Of Soaps, Slack, and Social Snacks

We like you too quotes on wall

We at Cohere truly care about what keeps our members happy. This means taking steps to ensure that our internet connection stays up to date and helping our members to make beneficial real-life connections within the community and beyond. It also means going out of our way to find more of the fantastic smelling hand soap that we overheard our members raving about.

The strength of the community is one of the biggest benefits of belonging to a coworking space, whether you connect with other members in person or virtually. The strength of community is built on positive interactions. One way that members of Cohere both near and far interact is by engaging with one another on our popular Slack account.

When Coherians tune into the #south-pole channel on Slack, we have the opportunity to learn more about what it’s like to live at the South Pole. Brought to us by Cohere member Sheryl, who spends several months of the year living in Antarctica.

Sheryl’s updates are entertaining and enlightening, and she peppers the channel with stunning photographs of the remote buildings, frozen wasteland, and vivid southern lights, although she assures us that they are even more spectacular in person.

#helpdesk

Not only is the #helpdesk channel the place to go if you have technical questions, it also has helpful videos of how to work the equipment around Cohere

#shoutabout

In this ALL CAPS channel, we have the freedom to express ourselves when our emotions run high. From frustration to elation, all are welcome to shout their feelings out on the #shoutabout channel.

Animal lovers should head over to the #pets channel. The pet parents of Cohere love to share and this is where you will find your dose of animal adorableness. Photos of members cats, dogs, and other pets smile up at you from the screen.

As a bonus, if you have questions about how to find, care for, or train your pets, someone on the channel is likely to know where to point you for an answer.

#parents

When the children are being extra adorable, we post it on the #parents channel. When the kids are being extra obnoxious, we post it on the #parents channel. This is also the best place at Cohere to get good leads on how to solve your most pressing parenting questions.

#todone

The #todone channel is used to hold ourselves accountable and to acknowledge our wins. This channel has been credited with both increased motivation and uplifted mood.

Social Snacking

Another way that Coherians like to connect is through social snacking and the sharing of food. From group events like waffle breakfasts on the porch, ramen potlucks, and visits to nearby restaurants, to impromptu lunches on the deck and bountiful gifts from the garden like zucchini and apples, the sharing of a meal is a great way to get to know one another.

The next social snacking event is Donut Day. Free donuts for Cohere members who show up Tuesday, November 16 between 10:30 and 11:00 am.
