Dr Anthony Grant, of Sydney University, Australia, has been recognised for his valued contribution to the field of coaching psychology. Today the British Psychological Society's Special Group in Coaching Psychology bestowed Dr Grant an award in recognition of outstanding professional and scientific contribution to coaching psychology.
The award will be presented at the 3rd National Coaching Psychology Conference to be held at City University London, today, Monday 17, and Tuesday 18 December 2007, organised by the British Psychological Society's Special Group in Coaching Psychology.
Dr Grant has carved a pioneering route for coaching psychology, establishing the world's first Coaching Psychology Unit in January 2000 at Sydney University, where he is director and lecturer. Anthony has coached many of Australia's leading executives and CEOs and has many thousands of hours of coach training and coaching experience. His coaching research and practice spans both national and international boundaries.
"Dr Tony Grant's doctorate thesis, 'Towards a psychology of coaching: The impact of coaching on meta-cognition, mental health and goal attainment', was one of the key catalysts for the setting up of the modern coaching psychology movement. His on-going research and development of the Solution Focused Cognitive Behavioural approach to coaching continues to influence the field of coaching psychology', says Professor Stephen Palmer, Chair of the Special Group in Coaching Psychology Conference Academic Board, 2007.
