SCP April 2024 Town Hall Meeting

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 April Town Hall Focus Is On Brand building Whether you see yourself as a broad-based consulting psychologist or one with a specific niche, we each need to cultivate our professional brand. How to you intentionally build business and reputation beyond ‘word of mouth’? During our April Town Hall we will have opportunity to share and discover different ways be each have been successful at brand building and what we think the future might holds for us as well. To open the dialogue will be joined by Dr. NaTasha Jordan, an I-O Psychologist and SCP member who has built a consulting psychology niche within a marketing firm. You may also know her from her brand building workshops and presentations at SCP conferences, especially through the use of social media. Some of you even know her as “Dr. J”, a consulting psychology presence on TikTok. As always, we will save some time for open dialogue on any topic of interest you might wish to raise.

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.
