Ethical situations a coach may have

Step 4) Below are several ethical situations a coach may have:
a. Is it ethical to receive a “special” price for services or goods from a client or coachee?
b. Is it ethical to date a client/coachee’s sister or brother?
c. Is it ethical to buy a car from a client/coachee who owns the only dealership in the area?
d. Is it ethical to ask a client/coachee for a ride to the airport?
e. Are there circumstances where it would be OK to have a sexual relationship with a client/coachee?
When reviewing ethical situations, coaches should consider the following elements within the coaching relationship:
• How much of a power differential is there between the coach and the other person?
• Will it be brief contact or will it be continuous or episodic contact over a long time?
• Has the relationship been permanently terminated, and does the client understand that as well?
Step 5) Select one of the ethical situations from “a” through “e” above.
Step 6) Answer the following questions below using question and answer (Q&A) format; in other words, include the original question along with your response. Within your post, support your responses with information from the background materials or reputable outside sources, and provide the full citation at the end. Use APA format for your references. Bring in your own personal experiences, readings, and research, where applicable.
• Which ethical situation did you select?
• In your opinion, would this situation be unethical? Why or why not?
• How does the element of power factor into your opinion?
• How does the element of duration factor into your opinion?
• How does the element of termination factor into your opinion?
• Are you drawing on any particular ethical framework in formulating your response (for example, the ethical frameworks introduced in ETH501)? If so, identify what that is and cite your source.
