Do you know the coolest part of working at a coworking space like O4 Coworking? For me, it’s meeting interesting people and developing genuine relationships. Some examples from just this past week: ☕ the coffee I’m drinking today is a single-origin, organic coffee from Dodola Coffee (for all you coffee aficionados it's Papua New Guinea Organic Korofeigu). I got it from Boris Šešlija who roasts premium coffee in Gdańsk. You can taste his passion in every sip of the brew! 🤝 I discussed building communities (yes, I love communities) with Paul Kawiecki (it seems we already have a name 🤫) and Piotr Suwała. It takes just two open-minded people to start something valuable 🪙 🎤 with Maciej Majewski from Pitch Me Baby® ⚡ we agreed to organise Pitch Me Baby Trójmiasto vol. 2 in O4 Coworking. When goals and attitudes align, it takes 2 calls and less than 10 emails to put together a pitching event. 🎢 Radu just had to ride the elevator down a few floors from the TELUS International office in Olivia Centre Four so we could sit down and discuss how the Gdansk Startup Network is growing and what cool things they do with a growing group of entrepreneurs who are not originally from Poland. 👋 I bumped into Paulina Tranda, an expert in lean methodologies at EBMASTERS - employer branding community Trójmiasto. We worked together in two places, so it was cool to catch up. And we already might have an idea that links to the community I discussed with Paweł ;) And that’s just this past week. This is not to say I know a lot of people. When you are willing to engage, give your attention, and listen, you create a base for developing real relationships. Focus on the other person and who they are rather than how you might benefit from the relationship. You might say, “OK, you had many meetings. But what about work? What about outcomes?”. I know my priorities. My goal is to let as many people experience what O4 Coworking is like and what opportunities it enables. By meeting people, introducing them to one another, and truly engaging in one conversation at a time at a place that's built for fostering connections, I do just that. Remember - it’s not about the number of your LinkedIn connections. It’s about the experience of meeting people and hearing them. Oh, and good coffee helps ;)
Chyba do Was jeszcze wpadnę. Przynajmniej na ☕️ cafezinho. Teraz jeszcze trzeba popracować nad 🍵 - chętnie udzielę konsultacji po moich 5 latach w Chinach… 😘
We couldn't agree more! 🤘 Great things are happening at the O4 Coworking space, and it's the meaningful connections and the good ☕️ that make a difference ⚡
