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 March Town Hall will begin with a focus on Pro Bono consulting services. As consulting psychologists, we have a broad toolkit that allows us to be of service to others in many ways. Most have us have at some point delivered services Pro Bono to organizations, teams or leaders. Perhaps you have done it as a way of giving back, perhaps because of a connection you feel for a specific organization or leader, or perhaps as a way of developing your own consulting practice. Is it a planned part of your professional portfolio or just serendipity that takes hold? 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. We will also have some open time for anything you wish to discuss with the full group. I look forward to seeing you at our next SCP Town Hall!
