以下是ICF规定的专业教练的11项核心能力，同样也是我在2010年撰写一本教练课程手册时翻译的，当然也同样是非常好的学习及参考资料。此文值得专业教练反复研读，对于其他对教练技术感兴趣的朋友们，这也是一份很好的学习资料。

ICF PROFESSIONAL COACHING CORE COMPETENCIES

 ICF职业教练核心能力

（翻译：陈绰）

The following eleven core coaching competencies were developed to support greater understanding about the skills and approaches used within today’s coaching profession as defined by the ICF. They will also support you in calibrating the level of alignment between the coach-specific training expected and the training you have experienced. 以下是ICF所确定的职业教练的11项核心能力，可以帮助加深您对ICF所定义的目前的职业教练所使用的技术及方法的理解，同时还可以帮助您衡量教练培训课程与您所上的培训课程之间的匹配程度。

Finally, these competencies were used as the foundation for the ICF Credentialing process examination. The core competencies are grouped into four clusters according to those that fit together logically based on common ways of looking at the competencies in each group. The groupings and individual competencies are not weighted – they do not represent any kind of priority in that they are all core or critical for any competent coach to demonstrate. 最后，这些能力是ICF认证考试的基础。这些核心能力按逻辑相关性分为4大项，各大项及各单项均没有重要性之分——没有任何优先顺序，因为对任何合格的教练来说，这些都是需要具备的核心而关键的能力。

以下是ICF规定的专业教练从业人士需遵守的道德准则，是我在2010年撰写一本教练课程手册时翻译的，当时感觉收获颇多。此文不仅适合专业教练研读，同时也适合教练服务的需要方在选择专业教练时做为参考。推荐大家仔细阅读。

ICF Code of Ethics

ICF道德准则

（翻译：陈绰）

Part One: Definition of Coaching 第一部分：教练的定义

Section 1: Definitions 第一节：定义

• Coaching: Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. 教练：教练是一种与客户的伙伴关系，在这种关系中，教练通过一个激发思考、创造性的过程，去激励客户最大化地挖掘其个人及职业上的潜能。
• A professional coaching relationship: A professional coaching relationship exists when coaching includes a business agreement or contract that defines the responsibilities of each party. 职业教练关系：当教练关系中建立了用以确定各方责任的商业协议或合同时，职业教练关系就成立了。
• An ICF Professional Coach: An ICF Professional Coach also agrees to practice the ICF Professional Core Competencies and pledges accountability to the ICF Code of Ethics. ICF职业教练：ICF的职业教练同时还同意达到ICF核心职业能力的标准，并宣誓遵守ICF道德准则的要求。

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 therefore jointly referred to as the client. For purposes of identification, however, the International Coach Federation defines these roles as follows: 为了明确教练关系中的角色，经常要对客户和发起人进行区分。在大数情况下，客户和发起人是同一个人，那么就可以一并称为客户。但是，为了区分清楚，ICF对这些角色定义如下：

• Client:  The “client” is the person(s) being coached. 客户：“客户”指的是被教练者。
• Sponsor: The “sponsor” is the entity (including its representatives) paying for and/or arranging for coaching services to be provided. “发起人”指的是安排教练服务以及/或者为此付费的机构（包括其代表处）。

In all cases, coaching engagement contracts or agreements should clearly establish the rights, roles, and responsibilities for both the client and sponsor if they are not the same persons. 在任何情况下，如果客户及发起人不是同一人的话，教练合约或协议应该清楚地规定双方的权利、角色、以及责任。
