This webinar series brings the world’s top coworking leaders to the masses. Each webinar takes us deep into a topic that will help your community grow, get you past a difficult challenge, or scale your business. Perhaps all three. This time we’re working with Mike Zeidler of Funky Spaces and Happy City to learn how coworking spaces can be anchors for happiness and impact.

Details: Why do we create coworking spaces? What are we hoping to accomplish? The truth is, coworking spaces have the potential for huge impact on cities and local neighborhoods. They can create wellbeing, connection, and yes, communal happiness. Coworking spaces can help communities thrive.
In this webinar and discussion we’d like to tackle this huge topic of happiness and communal thriving, through the lens of those creating community hubs, coworking spaces, and entrepreneurial incubators. Let’s discuss how we can use our main resource, our coworking space, to create more opportunity and a better quality of life, not just for our members, but for our larger communities and regions.
In the webinar we’ll discuss the following:
- What a Happy City looks and feels like
- The Thriving Places Index
- The power of collaborative action (e.g. collaboration between coworking spaces and other community partners)
- How coworking spaces can become impactful anchors for better cities
Mike will do a short presentation, then we’ll discuss via Q&A and personal sharing!
