What's New in Career and Work Assessment: Integrating Interests, Abilities, and Personality | Rodney Lowman, PhD | 4 APA CE's
Psychologically-based career assessment is a powerful, and underutilized, tool for helping people chart well-fitting and productive careers. This area of psychological practice, though not new, is often not included in graduate training critera with the emphasis it deserves. This workshop will focus on three major individual difference domains relevant to career and work assessment: interests, abilities (broadly defined), and work-related personality characteristics. These are covered in the context of the purposes of the assessment and the specific presenting concerns. Highlights from the vast literature in each of these domain areas are summarized and recommendations for combining across domains are introduced. The workshop will also cover common errors made in such assessments including a) failing to measure in multiple domains; b) not integrating across domains; reliance on a single measure within a domain; and d) not being familiar with the current literature. The workshop will illustrate how to translate assessment data to real-world career and work concern.

Differences Make a Difference: Sharpening Insights and Effectiveness in Executive Coaching | Gregory Pennington, PhD and Layla Bokhari, PhD | 4 APA CE's

Differences make a difference. Effectively managing the dynamics of differences, including race, continues to be an area in which consulting psychology can have a positive impact on leaders, teams, and organizations. The increase in awareness of race as a factor, in large part stimulated by the focus on systemic racism in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd in May, 2020. In addition to existing headwinds identified through research that effect Black leaders in corporate settings, the current focus on social justice has increased challenge of being effective coaching others when dynamics of differences are involved. This workshop builds on the experience of participants and evidence from psychology in the areas of race, diversity, bias, and change management to provide models for understanding when and how differences impact coaching engagements. It also outlines a framework for how to increase insight and effectiveness in executive coaching engagements by using case study examples, sharing best practices, and learning from skill practice opportunities.
