ISPSOcoach Online Special Interest Group

10-30-2005

Dear Members,

Considerable interest was expressed in formation of a forum for members involved in, or interested in, executive coaching. You are cordially invited to join the newly-formed ISPSO Online Special Interest Group (OSIG) entitled ISPSOcoach. ISPSOcoach, moderated by Laura Crawshaw, Ph.D. is intended as a forum to support the following:

• Dialogue on current and potential contributions of psychoanalytic theory to executive coaching practice
• Announcement of coaching conferences or other events of interest to ISPSOcoach OSIG members
• Development of coaching presentations and/or publications for the greater coaching community to promote coaching from a psychodynamic perspective
• Other issues related to executive coaching as they emerge

In accordance with ISPSO's guidelines for OSIGS (see http://www.ispso.org/The ISPSO/guidelines ispso osig.htm ), ISPSOcoach is offered as a benefit to ISPSO members only. As a result, ISPSOcoach will not be listed publicly on Yahoo Group's website.

To join the ISPSOcoach OSIG, send a blank email to:

ISPSOcoach-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and follow the instructions. You will end up at a web page that gives you the choice to "Join the Group", or below that "as an alternate option, you may join the mailing list instead".

• If you click on "Join the Group", you will be required to register for a Yahoo ID and it will give you access to the message archives, setting up a profile, joining other groups and additional options.
• If you click on "Join the mailing list instead", you will immediately be signed up for the ISPSOcoach OSIG. This is a simpler option, but will not provide you access to archived messages.

To unsubscribe to the ISPSOcoach OSIG, send a blank email to:

ISPSOcoach-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

To post messages to ISPSOcoach, you can use your "reply all" function on posted messages, or you can send your message to is ISPSOcoach@yahoogroups.com. When you send an email to this address, all members will receive it.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at crawshaw@executiveinsight.com . As I have never moderated an OSIG on the Yahoo platform, I anticipate that there will be a few "kinks" to work out, and greatly appreciate your patience.

Thank you and welcome,

Laura Crawshaw, Ph.D.
