligaciones, objetivos, lapsos, límites y términos de confidencialidad. 2)Efectuar una reunión para discutir el contrato. 3)Efectuar reuniones de cierre mensual para discutir posibles desviaciones del contrato y objetivos. 4)Transmitir las inconformidades en un lugar diferente al de las sesiones de trabajo habitual y tratar al cliente con mucho tacto pero firmeza a la vez, para dejar claro las posibles repercusiones de la violación de la confidencialidad.

Transparency is a value in coaching that works both ways; it applies to both the coach and the coachee. I discuss transparency from the very first session. I personally encourage open communication among peers, ensure a safe space during coaching, and emphasize the importance of not wearing any form of mask. Lastly, I make it very clear that everything discussed during coaching remains "inter nos” (between us) because I have an obligation to confidentiality. If I am told confidential information about the company where my client works, I kindly but firmly inform him that, as a coach, I have an obligation to confidentiality, and he has the same obligation towards his company. I say this politely and without expressing any judgment.

I believe that it's essential to let our clients know at the very onset of the relationship about confidentiality and what one can be transparent about. Knowledge about Professional ethics and having a high level of integrity are important for any company. However, I personally do believe in collaboration and information sharing. And like all relationships with much freedom, it comes at a price and that price is being responsible, authentic and understand ones role and privileges that come with being associated with that particular entity.

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of coaching. As you weave through the coaching sessions you will likely have an opportunity to help the client become aware of trust and integrity. But this must bubble up from the client not the coach suggesting it. This really focus on using the coaching presence to fosture reflection and self awareness in your client.

Si un cliente sigue compartiendo detalles confidenciales, confróntalo directamente y destaca la importancia de la confidencialidad para el negocio. Usa ejemplos de da?os causados por falta de discreción y enfatiza la necesidad de confianza mutua. Un contrato de confidencialidad es crucial para proteger legalmente y reforzar el compromiso; si ya existe, recuerda al cliente las consecuencias del incumplimiento. En #formacióndedirectivos es importante capacitar también en cómo tener conversaciones, cruciales y establecer límites sin afectar la relación comercial.
