Do the Right Thing: Ethical Dilemmas for Coaches

Coaching is a fantastic profession, but even coaches run into sticky professional situations that can lead to big problems.

• What do you do if a major newspaper calls you for a quote about one of your clients? That could mean fantastic free marketing for you, but is it ethical for you to discuss your client publicly?
• And what should you do if your client in Hong Kong threatens to harm his next door neighbor? Do you have an obligation to notify local authorities?
• And what if you and your client fall in love? Is it ethical for you to become romantically involved, even if you end the business relationship first?

You might be surprised by the answers.
