Overview
As mental performance job opportunities continue to expand, one performance domain in particular is seeking our services more than ever - business. With the US Surgeon General’s release of the Framework for Workplace Mental Health and Well-Being this past year, mental performance consultants are well-positioned to provide services to meet the priorities and needs of workers and organizations. Our 2023 Virtual Conference will showcase the realities of working in this performance domain and highlight knowledge, skills, and abilities that make mental performance consultants effective in their roles with business clients and employers. Speakers will share their experiences within the business domain and how those differ from sport, conventional and non-conventional approaches to working in business, and strategies for gaining entry, creating success, and pursuing ongoing professional development when consulting in the business domain.
Presentations & Speakers
Seeing the Playing Field of Mental Performance Consulting in Corporate Spaces
Adam Naylor, EdD, CMPC, Deloitte
Let’s begin by looking at the broad landscape of business, where psychological matters are perhaps more touted than ever. This presentation will utilize a systemic view, encouraging practitioners to both zoom in and zoom out as they engage within corporate settings. Considerations and reflections will be shared about how mental performance consultants may be well suited to serve, collaborate, and coordinate in these spaces across a wide range of stakeholders and champions, as well as where sport-focused perspectives may fall shy for success.
Consulting with the Business Performer
Niki Lau, M.Sc, Niki Lau Consulting & Valor Performance
What does mental performance consulting with individuals look like in the business domain? This presentation will offer a perspective of individual executive leadership consulting, including different ways to gain work in this area. We will also discuss specific examples of challenges business performers face and mental performance topics and skills that can be leveraged to help individuals in this area.
How to Structure Group Coaching to Drive Engagement
Arlene Lynn Bauer, EdD, CMPC, Flow Research Collective & BetterUp
Group coaching for business clients can occur by bringing together like-minded individuals from different careers or working with a connected business team. Both settings offer clients the opportunity to learn from each other, and if they do not work together, it is a valuable opportunity to network. This presentation will explore the use of a cohort-based model to combine training and coaching for groups of business clients.
Moving the Needle - Helping Organizations Become Healthier and High Performing
Alex Auerbach, PhD, MBA, CMPC, Toronto Raptors
How do you get an organization of 500, 1,000, or 30,000 people to change? This presentation will explore some processes mental performance consultants can use to make meaningful change in their role working with organizations. We’ll also discuss key steps to take when scoping out the relationship to support effective consulting relationships.
