Today is @eucoworkingday.bsky.social

It’s also Mental Health Awareness Week 🇬🇧

This isn’t about vibes.

It’s about survival.

For so many freelancers, creators & neurodivergent business owners — coworking is a lifeline not an upgrade.

Coworking saved my mind.
But it can’t save everyone.
What got me through wasn’t a productivity hack.
It was a room full of freelancers who noticed when I showed up.
No onboarding.
No brand strategy.
Just presence.

Buenos días, #Vigo, Galicia.

¡Feliz fin de semana!

This week has been a slog; I was grumpy as f@
But walking around this today practising Spanish with my mate, Cris flipped me back to sunshine and possibly.

It’s amazing what a bit of sun and blue sky can do for you mood 🙏☀️🇪🇸

In 2009, I declared myself a "digital nomad," picturing effortless productivity from charming cafés and beachside huts in #Argentina.

Reality hit harder than I imagined...

Confusion harms the community. 

Members must understand what’s happening and where to find updates. 

Effective communication fosters trust and maintains engagement. 

Clarity is essential. 

Confusion drives members away. 

Select a channel and keep consistency.

Is your communication scattered?

Could you pick one platform and stick with it?

Your community will thank you.

Consistency will keep your members connected, whether it's through Slack, email, member software, or WhatsApp.

One Coworking Community Builder Cohort member struggled with scattered communication—emails, WhatsApp, Slack—and members often missed updates.

By putting everything into a single email newsletter, engagement doubled, and members felt more connected.

Clear communication transformed their space.

Inclusivity isn’t optional.

A community that feels exclusive will shrink.

Ask your members what they need to feel welcome.

Inclusivity will create a stronger, more connected space for everyone.

Many coworking leaders unintentionally design events for just one type of member.

The result?

Other voices get left out.

The solution is simple: Ask for feedback and diversify your programming.

Inclusivity will transform your community.

Inclusivity starts with listening.

Today, ask one member: “What would make this space feel more welcoming to you?”

Their answer will show you what your community needs.

Hospitality is the foundation of a community.

Without it, coworking spaces feel cold and transactional.

Hospitality isn’t just for hotels.

It’s the heartbeat of coworking.

Get to know your people.

What are they working on?

##Hospitality 
January 20, 2025 at 7:10 PM
When you go to a coworking space where no one said hello—not even the staff.

It feels like a waiting room, not a community.

Contrast that with spaces where you’re greeted by name.

Hospitality creates a sense of belonging that brings people back.

What does hospitality look like in your coworking space?

It’s not just about being nice—it’s about making people feel seen and valued.

A simple, intentional hello will start the chain reaction.

You must know you can't 'sell' a community by now.

You have to create it.

If members walk in and see desks but no connections, you've lost them.

Start small: today, send a personal message to one of your members.

Real connections don't need a sales pitch.

😱 What if everything you thought you knew about work was wrong?

🎙️Denise instigated "The Science of Flexibility," where we can transform our views on coworking and enterprises.

Seeking true change starts with rethinking our work environments.

The easiest way to think about it is collaboration over competition.

The other way to think about it is what we can do together that we cannot achieve alone.

In a coworking environment, collaboration saves time, money, and energy.
