USCMA Connect
Podcast Description
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.

Erin Buttermore is a Hobart-based strategy consultant and executive coach with a rich 20+ year career spanning export trade, climate change, tourism, education, international relations, and skilled migration. She’s held senior roles across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Erin is particularly passionate about leadership, organisational behaviour, decision-making, and behavioural economics.
She holds a Master of Science in Coaching Psychology from the University of Sydney, an MBA in Policy Management, and other business qualifications. Her coaching integrates cutting-edge research, practical leadership experience, and mindfulness (she’s also a certified vinyasa yoga teacher).
Erin is currently pursuing PhD research with Dr. Gordon Spence exploring how perceived organisational support and psychological capital relate to the impostor phenomenon—a topic she has both personally experienced and deeply studied. Her work challenges the notion that impostorism is an individual flaw, instead framing it as a systemic, organisational issue that demands more nuanced and evidence-based coaching interventions.
