Monthly Sandbox Topics

March 3 Program Topic: Make Money While You Are Sleeping!

Have you thought about ways to leverage your expertise without direct face-to-face engagement or signed contracts? Several Women In Consulting members are already offering online courses with several more thinking about doing so.

During our March 2021 Sandbox, we will be exploring Learning Management Systems (LMS) — designed to manage online courses & videos, certification courses and trainings.

As with every Sandbox, we will have some general discussion about LMS’s, what people need, experiences they have had and then, as part of this exploration, Women In Consulting members Roberta Kiphuth and Norma Watenpaugh will show us what they’ve created using LearnDash – an LMS that also integrates with WordPress.

February 3 Program Topic: Help Us Build the Calendar for the Upcoming Months

The February Sandbox will be open discussion. Bring a question, a challenge, or a solution you have discovered. Leverage the Power of Community.

January 6 Program Topic: Knowledge Management

How do we, as consultants for organizations big and small, manage and leverage the knowledge, research, and resources that inform our work? How can we zero in on the right facts, tools, and experts that we need every day while honing our own ideas and improving the insights we deliver to our clients?

Our January Sandbox gives us all an opportunity to explore the challenges and benefits of knowledge management with other consultants. After some general discussion, WIC member Martha Olsen, a user of Airtable, will take us through a high-level demo of how this tool helps her manage knowledge and information resources within the Leap Group.
