This paper aims to address the wider role of coaching psychology by showing how:

1. The coaching profession is entering a new realm of coaching consciousness that is beyond the current state of engagement - that is - transpersonal coaching psychology.

2. Transpersonal coaching can be grounded in transpersonal psychology.

3. Transpersonal coaching psychology can be used to lever social change that could have a significant impact upon our environment.

The above is based on our contributions to the 2nd European Coaching Psychology Conference’s symposium entitled ‘Transpersonal Coaching Psychology and the Environment’ in December 2009. The paper also forms a continuous dialogue in response to Outhwaite and Bettridge’s (2009) call for coaching to be used as a means to meet an organisation’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as well as an individuals’ psychological, cultural and spiritual needs.

Keywords: coaching; corporate social responsibility; development leadership; transpersonal coaching psychology; transpersonal psychology; transformation; universal integrative framework.
