Two core parts of PICA's mission are education and community. Our events are designed to help you run and grow your business, and to connect you to our thriving, professional community. For our calendar of events, click here.
If you're looking to evolve your practice with a small group of other seasoned consultants in your field or industry, an affinity group is for you. Facilitated by a seasoned practitioner, these groups meet once a quarter to network and brainstorm. We add new ones as the PICA community grows but currently we have groups related to social good (non-profits), HR & coaching, and healthcare/lifesciences/biotech.
Free to PICA members | Affinity groups run on various cycles; send us an email if you're interested.
We are working to make our web workshops available on demand through our Asynchronous Learning Lab. Currently we have two courses available, Getting Started as a Solopreneur and Creating Your Solopreneur Website. You will be able to work through the content of our courses at your own pace and on your own schedule. Additional courses are in development.

Remember when you could drop by the professor's office and ask a question? This is the same thing but virtual. Once or twice a week, PICA's Chief Advocate Liz Steblay hangs out in a virtual meeting room, ready for PICA members to drop in and ask a quick question. Sometimes these sessions are small group brainstorming sessions, sometimes they’re ad hoc 1:1 coaching. Either way, you’ll get the help you need.

These 60 to 90-minute interactive sessions include instruction and coaching from an expert. These sessions are not recorded to allow for candid dialogue.
