ICF-ACC Exam Dumps - Associate Certified Coach (ACC Exam)

The ICF Code of Ethics (Section 3.1) defines a conflict of interest as "a situation in which a coach has a private or personal interest sufficient to appear to influence the objective exercise of their professional duties." It’s about the coach’s competing interests, not the client’s. Let’s analyze:

A. The client has so many interests that it becomes a challenge to identify clear coaching goals: This is a coaching challenge, not a conflict of interest per ICF’s definition.

B. The coach and the client cannot agree on what will serve as the client’s best interest during the coi: (Assuming "coi" is "coaching") This is a disagreement, not a conflict of interest involving the coach’s personal gain.

C. The coach serves one of their own interests that works against one of the client’s interests: This matches Section 3.1, where a coach’s personal agenda (e.g., financial gain) undermines client needs, requiring disclosure (Section 3.2).

D. The interests expressed by the client have the potential to work against the coach’s plan for the session: This is a misalignment of goals, not a conflict of interest tied to the coach’s personal benefit.

Option C best reflects ICF’s definition of a conflict of interest.
