Editorial policy

Lively Coaching Guide aims to make coaching practice easier to examine without presenting opinion as settled fact or a conversational technique as a guarantee.

Accuracy and care

We check factual statements and explain terms in context. Where an article discusses an approach or interpretation, we make clear that it is a perspective rather than a universal rule. We do not invent evidence, credentials, quotations or experiences. Readers should not treat our material as therapy, crisis assistance or a replacement for relevant professional guidance.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions are made for reader relevance and clarity, not to promise favourable coverage. Any paid, sponsored or partner material is clearly labelled at the point of publication, and commercial involvement does not guarantee an editorial endorsement.

Corrections and illustrations

If a reader spots a material error, they can contact us with the article and the detail in question. We review correction requests and amend copy when warranted. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; where relevant, they are identified so readers can distinguish illustrative imagery from documentary material.
