Renewing your ICF Membership? Don’t just tick the box! Exploring the ICF Code of Ethics

Many of us have received the ICF membership renewal email.
The process is simple: click the link, accept the terms,
select your currency and branch, and pay. If everything runs
smoothly, it takes about five minutes—as long as you
remember your password and don’t overthink “What do I
get for my money?” (That’s a topic for another day! )


However, we encourage you NOT to just tick the box on the
terms and conditions. Of course, my mum always said,
“Never sign something you haven’t read.” But more
importantly, when you check that box, you’re agreeing to abide
by the ICF Code of Ethics and uphold the Core Values and
Ethical Principles.


When was the last time you read the Code?


This isn’t clickbait—“Breaking news: Coaches refuse to sign
the Code of Ethics!” Instead, it’s an invitation to pause,
reflect, and reaffirm the principles that guide our practice
as professional coaches.


Therefore, join us this week on the Coaching Café, as
Natalie and Paula explore the ICF Code of Ethics and
discuss how it shapes ethical coaching practices. Take
this opportunity to revisit the Code, reflect on its meaning, and
strengthen your commitment to professional coaching. We will
explore:
Why the ICF Code of Ethics matters
How to apply ethical principles in coaching
The role of Core Values in professional practice
Key takeaways for coaching integrity


Don’t just tick the box—explore what it means to be an ethical
coach!
