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. 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 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. Her efforts focus on creating sustainable, trauma-informed, multicultural organizations that employ anti-oppressive and inclusive practices, policies, and processes, fostering successful, humanistic individuals. 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. You can also invite a non-member who might like to learn more about SCP by having them complete a registration form as well.

SCP September 2024 Town Hall Meeting

Do you want to publish a professional book? Tips from our Consulting Series editor. Our September Town Hall Focus: Empowering Community Leaders to Rise Above Toxic Polarization We work with individual leaders, teams, departments, and even help entire organizations change. 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.

Do you want to publish a professional book? Tips from our Consulting Series editor. 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.

SCP Business Development Group

SCP Business Development Group Friday, November 8, 2024 12:00 EST Cost: $0 The Society of Consulting Psychology is announcing a new special interest group: The SCP Business Development Group! (Facilitator) Lubna Somjee, Ph.D. Executive Coach and Consultant Anytime I have attended a conference, town hall or other SCP meeting, the issue of business development has come up more times than not. People are often eager to talk about what works - and what doesn’t - when it comes to growing one’s business! Whether you are early career and starting out, or mid to late career and pivoting to new industries or approaches to your business, so many of us are eager to discuss this important topic. Some of us have mentors who have worked with us closely to guide us through building a business, but many of us have not had that opportunity. The SCP Business Development Group is a way for anyone interested in learning and sharing about business development to participate and genuinely support each others’ efforts - and get to know each other better. Why am I doing this? I originally did something very similar for a group I founded in 2019 (the Professionals of Color Hudson Valley), and then facilitated business development groups for other organizations. I firmly believe we go further when we go together and that it is important to close the information and opportunity gap. This is one small step towards this end. What: The Business Development Group will meet approximately four times a year for one hour and will include a structured format whereby members can obtain support around specific questions or pain points regarding the continued growth or shift of their business. Questions or pain points can include areas such as discussing marketing, new program for clients, how to be a stronger speaker, breaking into certain industries, networking, and so forth. Every so often we may have themes for meetings, or will invite speakers or a guest co-facilitator with varying areas of expertise. Given the time frame, we hope to get to at least 3 questions during each meeting. Who: This group is for anyone within SCP: interested in discussing a specific business challenge or pain point you would like to obtain feedback or actionable advice from your colleagues/the attendees, interested in supporting your colleagues who have business development questions by providing feedback or concrete advice, based on your experiences and expertise, and/or interested in business development conversation - you never know when something someone said might spark an adjacent idea for your own business, or a collaboration! Please note for some, sharing a business challenge is effortless and for others it can feel quite vulnerable. We are asking that challenges or pain points shared by individuals during this meeting be kept confidential. This is required in order to participate and critical to the success of this group. Please also note that we cannot discuss the specifics of fees during the actual meeting as this could be misconstrued as price fixing. When: Our first meeting will be Friday November 8th from noon-1pm EST Where: Via Zoom I will be facilitating the group so if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. Looking forward to it! Learning Objectives Attendees will walk away with practical ideas regarding business development or insights into what they need to be thinking about in relation to their business challenge. Attendees would also be giving back by supporting colleagues with practical ways to deal with business challenges from their experience and perspectives. Members getting to know each other better. Please note I will facilitate and share thoughts but will not be formally presenting material. From time to time I, or guest co-facilitators, may present on business development topics. Please let me know if you have questions or need any additional info.
