The Coaching for Complexity Wiki ("the Wiki") is a collaborative platform where users can share and exchange knowledge about coaching strategies, theories, and practices for addressing complex challenges. Our goal is to create an inclusive, respectful, and constructive environment where users can learn and grow together. To help achieve this goal, all users are expected to adhere to this User Code of Conduct ("Code of Conduct").

Contents

1. Be respectful and inclusive

Treat all wiki users as humans. We all have parents and grandparents. Most of us have siblings and children, cousins, uncles, and aunties. A lot of us have pets or had pets at one time or another. Use respect and dignity as guide posts when dealing with other humans on wiki regardless of their background, identity, or experience. Be mindful of your language and behavior, and avoid making offensive or derogatory comments. Encourage and support diverse perspectives, and actively work to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and valued.

2. Contribute constructively

Share your knowledge, expertise, and experiences in a way that is helpful, relevant, and informative. When offering feedback or suggestions, do so in a constructive and respectful manner. Avoid posting repetitive or irrelevant content, and refrain from promoting your own products or services for commercial gain.

3. Collaborate openly and honestly

Work collaboratively with other users and be open to receiving feedback and suggestions. Acknowledge the contributions of others and give credit where it is due. Be honest and transparent about your intentions and motivations, and avoid engaging in any deceptive or manipulative practices.

4. Maintain a respectful tone

Keep your interactions on the Wiki respectful and focused on the subject matter. Avoid using offensive or inappropriate language, making personal attacks, or engaging in any form of harassment or discrimination.

4**.1 – Harassment**

This includes any behaviour intended primarily to intimidate, outrage or upset a person, or any behaviour where this would reasonably be considered the most likely main outcome. Behaviour can be considered harassment if it is beyond what a reasonable person would be expected to tolerate (given the cultural context and expectations of the people involved). Harassment often takes the form of emotional abuse, especially towards people who are in a vulnerable position. In some cases, behavior that would not rise to the level of harassment in a single case can become harassment through repetition. Harassment includes but is not limited to:

• Insults: This includes name calling, using slurs or stereotypes, and any attacks based on personal characteristics. Insults may refer to perceived characteristics like intelligence, appearance, ethnicity, race, religion (or lack thereof), culture, caste, sexual orientation, gender, sex, disability, age, nationality, political affiliation, or other characteristics. In some cases, repeated mockery, sarcasm, or aggression may constitute insults collectively, even if individual statements would not. (Note: The terms “race” and “ethnicity” are included here as prohibited ways to distinguish people.
• Sexual harassment: Sexual attention or advances of any kind towards others where the person knows or reasonably should know that the attention is unwelcome.
• Threats: Explicitly or implicitly suggesting the possibility of physical violence, unfair embarrassment, unfair and unjustified reputational harm, or intimidation by suggesting gratuitous legal action to win an argument or force someone to behave the way you want.
• Encouraging harm to others: This includes encouraging someone else to commit self-harm or suicide as well as encouraging someone to conduct violent attacks on a third party.
• Disclosure of personal data (Doxing): sharing other contributors’ private information, such as name, place of employment, physical or email address without their explicit consent.
