1.6 Coaching is a bespoke support framework aimed at bringing people towards autonomy and dynamic changes. It is a construction process based on information, conversation and exercises. This process is based on a collaborative partnership, it is guided by goals that are defined from the start. It allows the “Coachee” to develop their full potential, know-how and interpersonal skills to better adapt to his professional environment
1.7 Role of the coach : the Coach suggests points that will help the “Coachee” to position themself. The Coach accompanies down a path that leads the person to taking the necessary steps to make these changes happen. Unlike an advisor, the Coach refrains from spelling out solutions and accompanies the “Coachee” into developing their own responses. Abstaining from giving advice and solutions doesn’t apply in the case of Home Organising, Positive Parenting, non-violent communication, time management since these are based on learning tools rather than in the sense of NLP coaching.
2. Work Ethics of the Coach
2.1 Respect and confidentiality in coaching sessions: Sessions remain confidential. Notes are kept under lock and key during 3 years after the last appointment unless the client specifically requests in writing that notes be destroyed.

3.2 Dialogue : a coaching session is a moment that allows for trust, transparency, authenticity, constructive feedback and other values that allow a deeper connection to oneself. For this reason a session for an underage person will face the coach alone to allow them to be open. The content of these appointments will remain confidential between the teenager and the coach as it would be for adults unless the teenager gives specific authorisation to communicate content to their parent.
