OK…so it’s President’s Day and yes, I’m working…but I’m working in Alexandria today, not Bright Cowork. Which also reminds me of what a great time I had working there this past Friday. Now don’t get me wrong, I really like my Alexandria office as well…but right now I’m having to catch up on paperwork and emails and…well, you get the picture.
So what’s it like at Bright Cowork? Well, it’s not as though you DON’T do the paperwork and emails and everything else that you have to do to run your business or consultancy but it’s all about the value add. And the value add is that at Bright Cowork you get the chance to collaborate with some pretty interesting people. People that have insight into various disciplines, that are smart and creative, and who don’t mind sharing their knowledge and providing guidance.
And this past Friday that’s exactly what the people in the group did…in the form of a brown bag lunch where we got together to discuss the merits of a couple of innovative website ideas. The discussion was lively and the feedback served to clarify the ideas and drill down on some specifics. Besides helping out, I obtained some valuable knowledge during the conversation and also gained some insight into the people sitting around the table…and found out more about their areas of expertise…always a good thing for future exploration.
Can’t wait until the next brainstorm. Who knows, maybe I’ll be the next one to bring a couple of ideas to the table. How about you?
