How can you make more of an impact by working with people in your coworking community?
Who do you work with?
Where do they live?
How can you engage with them?
But what type of impact would be significant in your geographical area or the community you serve?
Can you do something to generate some ideas with some of your members?
What type of impact would they like to make collectively or individually that you could operate in your business or help them achieve?
Have a brainstorming session, look at what examples people create, make a plan, and get on with it.
And how long does it take to make an impact?
It can take years to make an impact.
But you can make an impact on someone's life in one day.
For example, coworking spaces offer refugees free space.
It's just one type of impact.
Look at what you're doing, where your suppliers are coming from, where your energy is coming from, and how you treat your staff in terms of their well-being. What type of impact could you make today?

The Melting Pot Edinburgh is Scotland's Centre for Social Innovation and was one of the first real-life examples where I got to see how local impact and coworking can go hand in hand over a sustained period.
P.S. = I don't know why I look so deadly serious in the video!
I was having a wonderful time!
