July 2024 SCP Town Hall - The role of spirituality in consulting psychology

Описание: 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.
