Monthly Sandbox Topics

August 3, 2022 Program Topic: Prioritizing and Getting Things Done!

Do you ever get so involved in a client project that everything else falls by the wayside?

Or, if that doesn't happen to you, how to you keep balance and manage all of the competing priorities in your life?

Don't miss this chance to hear some new tips--and commiserate! 

June 1, 2022 Program Topic: Unexpected Tips

We can all read self-improvement blogs, newsletters and books, and hear generally-accepted ideas. But sometimes, the best ideas are where we don't expect to find them. Maybe you have a typical way of doing something, but one day you make a mistake or something else disrupts your process. While you're recovering from that, you realize it's actually a better way to do it. Or maybe you hear some naïve, even silly, advice, and your mind twists it around and you realize there's a gem in there that you can put to good use.

What common things have you you tried, that worked unexpectedly, or surprisingly, well?

What unexpected things have you tried that worked well?

Join us for the June 1, 2022 Sandbox to share tips, hear from and support other women in consulting.

April 6, 2022 Program Topic: The Insanity of Consulting

Do you sometimes find that those same clients you love (who pay you well and offer interesting work) can, at times, really stress you out? Let's talk.

Share your insights, tips and tricks and learn from the experience of others on keeping your sanity as a consultant, managing stress, and setting boundaries.

Women In Consulting's Sandbox series is an opportunity to really talk and explore with other consultants on the challenges and joys we all share. Register for one Sandbox and you are in for the series.

March 1, 2022 Program Topic: Why do my hips hurt?

I don't know about you...I haven't update my office furniture even though I am spending a lot more time sitting in a chair attending online events. Recently I noticed my hips are hurting a lot more and I am getting decreasing amounts of exercise. What's the solution?

WIC Member Lara Elfstrand has solved the challenges of both uncomfortable office furniture and lack of exercise. Join us in the March Sandbox to explore her solutions and share your experiences.

Jan 5, 2022 Program Topic: Happy New Year!! What's Next?

Are New Year's Resolutions something you do? In your business? In your life?

What is your vision for 2022? What goals have you set and how do you track your success against these goals? How do you identify, measure, and track your tasks, priorities?

Have you ever discovered and acted on a need to pivot in your business?

Women In Consulting's monthly Sandbox is all about sharing experiences, lessons, tools, tips, and tricks. When better to dive in with your peers than January 5th! Let's explore together and support each other around issues of planning and execution in 2022.
