The Broken State of Traditional Coworking : Community Coworking can Fix it #brokenstate #Coworking #community #businesstips #communitycoworking #remotework #remoteworking #remotejobs #WeWorking #wework #tavern #taverncommunity #letswork Conventional coworking spaces have a number of serious drawbacks. https://lnkd.in/d5NJTajp

I’m into what’s happening with rural coworking. Obvs we all love a swanky metro space with “cold brew on tap” and “nap pods”, but rural spaces like Cybermill and Kernville Cowork are providing a super necessary service to their community. (shoutout Didgette McCracken, Justin S Powers) These aren't just offices; they're lifelines for their communities. And here's the kicker - they're rocking sustainable business models in their own unique way. Here's why I'm looking closer at rural coworking these days for inspo: → Community first, last, always: These spaces are fostering connections and collaboration where they're needed most. → A different model: It's not all about maxing out the P&L with every inch of square footage marked with ??. These spaces prove there's more than one way to build a sustainable business. → Simplicity!!: No frills—just solid internet. A good workspace can be enough. → Diverse Revenue Streams: Who says you need to rely on high-ticket room bookings and spending private offices? I’ve seen lots of rural spaces getting creative with how they generate income and provide value. The beauty of these smaller spaces? They're rewriting the rules of what "success" looks like in the #coworking world. It's not about sky-high profits or rapid expansion — it's about serving their community in a way that's sustainable and true to their values. I think we could all learn from that. Have you experienced a rural coworking space that deserves a shout-out?

The coworking pipeline saw a 7 percent growth in the third quarter of the year, with a notable shift toward smaller setups, the CommercialEdge report shows. https://lnkd.in/en6jcvzg

?? The closing of a coworking space can be an emotional experience, evoking feelings of sadness and loss. ?? It's not just about losing a physical workspace; it's about the connections, memories, and personal growth that happened within those walls. ?? As founder of the Atlanta Coworking Alliance, I felt this impact deeply when many indie spaces struggled to remain open during the pandemic. ?? The bonds formed with owners and operators made the losses even more profound. ?? However, while the closure of a coworking space may signal broader economic and professional shifts, it's essential to recognize that the future of work has evolved beyond these specific environments. ?? Remote work has paved the way for more flexible arrangements and greater acceptance of non-traditional office settings. ?? If you're feeling the emotional toll of a coworking space closure, know that you're not alone. ?? Embrace the opportunity to discover a vibrant new community, like the one at Alkaloid Networks. ?? Our inclusive and welcoming environment fosters lasting connections and provides a supportive home away from home. ???? #coworking #community #futureofwork #connections #atlantacoworking https://lnkd.in/e-KdHBt4

Who is your coworking space for? In fact, who is your local coworking space for? When you open a coworking space in the middle of London, there are 8-9 million people in London. People have been programmed to travel to London for about 200 years, and people have gone into town. So it's easy to fill, and you must mess it up to make it not work. Usually, the sky-high rent, crazy business rates and service charges will make it impossible to work. But you must be in?tune with the local people when you open a regional or rural space. You have to be so in tune with the local people. Otherwise, it's a?kind of 21st-century colonising thing - you don't want to be the big brand supermarket opening up and killing all the locals. Whatever you open, people will come to it. But you want to be?part of the vibration, the local fabric, and the community hub that a coworking space can be. It is more than 'just a desk!' We used to get together differently. It's possible to have a coworking space like we used to have youth clubs, community centres, and everything else. That's the role beyond the commercial success or value a coworking space offers to a local community nowadays. ??As the Stereo MCs sang - "It depends on how close to ground level you are." ?? ??

It's great to see the enthusiasm for coworking spaces and their impact on communities and businesses! Technical.ly #Baltimore indeed leads the way in highlighting tech and tech adjacent such as coworking trends.

What would be your feature of comfort requested in the coworking community feedback box during the cold weather season? What is the most quirky request that has come from your community members? What about a hot water bottle deposit system from the community team perhaps? Or seat warmers to finally put the heat in hotdesking... ...yet with coworking spaces increasingly occupying #SmartBuildings helping provide the optimal temperature for working, I don't think such quirky community requests will be taken seriously or even submitted! I'm looking forward to returning to #coworking now the festive period is over....and embracing hotdesking during the cold months! *** I am the Berlin City Manager for Croissant - a hotdesking website/app for coworking globally.

Since the beginning of April BASE Coworking no longer has a flex area. Means: No day passes and no monthly memberships. Wait, what?! A coworking space without day passes and flexible memberships? Is this even still a coworking space? Yes it is! One that – as we gradually discovered – best meets your needs. Because the majority of the working Münchner*innen in our experience ... ? doesn't like to work in hyper-stylish, noisy & crowded metropolitan café-like social hubs ? doesn't live the super-fancy digital nomad style á la "here today, tomorrow in San Francisco and the day after tomorrow on the beach in Tel Aviv" ? and isn't exactly founding "the next big thing" In fact, they are looking for a coworking space ... ? where you can work concentrated at a normal desk with a comfortable office chair and, as a special luxury, you can also use a meeting room. ? to escape their ceiling falling on their heads in home office (which was admittedly quite nice during Corona). ? so that they can meet other people with similar rather-normal jobs, exchange ideas and extend their coffee breaks. In short: People need a comfortable workplace and a nice community. For us this means: fix desks. And community simply works better if you always meet the same coworkers in the office – not new ones every time. So we converted our flex desks into fixed desks and optimized the space accordingly. ? 3 / 5 new fixed desks are still waiting for a new owner. So who would like to join our nice community from May?! Feel free to contact Verena Schindler or link someone whose ceiling is currently in danger of falling on their heads in their home office! ;)

Is a desk in a coworking space worth it? As a coworking space, are you selling a desk or something else? Ok.? You ARE selling a desk, and when you run a coworking space, you can quickly think, I need to sell this many desks, and that's my business. But as a member, what am I buying? I've rented a desk in a coworking space for over ten years, paying for the chair and the desk. It's where I do my work. But the value, particularly for me, the value of my mental health, is off the charts. Our mate, Mike LaRosa, wrote a book called "Coworking Save My Life," which felt so close to home that it felt like he had read my mind. Sometimes, I pay for a coworking space to get out of the house, see people and stay sane. Sitting at that desk, I blog, make videos, and create value. The ￡200 - ￡300 per month costs nothing for the desk compared with the actual value. And this is why affordable workspace is so important, particularly in big cities like London. Even before the cost of living crisis and COVID, finding a space to work or start a business was expensive in a big city. Hacker and pop-up spaces in cities quickly got taken over by developers, Look at how coworking by Old Street Roundabout has changed in the last fifteen years. Old Street was where artists, hackers, startups and makers converged for cheap space, craft beer, and good espresso. Ten years ago, Central Working, run by Steve Pette in the basement of Google Campus, was THE secret place to be. First thing in the morning, people would queue for a table in the Central Working cafe. They were paying for a coffee. But that coffee was buying their ticket to be part of something bigger: the community, the wave they were all making together. That area comprises brand-name workspaces, offices, and enterprise-level software. But even those places are giving people somewhere to go and belong. ??
