How do I get the most out of a coworking space?

Written By The Old Post Office

Highlighting online community, fantastic resource & podcast Doing It For The Kids. Their latest episode answers the question 'How do I get the most out of a coworking space?'

Here are some of their great suggestions:-

  • if the coworking space has a newsletter sign up and share your news (ahem)

  • Chat to the person running the coworking space as they're great at knowing who does what, and making connections

  • Take headphones

  • when someone goes and makes a cup of tea, join them in the kitchen for a chat, you might have a lot of work on, and it might be a big financial investment to you (especially if you're also paying for childcare and/or travel on top of coworking) but those little connections are very worthwhile. Frankie, the host says "I always bang on about the power of coworking because I still now, 10 years after being in that coworking space, get people in my inbox referred to me by people I met through that coworking space"

  • if you've got chatting to someone and want to connect professionally, add them on linkedin

  • welcome the newbies

  • go to the coworking space's socials (see above) or even offer to host your own social.

... and there are more pointers in the podcast. Listen to it here:
