Ethics & Good Causes

Our aim is to enable good things to happen in the world. We are constantly developing the coaching style and techniques to enable clients to achieve success, fulfilment and personal goals in ways that are more sustainable for them and the planet. In that way we can all make a positive impact now, and leave something good for those that come after.

Here are a few things we commit to, that we’ve recently been involved in, and that we’re still doing.

Code of Ethics

Coaching Professionals adheres to the ICF Code of Ethics. This gives you the protection of knowing that everything you do with us is covered by a globally respected authorititative guide to coaching philosophy and standards of conduct.

Supporting those working for the Environment

Coaching Professionals gives time to members of Sussex Wildlife Trust. This can be used to help the members either with an environmental initiative, or on any subject they choose. Our philosophy is the more we can help them do what they want, the better they can give their support to the environment and the Wildlife Trust in the way that’s appropriate for them.

To support businesses in achieving sustainable change, and in recognition of what they have givien to Sussex Wildlife Trust, we also provide free inter-active seminars. The recent ones include "Sustainability and Innovation in business - naturally". The next one is "Sustainability - Getting buy-in from senior management".

Raising money for Good Causes

We believe in helping good causes directly. Neil and Karen recently delivered a seminar to raise money for the Redhill Carnival. Called “Making problem solving easier and enabling you to be a more effective business leader” it attracted nearly 50 local business leaders. Over £2K was raised. This went to 5 local charities.

We we also give ‘Charity Taster Sessions'. In these, potential clients get their ‘free’ coaching session on the condition that at the end of the session they write a cheque for charity. They choose which charity, and they choose how much they give. It's entirely up to them. But something is given. Charities that have recently benefited include Age Concern, the British Red Cross, the Multiple Sclerosis Society, and Orbit Shed Inclusive Theatre Company.

Doing the little things...

We want to also take practical steps to be environmentally and socially friendly. So if we print it's normally on recycled paper. All unwanted paper is recyled, as are printer cartridges. The office lights are low energy. When we buy goods and services we prefer to use local suppliers. And when there's an option we prefer to take the train.
