Coaching Supervision
Corporate Executive Coaches and Executive Coaches who join ACEC are at the mastery level in their career and are therefore well qualified to select the correct tools to use with their clients. They are supporters of life-long professional learning, have agreed to abide by ACEC’S code of ethics and ACEC’S high moral standing requirements.
ACEC does not take the position of knowing what is the best tool or that there is only one way for our members to support their client’s needs/goals as we are not intimately part of the client/coach relationship. ACEC’s focus is on the growth and/or the sustainability of our member’s practice and supporting our coaches in reaching the level of “enterprise-wide business partners©”
ACEC prescribes to “humility” and “sharing” to foster this tenet of membership—supporting each other. We strongly encourage each member to reach out to other members. Each member has their specialities listed on their web page (see http://acec-association.org/directory/)as well as their contact information we encourage you to reach out to each other in areas where brainstorming is wanted/needed. We also encourage members to take advantage of our “Rapid Cycle Peer-to-Peer Coaching” program (contact Eileen Broer ebroer@humandimension.org) where real-time case studies are presented and discussed.
Because our membership model respects all methodologies that are heathy for the coach and the client (including “coach consulting”) we feel that there is no need for ACEC to make coaching supervision a mandate for meeting our ethical requirements, qualifications for practice, requirements for certification, requirements for recertification and/or membership. Instead we will let each member make this a personal decision based on their professional goals/portfolio.
