ILCT was pleased to partner with DeeAnna Merz Nagel, ILCT faculty member and Director of Online Therapy Institute, to update the Ethical Framework for the Use of Technology in Coaching.
Originally published in 2011, we offer this updated White Paper to address the rapid changes in technology, and the ethical implications, especially as more and more coaches are using technology to deliver services. Professional coaching organizations have created and updated their codes of ethics but to date, these organizations have not incorporated the use of technology into the codes or guidelines to reflect best practice. This ethical framework therefore is offered as a point of reference for governing bodies, certifying organizations, and the professional coaches these bodies and organizations represent.
You can obtain the new Framework here.
