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 ;)

When I used to run Coworking Bansko, I was often asked "What is a coworking space?" Explaining it was always a challenge - because coworking is truly an experience that has to be felt. It's those spontaneous connections and "coworking moments" that make it special. It is about the energising buzz as entrepreneurs from different backgrounds bounce ideas off each other. Trying to put that indescribable magic into words is a lot like explaining Bansko Nomad Fest. It's an event that brings the remote working community together, but it's so much more than that. It's an environment that sparks creativity, cultivates growth, and fosters lasting relationships. You really have to experience it to understand that intangible energy: “It was a live changing event” is what I hear people say. A feeling of being part of something bigger than yourself. This can be total game-changer for YOU! https://lnkd.in/gBPACR75 Have a look at this video for a glimpse into the kind of potent, catalysing experience I'm talking about.

"Coworking spaces are just glorified coffee shops, right? Wrong." While many view these spaces as mere trendy offices, they are vibrant ecosystems for community building that enhance both professional and personal growth. Why Coworking Matters?? Dynamic Interactions: ➡️ Walk into a coworking space and you’re greeted by a diverse mix of professionals—designers, entrepreneurs, and tech enthusiasts—all buzzing with energy. ➡️These serendipitous interactions spark creativity and collaboration, leading to innovative ideas. Commitment to Community: ➡️Regular events—networking lunches, skill-sharing workshops—create opportunities for deeper connections. ➡️Imagine learning digital marketing from a seasoned expert or brainstorming your startup with a graphic designer. These interactions can lead to invaluable partnerships and mentorships. Emotional Support: ➡️The journey of entrepreneurship can be isolating, but coworking spaces foster a sense of camaraderie. ➡️Members share their struggles and successes, providing encouragement and advice, which enhances overall well-being. Building Trust: ➡️Collaboration leads to trust. When members work together on projects and share resources, they develop meaningful relationships. ➡️This connection transforms a solitary work experience into a supportive network, motivating everyone to engage actively. Coworking spaces are more than just places to work—they are thriving communities that redefine the work experience. By prioritising community building, these spaces show us that when individuals come together, they achieve far greater success than they could alone. So, the next time someone dismisses coworking as a trend, remind them: it's a revolutionary approach to work and connection that’s here to stay. #coworkingspaces #realestate #officespace #officesolution
