Advantages of Working with New People in
A Co-working Space
It is a new environment for you to work with new people in a new coworking space. Although you may find the environment comfortable, still you realize that you’ll be working with strangers often in a coworking space. This aspect isn’t odd. Because it has many benefits for you as a professional individual.
Advantages of co-working with new people: Networking: Coworking is important for building networks in a professional capacity. Coworking places are visited by professionals who can be strangers to you- Strangers who are freelancers, content writers, businessmen/women, designers, etc can become a part of your social circle in the professional as well as personal life.Â
Studies showed that coworking spaces have helped in the increase of social circle by 86%.
Building a community: Coworking spaces apart from offering all professional amenities, do offer seminars and various events too. New people join these events based on their interests, who will be strangers to you. The benefit of joining any event at a coworking place can help to build a community, find a great friend or a business partner. According to the Harvard Business Review, building social ties with strangers is what co-workers gain through the events. This helps them to build a community of their own.
Strangers can give honest opinions: When you work and want anyone to review it, your friends, colleagues, and family will give you their opinions. But those will be biased as they’ll be known to you and won’t want to criticize and find faults in your work. Want an honest opinion which will be unbiased about your plans, ideas, work, and business? Ask a stranger about it at the coworking space. It’ll help in making the already existing work better. Strangers don’t shy away from criticism, be it constructive or otherwise.
Motivation: Working with friends, colleagues or from home, doesn’t give you a boost as needed. You already know the shortcomings of the known people, and try to adjust yourself in accordance to the improvements, keeping in mind their limits. But working with Strangers at coworking spaces will make you feel motivated, looking at them and their work. This will push you to give your best in terms of work. Also, a few words of encouragement and appreciation from these strangers at the coworking places might boost your confidence too.
Avoid distractions: If you are working at home, or at your office, you’ll have distractions in the form of pets, family members and friends at work who will come to say hello in their often breaks. When working in coworking spaces, you can avoid such distractions as most of the members will be strangers to you, who’ll come on a short visit for a meeting, have travelled internationally for business, or took membership for a day only.
Strangers can be dangerous, goes a saying. But in coworking spaces, working with co-workers who are strangers to you, will only benefit you professionally and personally!
