Impact Hub Geneva
Happy New Year from Know-it-all passport® and knowitall.ch! In the spirit of giving, we have decided to gift you an excerpt from the latest Know-it-all passport®'s 11th edition (from pages 515-516).
With the trend on co-working spaces, we thought you might like to know more. We put together this list for the book and will be adding to it over the year in anticipation for the next edition in 18 months!
Co-working spaces are very economical, practical, and flexible. Not only will you be able to stay independant, but you will be surrounded by like-minded people who can become your "colleagues" without actually working together. This type of environment is rich with start-ups, full of creativity, solutions and support. Often these spaces have a common eating/coffee area where you can network with others. Private meeting rooms allow you to host clients in a professional environment as well. Typically, those that work from home but need stimulation or have become isolated, will enjoy co-working spaces. Or it may appeal to those that simply don't have the space to work from home or need the discipline that comes more natural when others are working nearby.
Here are those that are taken from the latest book:
