The coach authorizes himself to carry out his functions in accordance with his knowledge, experience, and regularly updated training.
He undertakes to use all his skills to help the client resolve his problems and to inform him if his problems go beyond his fields of competence.
The coach finally undertakes to inform his client if he considers that there is no more benefit to be drawn from the coaching relationship and to encourage him to terminate it if necessary.

Contract

The mission of coaching is specified by a contract containing the objective and framework of the mission (duration, progress, rates) as well as the desired degree of confidentiality.

Confidentiality

The coach is bound by professional secrecy. He undertakes not to reveal any information passed on by his client, except if given the client’s express authorization or when obliged by law.

Respect of the people and the laws

The accompaniment of the client is done by taking into account his environment and the context. The coach decides on actions which are in his client’s interest, but also takes into account the interest of the system in which his client takes part.
The coach refrains himself from exercising any abuse of influence and makes every effort to avoid a conflict of interest.
He also refuses to help his client carry out an illegal action. Finally, the coach never takes a decision on behalf of his client. The responsibility of the decisions is always left to the client.

Refusal or interruption of mission

The coach can refuse a mission in all honesty.
The coach can interrupt a mission in consultation with the client or the client's company if he considers the conditions for success are no longer met.

Supervision

The coach undertakes to appeal to a supervisor when necessary, i.e. to have a person of reference to whom he can turn if the situation requires it (when the client’s problems make some of the coach's personal difficulties resurface or when the coach feels that he needs to step back from his relationship with his client).
