As a remote worker back in 2016, I had a yearning to interact and connect with like-minded peers. Getting out of my home office from time-to-time was necessary, but the local cafes were just not that conducive to high levels of productivity. Good coffee, of course, they have. Wifi, privacy and security were another matter. I went looking for a coworking space in Cochrane, as I had experienced the benefits of coworking on a few occasions previously. To my dismay, we didn’t have one!
I had attended meetups in coworking spaces, both here in North America and back in my home town of Melbourne (Australia, not Florida). I certainly saw the value and benefits, even more so when I started to work in coworking spaces myself.
Cochrane is very community-focused, and I felt that I had finally found my niche, found a way I could support our business community.
February 2018, The Corner Coworking opened.
