In this presidential address, I want to push beyond what we accomplished at the 2008 International Counseling Psychology Conference (ICPC) by linking together three big ideas: first, the movement to internationalize psychology; second, the movement to identify and codify standards of professional competence; and third, the dispositions of successful 21st-century leaders. The first two trends are occurring at the same time in psychology and, for that matter, in the larger world. The connection between these two forces in psychology may not be immediately obvious; yet, their interconnection has captured my attention. For the past several years, I have been involved actively in the efforts toward both greater internationalization of counseling psychology and the competency movement, yet these efforts have been living in separate parts of my being. The focus of my presidential address has been to integrate these worlds within myself and, from this place of greater integration, share my perspectives and concerns. If the internationalization and delineation of professional competence are not better integrated, I fear that U.S.-based psychology will become more isolated from psychology around the world, as psychology around the world becomes more connectedconcern that has been voiced by others writing about international issues in psychology (Arnett, 2008;Cole, 2006).
