Members of the Christian Coaches Network agree to the following Code of Professional Conduct:

As a Christian Coach:

2. I will maintain complete confidentiality with my clients, within the confines of the law.
   
   
3. I will be clear with my clients about the nature of the coaching relationship, including structure, fees, refunds, expectations and guarantees.
   
   
4. I will never give a client's name to anyone, for any purpose, without express permission.
   
   
5. I will give credit where credit is due for materials supplied by other sources, respecting copyrights, trademarks and intellectual property.
   
   
6. I will judiciously avoid conflicts of interest. If any should arise, I shall, without delay, inform concerned parties of my position.
   
   
7. I will represent myself honestly and clearly to my clients, and coach only within my areas of expertise.
   
   
8. I will actively pursue well being, wholeness, and continual learning in my own life.
   
   
9. I will refer a client to another coach if I am not within my area of expertise or comfort, so the client gets the best possible coaching.
   
   
10. I will honor my Christian values in my professional conduct, placing neither blame nor blemish on the name of Christ, the Christian Coaches Network or the coaching profession.
