Cohere Coworking, as a friendship-based coworking community, knows that the most valuable aspect of coworking is in the connections we form. Networking connections made by being part of a coworking community are valuable, but coworking connections forged through friendship enrich every aspect of our lives.

Work-related friendships can increase job satisfaction, improve creativity, and offer support when you need it most. Fortunately, there are many ways to foster the friendships that we form within a coworking community. Here are a few of our favorites:
Stretch your legs
Northern Colorado’s most treasured aspects include its tree-lined streets, vast natural areas, and beautiful parks. There are many ways to enjoy the outdoors with fellow coworking members, including impromptu walking breaks through the historic Old Town area, meeting up to run or bike together on one of the many hiking and biking trails throughout the city, or simply walking to a nearby local lunch spot or cafe.
Digital discourse
Although the platforms may vary from one community to another (Cohere currently uses mainly Slack to connect online), most coworking spaces encourage communication online. In most cases, these platforms not only include channels to discuss business-related topics, but also more worldly topics, such as music picks, pets, and even parenting recommendations.
Learn together
Collaboration is a big part of the coworking world; there is no better way to grow together than to learn together. Whether it’s taking part in an online discussion about marketing methods, attending morning yoga classes, or leveraging a specific project with a round of Cotivation, learning together not only improves overall productivity but also makes the learning process more fun.
Social Snacking
Cohere’s location in Old Town Fort Collins offers many delicious options for filling lunches, energizing snacks, or tasty treats as a reward for a productive workday. In addition, we host fantastic food fests (potluck style) once a month, and our functional kitchen area means that it’s easy to bring food from home, so there’s usually someone to chat with in the kitchen or on the porch as well.
These are just a few ways you can learn more about your coworkers and keep friendships moving forward. Explore more ways to make and foster friendships by visiting us. We’d love to meet you!
