So there I was, sitting at the bar getting all excited about 'this community' when my conversation partner says - "you just made me think - it's not a community."   Exsqueeze me?I was so busy 'spilling my candy in the lobby' about community (honestly, if I could have picked up the phone and ordered a punch in the face for myself I would have) I was not really hearing the possibility in the project. To me it HAD to be community before it could function. Maybe it did not? It needed to move, evolve, be an airport something transient yet purposeful.

At the time I was ‘over-consumed’ with the UK – mainly because I read shit newspapers every day, watched shit TV and drank shit beer in shit pubs. When I married into another culture it was not all plain sailing. Howe

“Showing up is 80% of how you Community-cate” #llbs

We say showing up is what counts these days, 17 zillion followers online? Great if you are Jay-Z, Barrack Obama (who) or Apple because that is appropriate to their relationship with their fans and customers. Our question is how do you communicate with your community? There is a very strong case to say that we live in an ‘engagement economy’ perhaps you might want to interpret this as ‘engage with someone and they will enter your economy.’ People that show up consistently in times

Should You Close or Keep Marketing Your Coworking Space Over the Holidays?

The Case for Taking a Holiday Break For coworking space operators in London, December is often a month of tough decisions. With the festive season in full swing, many wonder: “Should we shut down and take a break or keep pushing our marketing and communications to stay visible?” While closing and switching off for the holidays is tempting, there’s a compelling case for staying active — especially in a city where self-employed workers and freelancers rarely switch off entirely.
