As someone who studied Marketing and started her career in Marketing and Events, I've somehow always looked at coworking spaces through this lens. Since we started Coworkies, we've always said that the experience a coworking space wishes to offer to its potential members begins not at the door of their spaces but... online. The way you write, the picture you choose, the way you design your website, every single detail matters to make the person receiving your information click (or not) with what you say. On April 25th, we'll be running an online interactive session that will cover marketing through different perspectives and experiences. I am really excited and looking forward to learning from the marketing journeys of Justyna Abramowska, Malin Midhed, and Stephanie Omol. (And I thank them for accepting our invitation) Their brands, respectively Business Link (Poland), United Spaces (Sweden), and Ikigai Nairobi (Kenya) have gained national awareness in their regions, fueling their growth and positive impact. Reaching such heights requires hard work, which we'll all discuss during our event. Join the conversation by securing your ticket in the post ⬇️ #coworking #coworkingspace #marketing

This Saturday, I will be doing something I have been looking at on the internet for so many years: a TEDx Talk 😍 While I have had the chance to speak on many stages over the last few years, this one feels so different and so exciting (I am not going to lie I am also a bit nervous 😬) Why? Because it’s a whole new exercise for me. No slides, just me on a red dot carpet. What will I talk about? A mix of work-life spiced up with some of my personal journey. More precisely the path I took to truly find my career path and feel fulfilled with what I do everyday. While I am grateful for the education I received, I am also well aware of its flaws. I come from a country where the educational system feels “rigid” and a bit old fashioned. As young kids we are “judged” by grades and pressured to excel. So we learn by heart. Without really trying to understand concepts, ideas or thoughts. The grades matter more than the content because they follow you throughout your entire educational path. The content does not. Grades define the schools you can apply to. The schools you can apply to define the salary you get when you start your career. It’s all connected but it made me feel disconnected. Until I found coworking. Coworking opened up a whole new world in front of me. A world where difference and singularity were recognized and celebrated. Coworking made me meet incredible people including my partner Dimitar with whom we embarked on an incredible journey over the last 8 years and met oh so many amazing people. My talk will be around all of that and some more. Around pressure, courage, determination, patience and passion. I have been rehearsing a lot over the last weeks and I am truly grateful for the experience and for the opportunity to share my story. If I have a wish for it all it is to leave a mark in one of the attendees head on Saturday and help them find themselves at work the way I found myself professionally. Thank you TEDxAUBG for the experience and great organization! #tedx #tedtalk #tedxspeaker

Yesterday, members of Coworkies' Readers Club (https://lnkd.in/dSUauz3J) received one of the most powerful interviews I've done in my coworking journey. I had the chance to chat with Ilia Kenigshtein, Founder of Ukrainian Coworking Brand Creative States. Together with Ilia, we discussed the meaning of community in coworking in times of war and I was not prepared for what he shared with me. His words are powerful, his calmness and optimism amazed me, and the resilience of his entire team is quite admirable. Check the interview below and join us in supporting Creative States and its community 💙💛 (🫶 Grateful to Helga Moreno for introducing me to Ilia in the first place) #coworking #community #ukraine

👀 Help Me Find 3 Community Managers in Coworking Spaces To Join Us In This Place ⬇️ Last year, we organized our very first retreat targeted at community managers in coworking spaces and it was a magical experience 💫 For 3 days, we talked about all things community in coworking from what it means to why it is difficult but also oh so rewarding. Seeing participants from different coworking and flex brands from around Europe connect and share so openly made my heart full. We are repeating the initiative at the end of May in Marrakech 🇲🇦 Are you a community manager yourself or do you know one? Please add a comment below or tag people you believe should see this post. I'd love for them to join us in this beautiful place 👇🏽 Thank You 🙏 #coworking #coworkingspace #communitymanagers

This right below is probably Coworkies's biggest research project for 2024 and it needs YOUR help 👋 Over the last 8 years, we have seen, through our job board, how the coworking industry has blossomed. ➡️ More growth fueled larger teams.  ➡️ Larger teams fueled more growth. 🚀 To keep on supporting the growth of coworking teams and attract even more talent to the coworking industry, we are releasing The Coworking Salary Survey 2024, an initiative that aims to bring more clarity and transparency around the compensation trends that exist in different regions of the world. 📊 We've already collected very interesting sets of data and we'll be sharing some of our findings as we progress and gather even more data points. If you work for a coworking brand ANYWHERE in the world, or if you work for a company servicing coworking and flex spaces, we'd love to get your anonymous input to the survey. The survey is short, it will take you less than 5 minutes to fill it out. The data collected will be used to create a report that can be used by individuals, operators, investors, researchers, and policymakers to make coworking better as an industry overall. Let's make this together, fill out the survey, and tag coworking + flex friends who should take it too! There are many other reasons why we decided our research project for the year to be this one, I'll introduce them all to you over here in the coming weeks 👀 #coworking #coworkingspace #salarysurvey

I woke up to the news that I made it to BBC World Service Radio 📻 Thanks, Dougal Shaw for the great conversation on how coworking spaces are supporting people in "working near home". Grateful to Vibushan, Co-Founder and CEO of Oru - East Dulwich and Sutton, (also featured in the episode) who thought of me for sharing interesting coworking spaces we came across with Coworkies while traveling the world that were located in neighborhoods where people were living. It's beautiful to see how coworking spaces, in those particular areas, become social spaces, places where locals go not 'just' to work but also to get to know other people who are a part of their neighborhood. I also shared a few thoughts on what's happening in France 🇫🇷 and how coworking spaces outside of Paris are writing a new narrative for accessing great places to work from. Have a listen below 🎧 PS: Freddie Fforde, I really want to come and visit Patch next time I am in London :) #coworkingspace #worknearhome
