Ethics
All the professional bodies have their own ethics codes – ICF, EMCC, Association for Coaching … and then you add that to the complexity of working in organisations where there are lots of questions and no easy answers.

3D Ideas 839: Move
Claire writes: “Einstein says we can’t solve a problem in the frame in which created it. Many problems in organisations have been talked about around meeting room tables plenty of times. Which is why standing up or moving to a different layout or a different place can...
3D Ideas 838: Insteads
Claire writes: “We have written before about the usefulness of David Clutterbuck’s 4 Is to close a conversation together. And how it can be used to co-create some written output from a conversation when that’s useful. It’s great in appraisals. Especially for people...
3D Ideas 837: It’s Not Magic
Claire writes: “This thing we do, that we call coaching, changes lives and organisations. It’s also not magic. It’s not weird. And it’s not me doing something to you. If your experience is that’s what has happened in a conversation, be astute. A coaching style is...

3D Ideas 833: Planes 1
Claire writes: "We have learned that if we want to increase the likelihood of having transformational conversations - where someone knows something about their own stuff at the end they didn’t know at the beginning - then we must have boundaries. Just before Christmas...
3D Ideas 832: Step Back
Claire writes: "We had our first practicum of 2019 this morning - where we all coach, listen and observe. It's great learning. Someone was thinking about a situation at work and the coach asked: 'I wonder how much challenge is comfortable for them?' Asking 'how much...
3D Ideas 831: Carol Services
Su writes: “It struck me at the Carol Service last night that the startling new insights that we can get from hearing the same readings every year is very much like our 3D method of learning the same material and always learning something new and profound each...
