More Than a Desk: How Coworking Builds Real Human Connection
The Power of Proximity
For many small businesses owners, freelancers, and remote working professionals, finding the perfect workspace that checks all of the boxes can be a challenge. Will it be quiet enough for me to work? Is the internet fast enough? What about coffee? But what keeps people coming back to coworking spaces like Next Level Cowork isn’t just the decor, fast internet speeds, or awesome kitchen space. It’s connection.
Coworking has evolved from shared office space into something more - a community of like-minded, motivated professionals who inspire one another. Whether you’re a solopreneur craving conversation or a startup looking to plug into the local community, coworking offers more than a desk, it offers a network of possibilities.
Beyond the Four Walls: Why Connection Matters
Working from home can be convenient, and in some cases more productive, but it comes with a lesser known characteristic…isolation. Studies have shown that remote workers frequently report feelings of disconnection and lower creativity over time. Gallup
Conversely, people in coworking environments report higher levels of motivation, focus, and professional satisfaction.
At
Next Level Cowork, we’ve seen firsthand how a friendly “good morning” or a spontaneous coffee chat can spark new ideas, partnerships, or simply a great conversation.
Human connection fuels innovation and coworking is built for exactly that.
Pro tip: Don’t just look at amenities when choosing a coworking space; ask about community events, member mixers, and collaborative culture.
Coworking As a Social Community
Think of a coworking space as a micro-community of talent and ideas. Inside a single room, you might have a marketing consultant, an app developer, a local nonprofit, or a home services showroom. Each is working independently, yet open to a collaborative environment.
At
Next Level Cowork, members naturally form connections through:
- Casual conversations in shared spaces
- Workshops
- Networking and community events
These shared experiences help members tap into something traditional offices, and certainly home offices, rarely offer…organic, cross-industry networking.
Collaboration That Fuels Growth
Coworking doesn’t just help you meeting people, it helps your business grow. A 2023 survey by Deskmag found that 84% of coworking members feel more engaged and motivated, while nearly two-thirds have collaborated with another member on a project or business idea.
In a world where success and growth are dependent upon your network, why not engage in a coworking space that gives you that networking edge once limited to large corporations and social media.
Support When You Need It Most
Working solo can sometimes feel like being on an island.
Coworking communities (like the one at
Next Level) provide built-in support systems. Whether you’re troubleshooting a touch client challenge or celebrating a new milestone, having people nearby who
understand the journey makes all the difference; they’ve been there and they get it!
Regular community events, mentorships opportunities, and casual meetups help members feel seen, heard, and supported. It’s not just about sharing space; it’s about sharing success.
