SKIN IN THE GAME Coaching Manifesto

There are only a few ground rules but CONFIDENTIALITY is one of them. 

I want you to feel safe, seen, heard, and valued. 

The code of ethics of coaching guarantees absolute confidentiality.  

As a UC Berkeley Executive Leadership Coach, I am committed to achieving and maintaining the maximum academic rigor and levels of education and certification (ICF) that allow for control and audits of my performance and my adherence to the Code of Ethics as applied to the profession of Coaching & Consulting.  

1. Deep Listening & Inquisitiveness

2. Unconditional Positive Regard

3 Zero Judgement 

4. Committed to creating Racial & Social Equity. 

5. STRATEGY-oriented

6. EXECUTION-oriented

7. LONG TERM IMPLEMENTATION & HABIT FORMATION-oriented

8. Application of a wide array of Coaching Modalities for individuals, groups & companies, including 1:1s, team building seminars, group coaching, masterminds, VIP days & Retreats.

** HOGAN Assessments are available upon request. 

Coaching is not equal to or similar to: 

1. Consulting

2. Mentoring

3. Teaching

4. Therapy

The Theory of Coaching holds the assumption that the Client/Coachee harbors the answers to each and all questions about their lives and goals inside of them. 

Therefore, we do not advise, suggest command, or judge in any shape, way, or form. 

However, in case a Client/Coachee specifically asks for advice or suggestions of any kind, it is possible for the coach -- and only with the strict permission of the Client/Coachee -- to take on a Consulting or Mentoring role for a brief moment in the Coaching Session. However, it is not deemed to be part of the regular coaching dynamic, nor is it desirable for this to occur habitually or frequently. 

SKIN IN THE GAME Coaching & Consulting LLC  is proud to be a Social Business. This implies that part of our profits will be routinely donated to The Southern Poverty Law Center, a 501c3 that provides legal counsel to victims of hate crimes, extremism, and racism.

In addition, Pro Bono Coaching hours are available upon request for At-Risk Youth in need of extra support. 

Last but not least, Coaching should be FUN!  Playfulness, Empathy, Compassion, Humor, Authenticity, Kindness, and a desire to be of service are all unmissable parts of what great Coaching should look like. 

As a coach and person, I am committed to your uttermost well-being & success and therefore, your voice, vision, mission, and core values are at the core of my operations.
