Consider your coworking space's meaningful role in creating a sense of community in your local area.

It has way more meaning than a workspace for people.

It serves as a distinct platform, bringing people together in a way that was traditionally only seen in places where people gathered at pubs, places of worship, community centres or youth clubs, which are now scarce.

A coworking space is a connection point for diverse people, sparking unique collaborations over coffee, shared work, or joint events.

All over London, from Plaistow to Putney, you'll find coworking spaces hosting various activities, including weekend markets, networking events, film nights, childcare, workshops and classes, and startup events.

As our society evolves, the role of coworking spaces as vital platforms for community building becomes increasingly significant, inspiring us to embrace their potential further.

For me, this is a coworking space's true essence and possibility.

I say meaningful because it's different from the impact we love discussing.

Impact feels like a metric.

While meaning as a connection point for community building is more magical.

You spin and juggle many plates as a community manager in a coworking space or a neighbourhood workspace, particularly a smaller one, like a micro or small business.

One way to better use your time is to learn how to use the software you have.

The more you can get out of the software, the more time you'll have to hang out with your members.

If you are a business owner, please consider the software you choose to give your community manager and staff.

Don't drop 17 different types of software on them because you read the website's front page and think it's fantastic.

The less software you have, the more you use it.

For example, most people only use 10% of Google Docs or 10% of Word.

All those features never get found, let alone used.

However, learning how to use the applications and software saves time in the long run.

As my grandma used to say, a stitch in time saves nine.

The payoff for learning the software upfront is more time to spend with your members later on.

Do you have a sales problem, or do you have a marketing and communication problem?

You must know that people are researching you before they set foot in the building or book a call.

At least 80% of the buyer journey happens online.

So when people get to your coworking space, it's a gut feeling.

They walk in and tell themselves I could spend eight hours a day here, or I couldn't.

So, there's very little pitching or selling that needs to happen.

There's a lot of setting up this sale so people can decide.

So there's no "press hard, the third copy is yours," the "Ben Franklin close," or even cold-calling people.

Most of the sales are likely follow-ups.

So many people, including me, experience nothing happening when I'm inconsistent in my communication.

And then, a lot happens when I put in the effort and am consistent.

Look at your sales process, what happens, and how your website works.

What does your header say on your website?

Because so many people need to correct those header words.

Do you say what you do or say something wishy-washy, like "communication and connection" or "reimagining work" when you're in a coworking space?

There was a time when 80% of the coworking spaces in London were in zone one.

And only the truly visionary and daring would open a coworking space in zones six, five and four.

I've spent most of my life living in London's zone four, and finding a local coworking space has been difficult.

But now they're everywhere.

And a coworking space is not just a place to go and work.

It's more than that; it's the potential linchpin of the local community, a place for people to come to work, connect, and make a real difference.

There's also an active conversation about how climate change and coworking connect.

The potential for coworking spaces to adapt to this change is significant.

As people travel less and become more local, these spaces can serve as new centres of work and community.

If you were one of those coworking spaces that opened years ago and were local, now is the time to go for it, connect with the local community, and play and expand your role.

You've probably been waiting to do it for years, and now is your chance to make a significant impact.

👉🏽 What are you waiting for?

There are so many businesses; this is a UK stat: 20% fail within the first year, and 60% don't make it past five years.

What can you do to prevent that?

You can do many things to avoid that.

But an easy one is getting together with other people who are going on the same journey.

Time and time again, in so many projects, especially in the London Coworking Assembly, a vibrant community where people come together over a coffee to informally share what is happening.

I've heard things like said like:

Did you know how to press that button in the coworking space software?

And I didn't realise that the accountancy app was connected to that, and that app does not sync with my coworking space software.

And have you tried this?

Cause we tried this, and that happened.

Remember, it's all about constantly going on a shared journey, where each experience, whether a success or a challenge, is a valuable lesson.

If you can find a way to do it, getting together regularly with other people doing the same things might seem like competition.

Maybe you are scared they will steal all your ideas and secrets, but running your business is so personal that getting together with others doing the same thing can only help you.

At times does seem like a time suck and effort, especially when you are busy - but it is so worth it.

This is about getting people together before you start your coworking space and gathering them around a table to work.

And it doesn't have to be precisely the building you will be in.

It can be a bit crappy compared to the coworking space you will build to offer people when you open.

But gathering people together is where you'll get fantastic information and learn how to help people meaningfully.

For instance, @indy_hall the coworking legend in Philadelphia, started in a bar called Garage Mechanics, and then they became Indy Hall.

If Alex and Geoff had conducted a survey beforehand, they would have received different responses.

But when you spend months sitting around a table, working with each person, and truly understanding their needs and aspirations, you get to know what matters to them.

And this is about building a community that will be part of your space. And obviously, some of those people will then become members of your coworking space.

It's important to remember that building a community is not just about creating an automatic sales funnel.

When you treat it as such, people can sense it, and it hinders community bonding.

Authenticity is critical in this journey, and it's what will make your community thrive.

How do you build that community in your coworking space, flexible workspace, or neighbourhood space?

If you are responsible for this, you'll often have a job title like "community manager", but you're not managing people or things.

You are aiding the environment where people will connect, but you are not a CRM.

So, one of the best things you can do is get out of the way.

Ask people what they are working on and what they are interested in, and hold it in your head - as painful as that might be.

As you talk to everyone in your space, let them know that Sangeeta also likes that; Ruth was thinking of starting a band, and Mohamed would want to run at lunchtime.

By gently connecting people every day and getting out of the way, you will always build the community web, which will be there even if you are

not.

But often, we do this instead:

We put on this fantastic programme of events like a Butlin's holiday red coat, and it all depends on you making it happen, not in a good way.

It's exhausting for you and everyone else.

There were times when only a few people turned up, mainly out of sympathy.

But when you get members to run their own thing, there is involvement and commitment.

They are doing the thing, making it happen, and you can provide the space and area.

Many UK youth clubs, community centres, and village halls have closed, been sold, or privatised, so finding space for communal activities is challenging.

People are always looking for space because they already have the audience and idea, whether it's a cult film night, painting club, marketing workshop, cultural history talk, or poetry slam.

How do you practise the coworking value accessibility in your coworking space?

Many people think you have to redesign your coworking space, and it costs millions of pounds.

But Dom, from the Purple Goat Agency, who was on our London Coworking Assembly panel at the Workspace Design Show London panel last month, explained it like this.

When you do a few things around accessibility in your space, you'll get people in.

When you do that, you'll learn how to accommodate them and the reality of the situation, and then you can build upon that.

It's far better to do something and iterate on it than do nothing at all.

There's a staggering 24% of the UK population, which means millions of people have a disability.

Of course, that is a wide range of things from neurodiversity to physically disabled.

There is a very high chance you could meet the accessibility needs of a massive proportion of that 24%, and you don't know you can.

They don't know about you, and all you need to do is find out how to communicate what you can do and who you can realistically do it for.

In the same session, Jeannine pointed out that her De Kamer, Inc. coworking space in the historic part of Amsterdam will never be fully accessible, and that is ok.

They go as far as possible and can go further in other De Kamer, Inc. locations. An excellent place to keep up with this conversation is via AXSChat here on LinkedIn and hashtag#AXSChat on Twitter

Connecting with Your First Coworking Space Members

So this is about the first few members in your coworking space and why they're so important.

We've discussed this before, but the first few people who come to your coworking space will shape who else comes.

They'll refer people; they'll create the atmosphere.

New people coming for tours will walk around.

But how do you work out who those people are?

You have to think about the problems of the people you want to solve and then go from there.

How do you find those people?

It's going around and interviewing people.

I know it's terrifying talking to people you don't know, but ask people what they want.

An excellent book for learning about is "The Mom Test" by Rob Fitzpatrick, which will teach you to ask questions.

So if you say to people, do you want to coworking space?

They'll say yes.

But by digging deeper, you'll discover why they want coworking space.

As you dig deeper, you will find people who share your values and support the difference you wish to make.

Today is about a practice called "The 12 Week Year," which I'm sure loads of you know.

My friend Karen and I have had a weekly accountability meeting every Monday morning since 2017.

It started at the @WorkHubs coworking space in Euston.

We used to have a meetup on Monday mornings called "Not So Manic Monday," which a few of you used to attend.

The idea was for independent workers, freelancers, creators, and others who do stuff independently to show up in the same place at the same time every Monday morning, and we would be accountable to each other.

It failed dismally.

But Karen and I kept on going.

So every Monday morning, whether in airports, beaches, hospitals, or wherever, we've had a WAM, which is a weekly accountability meeting.

And we have followed the 12-week year process.

And it has been wildly rewarding.

For large chunks of it, I have, of course, been phoning it in.

But going through the same thing for so long has helped me develop my vision and mission.

It changes all the time because I change and learn more.

Following a process for so long has been wildly rewarding and revealing.

Much of what I shared has influenced how Emily and I designed the Community Builders Cohort.

We're not teaching the 12-week year method.

From our practical experience, we have learned that while some failures are dismal, even more things succeed.

Emily and I will guide you through both in the Community Builders Cohort.

Most of all, this is a program we wish existed when we started doing this kind of thing over 15 years ago; it's a mix of community building with gentle and fun accountability to keep you building momentum.

Be careful out there.

It is a jungle.
