The National Committee of the interest Group in Coaching psychology recently held a strategic planning workshop in Adelaide. The main outcomes of the meeting were:

• Our Vision statement for the group is ‘excellence in Coaching’. We felt this best expressed the simple essence of our promise as psychologists to our clients and the coaching industry. it will be the theme of our activities over the next year and for our next conference in 2014.
• We will maintain our focus on our traditional audience of coaching psychologists and increase our attention on clients and buyers of coaching services. our rationale is that we should build on our strengths of strong evidence-based intervention skills and techniques and address our consistent relative weakness of marketing and promoting what we do.
• We will increase our collaboration with colleagues from the College of sport and performance psychologists and College of organisational psychologists. this is underway and whilst we have always had close connections with other psychologists and Aps Groups, this partnership will become more evident over the coming months.
