Here's what you probably missed This Week In Coworking...

Welcome to this week's LinkedIn recap of my full weekly newsletter .

This week we see capital market precedents being set, whether we're too commoditized, data from Cushman re: flex demand, childcare + coworking network growth in Australia, multiple UK moves, a potential fire sale in India, and more.

Let's jump in!

A quick word from this week's sponsor: Kisi

Did you hear that Coworking Resources is hosting a free webinar on building culture and revenue at the same time?

It's true, and as it's Kisi -powered, we hope you don't mind us interrupting this week's newsletter to personally invite you [subscriber:firstname | default:friend], to join us.

Join David Walker , Anne Olsen , James Crenshaw , and us ( Bernie Mehl and Daniela M. ), as we dig into insights around growing and optimizing both within coworking spaces.
