Hin und wieder gibt es Überschneidungen zwischen meiner Tätigkeit als Herausgeber der CoWorking News und meiner Tätigkeit als Business- und Entscheidungscoach.

When it comes to collaboration a lot of people suddenly hesitate. Collaboration for free? No, that is not possible. […]

„Free Coworking“ needs a critical mass of Social Capital to attract Financial Capital. This is true on a local, as well as on a global scale. For „Free Coworking“ to operate on a global scale we need at least 10,000 committed activists which I think is worth about 15.000.000 € in Social Capital. In the first […]

On day two, of the „Free Coworking“ Campaign, the Group has already doubled in size. If we could double the size of the group every day now, we would reach our first target in 14 days!!! Spread the word, join the group!!! Many of you might ask themselves what we might do with all this […]
