In my coaching sessions, confidentiality is a top priority. I ensure that all discussions, personal reflections, and insights remain private, creating a safe space for clients to express themselves without fear of judgment or leakage. Before we begin, we establish a clear agreement outlining the limits of confidentiality, ensuring transparency. Whether it’s personal challenges or career ambitions, everything stays between us unless otherwise agreed. This trust is the foundation of any meaningful coaching journey. When you know your thoughts are safe, real progress can begin. Trust the process and speak your truth—it’s where transformation happens!

Trust is the foundation of effective coaching, and confidentiality is key to building that trust. To assure clients of their privacy, start by addressing confidentiality explicitly in your coaching contract, which outlines your commitment to safeguarding their personal information. During the first session, reinforce this commitment by explaining your confidentiality policy, emphasizing that you adhere to professional ethics and integrity standards. Create a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel secure to share openly. By clearly communicating your dedication to their privacy, you help foster the trust and confidence needed for meaningful coaching conversations.

Honrar la jurisprudencia en la confidencialidad es nuestra marca. El consentimiento informado es nuestro administrador que, a través del feedback con nuestro cliente, nos compromete a caminar en un acuerdo bilateral. 

Después de años trabajando como abogada, seguidos de mi experiencia en consultoría y ahora con mi transición al mundo de la mentoría y el coaching, puedo afirmar que la confidencialidad es una norma absoluta. No existe ningún tipo de apertura si el cliente no siente que este es un espacio seguro, donde puede ser vulnerable y donde, como regla, todo lo que se diga durante la sesión será confidencial. Además de ser una norma de la ICF, es imprescindible contar con este acuerdo (tanto por escrito como verbalmente) y, más que nada, garantizar esa tranquilidad al cliente.

You can do a very simple and safe thing. Before starting any coaching path, sign a private non-disclosure document and keep one copy each (you can find many templates online). Like this, the client feels more secure and also your strategies won't be freely redistributed.
