The idea of coworking has long challenged the notion that friendship and business don’t mix, particularly friendship-based coworking spaces like Cohere Coworking. In fact, we’d like to argue that friendship has an integral role in business. Like friendships, a good business partnership requires integrity, dedication, and shared vision. Not only can mixing business and friendship help to create stronger and more enduring businesses, but it can also help to improve the mental health of those involved.
