It is exciting to be part of the growth of coaching worldwide, but in order to be taken seriously as practitioners, coaches need to reflect, deepen and expand their knowledge of the ethical aspects of this fast-growing helping profession. That’s why we need this book!

Ethical maturity as an integral aspect of professional development for coaches is finally being given the attention it deserves in this bumper guidebook, that offers a wealth of topics and perspectives around ethical thinking in all its complexity as a key part of everyday coaching practice. Chapters on offer include topics on ethical foundations and frameworks, chapters on ethical practices and the psychological contract within coaching, a fascinating variety of topics on ‘pushing the boundaries of conventional ethical thinking’ and a set of useful case studies. I recommend this as a practical resource for coaches at all stages of training and experience who are keen to advance their professionalism and coaching maturity.” Dr Ceri M Sims Centre for Positive Psychology Associate Professor, Bucks New University Director of Positive Minds Alliance Ltd “Ethics feeling increasing confusing in the quagmire of cultural relativism and woke self-righteous imposing one way of thinking on everyone. When coach- ing others, the confusion is contagious to our clients. This collection of essays help to clear the fog. It helps us do the right thing, for the right reason in the right way.” Richard E.

I can see this book having a significant positive impact on the professionalism and ethics of coaching for decades to come.” Prof. Christian van Nieuwerburgh Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology Centre for Positive Psychology and Health RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences Dublin, Ireland “With the rise in popularity of coaching as an intervention, especially after what the world has experienced in the last few years, it has become more important that coaching psychologists particularly get clearer about their ethics and values and boundaries. With many things getting more complex, it’s more critical to get clarity for oneself. This books serves as an important guide for practitioners, containing voices and thoughts from some of the leading thinkers in the area of coaching and coaching psychology. Highly recommended.” Mongezi C Makhalima, PhD Chartered Coach (ABCCCP) South Africa “Coaches and Supervisors committed to reflective practice and their continu- ing development will welcome this book. The breadth of the inquiry both mirrors and supports the growing interest for a more considered approach to ethics as a profession and a more subtle ethi- cal-intelligence as individual practitioners. Against the backdrop of the individual and societal challenges we face, how do we move beyond the guardrails of ethical codes to find new ways of being in question together?” Ant Mitchell Chair, APECS (Association for Professional Executive Coaching & Supervision) ’ The Ethical Coaches Handbook What does it mean to be ethical as a coach?
