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.

SCP July 2024 Town Hall Meeting

July 29, 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.

Do you want to publish a professional book? Tips from our Consulting Series editor.   Our July Town Hall Focus The role of spirituality in consulting psychology Many companies have clear expectations about managing boundaries of religion in the workplace, while some embrace religious expression as part of their core for being in business. As consultants we generally step aside of such discussions in our work. However, many see spirituality as more than religious expression, and having a valuable place in the development of leaders, teams and organizational purpose. This town hall is a dialogue about bringing spirituality and greater mindfulness to our consulting practice. How do we as consultants recognize when and how to raise the topic, create a common frame for productive discussion, and offer up activities that can surface spirituality? Joining me for this conversation is Colin Cooper, PhD. A member of SCP, she is an industrial-organizational psychologist, and author of a perspective on heart-centered organizational development that can be used to foster more openness, unity and creativity among individuals and teams. Dr. Colin Cooper is an Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychologist, Organization Development (OD) Consultant, Healer and Educator who integrates multiple worldviews, a transdisciplinary approach, and compassion into her work. She provides strategic planning, talent development, change management interventions, applied research, transformational coaching, healing, and education to private clients, organizational leaders, and members.
