SCP June 2024 Town Hall Meeting
June 24, 2024
6:00-7:00 EST
We invite you to attend a monthly one hour Town Hall via zoom hosted by Marc Sokol, our 2024 SCP President. This is an opportunity to come together as a professional community, to share your experience and discover that of other SCP members. Each month we will start with a topic of interest featuring some aspect of our society. We will then open it up to wider discussion of any topics those online wish to bring up.
2024 Town Halls meetings will feature an array of topics including:
- How did mentors shape the progress of your career?
- How can peer coaching raise your game as a consultant?
- Best consulting practices from a member of our Financial Psychology Special Interest Group
- Consulting to the United Nations and how you can contribute
- How consulting to a family business is different (we have a Special Interest Group for that!)
- Do you want to publish a professional book? Tips from our Consulting Series editor.
Our June Town Hall Focus
Consulting to small, family and other closely held businesses
Many of us discover the world of consulting psychology working with large firms, offering services as part of their talent management suite of services, or holding some internal role. While there are similarities when consulting to small businesses, family firms and other closely held businesses, there are also significant differences to which savvy consultants pay attention. Our guests this month, Mark Sirkin and Sunni Lampasso, each have experience working in both large firms as well as nontraditional settings and can help us explore differences that can matter to consulting success. They have recently launched an SCP SIG (special interest group) on consulting to small and family businesses. Come join us for this town hall focused on how you have been and can be successful working with small, family and other closely held businesses.
