Papillon MDC Inc. firmly believes that progress is made when the leader feels, believes, and thinks that confidentiality of session content is upheld at the highest level during and beyond the coaching partnership. Confidentiality also implies that the coach will not: (1) carry messages for anyone up or down the organization; (2) engage in conversations about the leader with any stakeholder during and beyond the coaching partnership; and (3) discuss progress with the leader’s manager outside the planned three-way sessions embedded in the coaching program. If the coach feels that he or she has been placed in a position wherein confidentiality can be threatened, the coaching program will be terminated without refund for the portion of the program utilized. The parameters and expectations around confidentiality are discussed at the outset with the leader and his/her manager. The leader also signs a consent form outlining the confidential nature of the coaching partnership.
Each Leader in a coaching program will have to sign a Formal Consent Form that describes how the coach will work with them, including the following expectations and treatment of confidentiality.
The issue of confidentiality has been discussed with me by my coach.
