What is the International Coach Federation?

The International Coach Federation is the professional association of personal and business coaches that seeks to preserve the integrity of coaching around the globe. ICF helps people find the coach most suitable for their needs. It supports and fosters development of the coaching profession; has programs to maintain and upgrade the standards of the profession; conducts a certification program that is the gold standard for coaches worldwide; and conducts the world's premier conference and other educational events for coaches. ICF is the largest non-profit professional association worldwide of personal and business coaches with more than 5000 members and 179 chapters in 30 countries. They exist to: Build, Support & Preserve the Integrity of the Coaching Profession. It is the immediate goal of the ICF to take their organization to the next level and become a strong (and unified) voice for the coaching profession and provide ever increasing value for its members.

The ICF Philosophy of Coaching

The International Coach Federation adheres to a form of coaching that honours the client as the expert in his/her life and work, believes that every client is creative, resourceful, and whole. Standing on this foundation, the coach's responsibility is to:

Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve
Encourage client self-discovery
Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies
Hold the client responsible and accountable

The ICF Pledge of Ethics

As a professional coach, I acknowledge and agree to honour my ethical obligations to my coaching clients and colleagues and to the public at large. I pledge to comply with ICF Standards of Ethical Conduct, to treat people with dignity as independent and equal human beings, and to model those standards with those whom I coach. If I breach this Pledge of Ethics or any ICF Standards of Ethical Conduct, I agree that the ICF in its sole discretion may hold me accountable for so doing. I further agree that my accountability to the ICF for any breach may include loss of my ICF membership or my ICF credentialing.

The ICF Standards of Ethical Conduct

1. I will conduct myself in a manner that reflects well on coaching as a profession and I will refrain from doing anything that harms the public's understanding or acceptance of coaching as a profession.
2. I will accurately identify my level of coaching competence and I will not overstate my qualifications, expertise or experience as a coach.
3. I will ensure that my coaching client understands the nature of coaching and the terms of the coaching agreement between us.
4. I will not intentionally mislead or make false claims about what my client will receive from the coaching process or from me as their coach.
5. I will respect the confidentiality of my client's information, except as otherwise authorized by my client, or as required by law.
6. I will obtain informed permission from each of my clients before releasing their names as clients or references or any other client identifying information.
7. I will be alert to noticing when my client is no longer benefiting from our coaching relationship and would be better served by another coach or by another resource and, at that time, I will encourage my client to make that change.
8. I will seek to avoid conflicts between my interests and the interests of my clients.


The ICF Definition of Coaching

Professional Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Coaching accelerates the client's progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are now and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be in the future, recognizing that results are a matter of the client's intentions, choices and actions, supported by the coach's efforts and application of the coaching process.
