104 Sara Priestley - Ethics, Cults and Coaching Integrity -

The Coaching Life

Ethics, Cults and Coaching Integrity In a necessary conversation for all coaches and service professionals, Sara and Phil talk in-depth about ethics, cults, integrity, and how important it is for us to be aware of unhealthy aspects of our desires to help others. Topics of conversation include: * When and when not to share our writing. * Embellishment on social media. * The power dynamics between a coach and client, and the required care and awareness of these dynamics. * Unhealthy aspirations and how some teachings can distance us from ourselves. * The importance of expressing emotions. * The ethics of charging and being transparent with costs of time, energy and money. * Non-duality - what is it? What use is it? * The role of a coach in this exploration. * Manipulation and cult-like behaviour in some communities. * What are the elements of a cult, what’s the appeal and how do people end up involved in them. * What specifically do coaches need to be aware of, to ensure they operate with integrity? Here’s a little more about Sara: Sara brings a wealth of experience to her work as a coach and spiritual mentor. She firmly believes in empowerment and support. She has a focus on our true self, learning to love all of ourselves, and gently disentangling anything that gets in the way. She is also an advocate for those who've been through cult-like groups, and is a special advisor to the Association for Spiritual Integrity. You'll find her in her garden shed with at least a couple of cats, a big mug of coffee, and always open to chat. You can connect with Sara here: https://www.sarapriestley.com/
