Thanks for this exploration. As part of Open Coworking, I would value regular check-ins and phone and in-person talk time on specific topics with people who own and manage coworking businesses with similarities to mine. I've been part of small groups (up to 14 people) that meet each week at the same time, with similarities between our businesses and shared interest in actionable learning. I'd like to be in a group with other coworking owner-managers where: - the business is talked about transparently in a safe space - the business pays at least a living wage to at least one person full-time - the values defined previously by Steve King and others on this group for what is coworking are honored - the coworking places in the group have existed at least 1 year and the people in the group are passionate about learning and building vision somehow for their place and community. - we meet for at least 10 weeks, an hour each week, and participants are on the calls at least 7 out of the 10 calls. - there could be a text to read or topics to discuss for each call, where we share what we're working on and get support for, and relate with, our goals.
I would be open to facilitating that group and open to others facilitating instead. It would need at least 6 people.
