The University of Sydney established the world’s first Masters of coaching psychology degree in 2001. USCMA (University of Sydney Coaching and Mentoring Association) was set up a year later as the place for students of the degree to meet up, share ideas, organise guest speakers, establish peer supervision groups and conferences. Almost 25 years later the degree has close to 1000 graduates and USCMA continues to be the place for students and graduates to congregate. In our post pandemic world, USCMA has established this podcast as a way to connect its members together and back to the source.
