Coworking Values Podcast

Join us as we welcome back Ashley Proctor, coworking maven, serial entrepreneur, global coworking movement leader, and advocate for Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity talks with Tash Koster-Thomas, Director of DEI at European Coworking Assembly.

In this episode, Ashley and Tash discuss how Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility should be the blueprint for humanity and the foundation of everything we do, in conjunction with the launch of the Coworking IDEA Handbook. And how important it is to keep talking about it, now more than ever as society fights back against societal injustices.

That we are on the threshold between the old and the new, and we must actively choose to build the future that we desire. We must step up and take on roles at city hall as well as leadership positions in our own organisations.

Stepping up could mean stepping aside to allow for new mentorship leadership, opportunities for reverse mentorship, and listening to and engaging the youth.

In this episode, we have Charlie Green , Joint Founder and Co-CEO of The Office Group. 

Bernie speaks with Charlie about the origins of The Office Group and how it has evolved since then.

The Office Group's journey began in 2003, when co-founders Olly Olsen and Charlie Green opened their first building on City Road in London, motivated by a desire to improve the way people work.

And how they had to reimagine and shape the world of work for the future, ultimately creating flexible and individually-designed Work Spaces where both people and businesses thrive.

Coworking Nativo is a linked, audience-led event with a goal: to bring together the Portuguese coworking community and friends. 

They will talk about how to return to coworking roots, what that means, and what is needed to do to adapt to the post-COVID world we now live in, which is constantly changing.
