Drumroll … Here's a sneak peak at what’s happening inside The Consultants Room next month.
Article Summary
The Consultants Room is heading into September with new learning opportunities, and plenty of ways for members to connect and grow their consulting businesses. Members can take advantage of weekly working sessions, September webinars on taxes and networking, the full on-demand webinar library, and ongoing peer support, feedback, referrals, and opportunities within the TCR community.
TCR Community Working Sessions
Make sure you join us each Tuesday for our weekly group session where we work through community member questions in real time and share insights and perspectives with each other. Hosted and moderated by Paula, these sessions are an opportunity for members to work through business development problems ranging from brand messaging and positioning, to scoping, pricing, and client acquisition. Members at every stage of the journey can benefit from the insights and experience of the community.
Recent Questions Include:

Twice Monthly Webinar Series
From taxes, to networking to contracts and social media marketing, The Consultants Room Webinar Series tackles the issues, problems, opportunities, and processes that make the foundation of a successful consulting business. Each month, TCR members have live or recorded access to one webinar hosted by Paula and one webinar moderated by Paula, featuring an industry expert. During the live presentation, community members are encouraged to bring their questions for the Q&A that wraps each session.
TCR members have unlimited, on-demand access to the full library of webinars. This content is designed to provide the information that our members want and need to grow their businesses.

September 10, 2026: Tax Talk with Maggi Henghan, CEO of Sumly
Handling taxes and write-offs as a consultant is very different than as a full-time employee.
This webinar will cover the ins and outs of quarterly tax estimates, the mechanics of an LLC or S Corp, discuss write-offs, and other tax implications.
September 17, 2026: Networking Through Conferences, Speaking, and Teaching with Ben Udell
Ben is a member of TCR and has built a substantial speaking and teaching platform alongside his consulting work.
In this webinar, he’ll share how he used relationships and networking to create those opportunities and how other consultants can do the same.
The Community Feed
One of the primary benefits of joining The Consultants Room is the networking and feedback that happens between members. The social feed is where connections get made, job opportunities get shared, and hard-won advice is freely given.
Explore the various subtopic channels to find the information and the community you’re looking for. Channels range from Wins to Opportunities, to Building Your Business and Functional Area Networking. Members bring in proposals for feedback, compare notes on scoping and pricing, ask how others are handling a tricky client situation, share opportunities, and make referrals.
Recently, one member referred another into a significant project and that member brought the proposal back into the community for review before sending it out. These channels are where we learn and benefit from each other.
Remember - the more you engage, the more you benefit.
