4. Session Purpose*

As psychologists who work in the organizational and leadership development space, we provide a unique value based upon our education, experience, and skills in human relationships, systems, and facilitating meaningful change.

We are optimally equipped to help leaders, organizations, and teams enhance their effectiveness, achieve improved outcomes, increase their relationship and influencing abilities, and maximize people’s potential. Our education, experience, and skills in assessment and intervention are rooted in psychological theory and evidence-based practices.

This is what makes us stand out. Let’s celebrate our uniqueness as psychologists and experts in human behavior as we convene again to connect with and learn from each other. Let’s take the time to explore our roots while discovering what is new in our field.

This year, our mid-winter conference celebrates the enduring lessons that inform the practice of consulting psychology. We honor many of the legends in our field, such as the late Harry Levinson and Edgar Schein, as well as those psychologists that have informed our consulting work, such as Aaron Beck, Carol Dweck, and Daniel Kahneman (to name just a few). We reflect back on their presence in our community and continue to learn from their prolific contributions to our field.

This year, we reflect on the deep roots that anchor the tree of consulting psychology as we continue to grow upward and blossom. Our keynote speakers will each share some of the enduring lessons of leadership that they have experienced in their careers.

Please consider submitting a proposal, nominating a presenter that would add value to this conference, and/or sharing this announcement with colleagues from your network. To stimulate ideas for proposal submissions relevant to the theme, consider the following topics:

Assessment
Community
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Practice and Skill Development
Research Results
Stakeholder Well-Being
Student Resources
Techniques/Methods
Facilitating meaningful and lasting change in individuals, teams, and organizations
Uncertainty and Disruption Management

We will always consider proposals in other areas that expand the knowledge base of our profession and align with SCP Values. https://www.societyofconsultingpsychology.org/about-scp/.

6. How do you plan to engage your audience?*

7. How does your session align with the conference theme: The Enduring Lessons of Consulting Psychology?*

8. Abstract*

9. Session Outline*

Please provide a 275-1000 word outline of the session content and the participants’ experience. This should review the content that will be included and how the presenters will engage the audience. It should also include the approach the presenters will use to ensure (as much as one can) the session will meet the learning objectives. Please be specific.

10. Additional Proposal Information

If you have additional information you would like to submit about your proposal, please upload it here.

Max. file size: 50 MB.

11. I/We would like to apply for APA CE eligibility for:*

Yes - (If yes then complete #12-19)

No - (If no, the form will skip to #20)

12. Target Audience*

We know that our attendees have different needs based on their level of experience within the field. In particular, we appreciate that an individual who is looking to transition into consulting, or early in their career, will face unique challenges and learning needs relative to those who are more seasoned. While anyone is welcome to join a session, APA requires that speakers select up to 3 (at most) of the target audience populations listed below: This year, we also hope to have a full line-up of opportunities for early career and transitioning psychologist attendees, and submissions for sessions targeted to those audiences are strongly encouraged.

Early career: topic and content applicable to participants who have limited experience and are seeking skill and/or knowledge development. Content is at a basic level and does not require in-depth experience.

Mid-Level: topic and content are at a higher level and geared towards those with knowledge, skills and experience in the field. Less of a focus on basic skill development and more of a focus on understanding and application of complex topics.

Senior Level: Content and topics are sophisticated and appreciate the nuances of application. Requires participants that are highly experienced and seek greater depth to their practice. Content avoids over-simplification and leverages participants’ wealth of experience.

Post-Doc/Early Career

Transitioning Psychologist

Mid-Level (By Experience - 7-14 years)

Senior Level (By Experience - 15+ years)

13. Audience Skill Level*

This is NOT the same as identifying your target audience (above). Instructional skill level refers to the technical and conceptual skill level at which the material will be presented. It is akin to asking if your session would be considered a beginner, intermediate, or advanced session for your selected audience. The more conceptual or technical the skills and vocabulary your audience requires to maximally benefit from your session (i.e., the greater the prerequisite knowledge or skills), the more likely your session is to move from a beginner level session to an intermediate or even advanced one. Note that any level may be appropriate for a given target audience since a "beginner instructional skill level" session for students looks distinctly different from a "beginner instructional skill level" session for senior consultants. Typically only ONE instructional skill level will apply. In some instances TWO may be appropriate (especially for longer sessions), provided supporting rationale is provided. However, a session will not be approved for CEs if all three levels are selected.

Beginner

Intermediate

Advanced

14. Learning Objectives*

Please submit learning objectives for the session. The learning objectives are very important in determining CE eligibility (Reminder: sessions that meet CE eligibility will be given priority in the selection process).

3-4 for a session that is under four hours long (most sessions will fall into this category). Learning Objectives must be observable, quantifiable, and focused on what attendees will be able to do as a result of attending the session that will ultimately better serve the public and enhance the profession.

Acceptable Learning Objectives clearly identify the broader contributions that might support the welfare of the consumer and the Society by addressing ethical and regulatory implications associated with successful business practice. Learning Objectives must also be quantifiable, such as "List at least three," or "Describe at least two ways..."

Please see the CE Guidelines for more detailed information on writing properly worded Learning Objectives, including examples of using quantifiable action verbs (e.g., "Describe at least three," or "Compare and contrast," ) vs. inadequate and vague language (e.g., "will understand” or “will know).

15. Section D Criteria*

In order to be CE eligible, submitters must select one of the “Section D” criteria (below) and provide a brief description (up to 100 words) explaining how the session will meet that criteria. Please review and select the appropriate "Section D" criterion into which you believe your session best fits. See the CE Guidelines if you would like more detailed information concerning “Section D” criteria.

Pick ONE only:

Criterion 1.1 Program content focuses on application of psychological assessment and/or intervention methods that have overall consistent and credible empirical support in the contemporary, peer-reviewed scientific literature beyond those publications and other types of communications devoted primarily to the promotion of the approach.

Criterion 1.2 Program content focuses on ethical, legal, statutory, or regulatory policies, guidelines, and standards that impact psychological practice, education, or research.

Criterion 1.3 Program content focuses on topics related to psychological practice, education, or research other than application of psychological assessment and/or intervention methods that are supported by contemporary scholarship grounded in established research procedures.

Criterion 1.1

Criterion 1.2

Criterion 1.3

16. Briefly describe how the program content meets the specified criterion*

17. Current Literature References*

Please provide at least three current (within the last 10 years) empirical or peer-reviewed literature references from the scholarly literature (i.e., generally textbooks are not acceptable) in support of your session’s content or concepts. If included references are authored or co-authored by the session presenter(s), please be sure to note this as a potential conflict of interest later in this application. For more details about what does and does not qualify for literature references, see the CE Guidelines.

If you are not applying for CEs, please put N/A in the box.

18. Will you (or co-presenters) be supported financially by a manufacturer of any commercial product?*

Yes

If yes, please explain:*

19. Will you be making a financial profit (beyond honoraria received for workshops or keynotes ONLY) by the sale of any product or publication as a result of this session?*

Yes

Full Disclosures of Commercial Support, Conflicts of Interest, and Financial Gains

Presenters are not permitted to advertise products or solicit business as part of their sessions or presentations. They are also required to disclose possible conflicts of interest or secondary financial gains. While financial gains (including speaker fees) or conflicts of interest (e.g., being an event sponsor or having a book or product coming on the market) do not necessarily preclude a session from being CE eligible, all potential conflicts of interest or financial gains must be disclosed. If a conflict or financial gain does exist, please explain how it will be managed so that it does not interfere with the presenters’ ability to present, and that it will not unduly influence audience members.

If yes, please explain:*
