As a member of the International Coaching Federation, I share and abide by their core values as stated below:
The International Coaching Federation’s (ICF) revised expression of its organizational core values memorialize what it means to represent the highest standards of professional coaching. These universal values empower, inspire and unite all of us as ICF Members, Credential-holders and believers of coaching worldwide.
These core values are more than just words on paper and screen. They are what each of us live every day, a reflection of who we are as the global leader of the coaching industry.
With these practical and aspirational Core Values, we look to you to uphold ICF’s mission of making coaching an integral part of a thriving society as all of us together seek to lead the global advancement of the coaching profession and empower the world through coaching.
