Part 1: NBHWC Code of Ethics:
Definitions 100% Pass
NBHWC ✔✔National Board of Health & Wellness Coaching
is committed to maintaining and promoting excellence in coaching.
Therefore, NBHWC expects all credentialed health and wellness coaches (coaches, coach faculty
and mentors, and students) to adhere to the elements and principles of ethical conduct: to be
competent and integrate NBHWC Health and Wellness Coach Competencies effectively in their
work.
NBHWC Code of Ethics ✔✔Is designed to provide appropriate guidelines, accountability and
enforceable standards of conduct for all NBHWC Credential- holders. In line with the NBHWC
definition of coaching, all NBHWC Credential-holders commit to abiding by the following Code
of Ethics.
Health and Wellness Coaching ✔✔Health and Wellness Coaches partner with clients seeking
self-directed, lasting changes, aligned with their values, which promote health and wellness and,
thereby, enhance well- being.
In the course of their work health and wellness coaches display unconditional positive regard for
their clients and a belief in their capacity for change, and honoring that each client is an expert
on his or her life, while ensuring that all interactions are respectful and non-judgmental.
NBHWC Coach ✔✔A health and wellness coach certified by the NBHWC (after the National
Certification Examination is available); and who thereby agrees to practice within the NBHWC
Health and Wellness Coach Scope of Practice and Competencies and who pledges accountability
to the NBHWC Code of Ethics.
Professional Coaching Relationship ✔✔A professional coaching relationship exists when
coaching includes an agreement (including contracts) that defines the rights, roles and
responsibilities of each party.
Roles within Coaching Relationships ✔✔In order to clarify roles in the coaching relationship it
is often necessary to distinguish between the client and the sponsor. In most cases, the client and
sponsor are the same person and are therefore jointly referred to as the client.
1. Client
2. Sponsor
3. Student
4. Faculty
5. Mentor
6. Conflict of Interest
Client ✔✔The person(s) being coached. (May also be referred to as "coachee," "patient," or
"member" in some settings.)
Sponsor ✔✔The entity (including its representatives) paying for and/or arranging for coaching
services to be provided. In all cases, coaching agreements should clearly establish the rights,
roles and responsibilities for both the client and sponsor if the client and sponsor are different
people.
Student ✔✔Someone enrolled in an NBHWC-approved coach training program or working with
an NBHWC-approved faculty member or coach mentor, in order to learn the coaching process or
to develop and enhance his /her coaching skills.
Faculty ✔✔An individual who provides primary instruction/training to students enrolled in an
NBHWC-approved coach training program.
Mentor ✔✔An individual who conducts coaching skills performance audits and provides
feedback to coaching students/coaches for the purpose of developing and enhancing health and
wellness coaching skills
