SCP October 2024 Town Hall Meeting

October 28, 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 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. 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. Time: 6:00-7:00 Eastern  Dates:  Monday, October 28 -- Moira Somers “Advice that sticks!” who previously led our Financial Psychology SIG Monday, Nov 25 -- Larry Norton and Ann Howell, "How AI and other technologies are transforming consulting psychology” Monday, Dec 16 -- Christine Allen, "Team coaching and team dynamics” Saturday, Jan 13 -- TBD

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.

Personality Strengths as Your Career Brand

The Career Branding Exercise (CBE) is an innovative methodology designed to help people understand themselves and communicate their personal brand in simple accurate language. The model is based upon interpreting the Big Five Model from a strength psychology perspective. The goal of the exercise is to turn a personality strength into a professional distinction. By the end of the session, participants will write a memorable, meaningful and concise (seven word) statement that captures the essence of who they are. It is critical that participants experience the CBE and develop their own branding statement. Going through the process themselves will allow them to speak to clients from a first-person perspective.

The Science of Effective Coaching

PRESENTED BY DR. RICHARD BOYATZIS Great coaches move us. They move us through a basic human process—our emotions. Effective coaches are literally in tune with others around them, establishing a deep emotional connection with others called resonance. They nurture these resonant relationships through mindfulness, hope, compassion, and playfulness. The combined effect of vision-based coaching and resonant client relationships results in dramatically more effective coaching experiences. MORE INFO & REGISTRATION

Coaching Elite Performers

This 90-minute presentation focuses on (1) many of the intra and interpersonal dynamics most effective in achieving credibility and influence with elite performers and (2) a conceptual system for the integration of coaching investigations and interventions. Though case examples include a focus on elite military members (Special Forces, Marine Raiders, etc.) the principles presented are powerful when applied to the coaching of any uniquely talented, intellectually bright, aggressive and highly competitive individuals or groups. Though examples are specific and concrete, the principles conceptually represent the balancing of confidence and humility in coaching demeanor, mindful investigation of client needs, and the development of functional strengths in the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of client performance.
