Privacy:

The client can, at any point in the coaching session, declare his/her preference not to discuss a specific issue by simply stating that they would rather not discuss this issue. The coach agrees to respect this boundary and will not attempt to forward the conversation further along those lines.

Confidentiality:

All information about the coach/client relationship will remain strictly confidential except in very rare circumstances where decreed by law, i.e. where the court might issue a subpoena for the file or information.

If you wish for me as your coach to speak to someone outside our interactions, then you need to give me written permission (original letter, fax or email to do so. Exceptions to confidentiality, of course, relate to circumstances such as intent to seriously harm someone, child abuse, etc. Otherwise, all your information is confidential.

It is also important to note that in some situations, it is important to be aware of the use of technology in that for some clients, there is a risk in using certain media such as the internet, mobile phones and cordless phones. If you use these to communicate with me, then I will assume that it is appropriate to continue to do so in my interactions with you.
