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 March Town Hall will begin with a focus on Pro Bono consulting services. As consulting psychologists, we have a broad toolkit that allows us to be of service to others in many ways. Most have us have at some point delivered services Pro Bono to organizations, teams or leaders. Perhaps you have done it as a way of giving back, perhaps because of a connection you feel for a specific organization or leader, or perhaps as a way of developing your own consulting practice. Is it a planned part of your professional portfolio or just serendipity that takes hold? In our next Town Hall meeting, we will explore the why and ways of Pro Bono consulting, even how it can elevate your own professional potential. As an added bonus we will be joined by Dr. Sara Weiner who, in addition to a fabulous consulting career, is currently Chair of SIOP’s United Nations Committee (SIOP is APA Division 14, the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology). Come join us and hear how Sara and other applied psychologists help make a contribution to the work of the United Nations. We will commence at 6:00 PM Eastern, spend part of our time in small breakout groups where you can share your own experience of Pro Bono consulting, hear others’ stories, and perhaps discover your next opportunity. We will also have some open time for anything you wish to discuss with the full group. I look forward to seeing you at our next SCP Town Hall!

How about taking the next challenging step – impacting our communities. We have all seen the poisonous impact of ‘conflict entrepreneurs’ on a national scale. They also exist in the communities where we live, making it more difficult to achieve lasting solutions to complex problems, such as how we educate our children, affordable housing, violence, and so forth. Democracies require trust, not hatred. Professionals with our skills have the antidote. Those who take up polarizing positions from the extreme left and right only represent 14% of the population but are empowered by media driven to capture eyeballs and clicks. 86% of Americans are somewhere in the political middle, willing to listen and learn. We can help give them a voice to demand better leadership and help communities establish norms of collaborative discussion. Division 13 Fellow Dana Ackley has been working in his community to do just that by co-founding the Roanoke Collaboration Project. During this town hall, he’ll share his work in ways that may give the rest of us ideas about what we might be able to contribute to our own communities. Most of us know Dana through his work and commentary about Emotional Intelligence on our listserv. He is the author of the EQ Leader Program and of the soon to be released book for the public: A Little Book to Save Humanity. See below for a schedule of Town Halls planned for the year. Members can complete the registration form once and receive monthly invites and reminders.

Our October Town Hall Focus: How Psychologists Can Address Financial Concerns of High Earning and Ultra High Net Worth Executives Every year, surveys appear highlighting the top stressors of North Americans; every year, "money" is at or near the top of most of those surveys. While the links between poverty and reductions in well-being have long been understood, less is known about the particular financial stressors affecting many affluent executives and their families. Dr. Moira Somers will facilitate a discussion on the financial concerns commonly voiced by enterprise-owning families around the globe. How do the financial prejudices or biases of consultants and executive coaches affect the quality of the work they are able to do with such clients? What is it we do as consulting psychologists that can create ‘advice that sticks”? Dr. Moira Somers is a Family Wealth Consultant and the Chief Learning Officer for Blackwood Family Enterprise Services. The author of Advice that Sticks, she consults widely on how client outcomes are directly affected by the behaviour of advice-giving professionals (including consultants, clinicians and coaches) and the implementation support they provide.
