Society of Consulting Psychology LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE

Participant Application Information

The SCP Leadership Development Initiative (LDI) is focused on growing leadership within Division 13 through a cohort of individuals who are interested in developing their leadership capacity and actively collaborating with the SCP Board on key division-wide projects.  The 2019-2020 LDI participants will kick off the year-long program on April 26th, 2019 with a two day retreat in conjunction with the SCP Executive Board meeting in Philadelphia.  The cohort will engage in developmental assessments, simulations, team building, peer coaching and focused experiential leadership opportunities.  

In addition, all participants will assist with an SCP project in which they will work closely with a Project Sponsor to expand their leadership while making a meaningful contribution to the Society. The LDI participants will work with their mentors throughout the year to outline and execute on the goals and deliverables for each project.  In addition to project work, the participants will meet as group on a monthly basis to explore a variety of learning objectives. The program will conclude at the CPC Conference in Philadelphia in February 2020. 

The SCP Leadership Development Initiative is an innovative program that is an endeavor that builds the Society’s leadership pipeline for future roles within SCP as well as to offer a valuable development and networking experience to members seeking increased involvement and engagement in the Society.  SCP Members who are interested in growing their leadership and are passionate about serving SCP are encouraged to apply for the program.
