In this conversation, Ashley Proctor and I we talk about the difference between the coworking industry and the coworking movement. There are a number of things that stood out for me in this episode. Build something for community larger than you. Build something for people. Ashley points out that she is driven to build things for people. Essentially, that is the difference between coworking the industry and coworking the movement. The industry focuses on the Real Estate play while the movement focus on the people. For the movement, it is not about the space, it about the people. What drives Ashley is building something bigger than herself and building something for people. Building something for a larger community. Work towards dismantling loneliness, accelerating serendipity, and making meaningful human connections. For Ashley, Coworking firstly a verb. It is a shared office space for people who work independently or remotely. It is about having the freedom to choose where and when you working. Ashley gets a lot of meaning from her work because its not about subdividing space, it is about people. Focus on the mission or purpose of what you are doing, and it will help you build great things. She things of building spaces like planting a flag where people can meet connect and build the future. Surround yourself with people who care about you have your success in mind. At the heart of building coworking spaces is building a community where you surround yourself with people want you do well, people want you to be the best, they want you to be strong. Instead of saying no, show people what you are building. I asked Ashley about how they say no, when curating communities. Ashley pointed out that sometimes you do not need to say no. Let people self-select. Show them the space, explain what you are trying to build and if it works for them, they will opt-in. You build big things one tiny step at a time. When you are trying to build something that people think is impossible you do it one step at time. Focus on putting one tiny piece after another and rally more people together. Bring people together to build the future with you. When bad things happen to you separate what happened from your identity. An event or misfortune does not thing does not define you. I found this to be a very profound reminder and I have seen many people struggle to not let bad things define them. It is a very privileged things to say but it is important that we not let misfortune consume us and define who we are.

Iris Kavanagh has about as much experience with coworking as anyone. Having helped build one of California's first chains of community-focused coworking spaces, she's since turned her focus to helping others build their communities. She does this through her own personal consultancy and online content channel, Cowork With Iris (http://coworkingwithiris.co), as well as through the coworking association she runs, CoShare (http://coshare.co). In this episode, we talk about the value of local alliances, what HR can learn from coworking, and why we're both excited for the upcoming GCUC Canada conference.

Ashley Proctor joins me to chat about GCUC Canada, now in its second year. We chat about the people attending, speaker topics and my favorite, the unconference! I also ask Ashley about COHIP - the coworking insurance program she founded, and managing life and work between three cities and two countries. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode, Tony interviews Ashley Proctor of GCUC Canada, COHIP, Foundery, Creative Blueprint, Coworking Toronto, Coworking Ontario, and more. Among other things, we'll talk about the intersection of coworking and artist studios and the value of diversity, as well as the upcoming conferences in Beijing and Montreal.

This year there are over a DOZEN coworking conferences scheduled to take place this year alone. So many I literally can't keep track any more.In this episode you're going to learn how my teammate Sam Abrams not only had a great time but learned a LOT at her first conference last fall.This episode one part “recap” of the inaugural GCUC Canada and one part action steps that YOU can take to make sure that you leave any conference you go to with more than your moneys' worth.Key Quotes and Takeaways[15:22] "Let's stop preaching to the choir about how awesome coworking is."[29:04] “It's not luck…it's by design.”[60:55 ] "It helped hearing how others do it and consider adapting their process for yourself....or just completely challenging your own process to see if it still makes sense.”My question for you is: have you been to a conference? Why or why not?(Especially if you haven't…PLEASE listen to this episode and tell me what you think about making this your first year of joining one of these events. Which one will you go to?)While every industry has events (and I've been to my fair share), coworking conferences are particularly unique in a lot of ways, especially when the coworking core values are in play.The people who attend are so generous with what they know (and can save you so much time and heartache trying to figure things out on your own), and everyone I meet is excited to meet other people “get” what they're trying to do without another long-winded explanation of what coworking is.My 2016 Conference Schedule (so far)One of my favorite parts about going to conferences is meeting YOU, listeners of the show and readers of my website.I'd love to meet you this year, and I have two specific events that I want to see you at in the first half of the year:Where: Bali - Coworking Asia - February 24-28I was SO BUMMED to miss this event last year due to a shoulder injury and only be able to do a virtual Q&A over Google Hangouts.This year I'll be there in person. YES!(Also, if you're like me and currently staring at 2 feet of snow on the east coast, a week in Bali sounds pretty good right about now.)Don't miss my Communtiy Building Workshop on the 24th, my lightning talk about coworking mistakes on the 25th, and my keynote (I'm bringing some serious fire to this one) on the 26th.Get your all-inclusive ticket to the Coworking Unconference Asia in Bali.Special AnnouncementWhere: ANYWHERE - People At Work Summit - April 21stI'm RIDICULOUSLY excited to be sharing this with you.
