We are going to talk about coworking as a way to nurture relationships with your audience. So let's start with a basic definition.

What is coworking?
In general coworking is just when you get together with one or more people and you work on separate things together

Kind of like at study hall – you're all in the same room and you're working on things individually. Or maybe like in college, I would get together with my friends at the library and we'd all sit at the same table, but we'd be doing our individual homework and occasionally break out into chatter and then go back to doing shit for a while.

It also, and this isn't on the slide, but it's also related to a productivity strategy called body doubling that's really effective for ADHD people. And body doubling is just the idea of you are in a room with someone and they're not helping you with the task, but the fact that they're in the room with you doing something separate makes you more productive.

And what it is more specifically for our purposes...
For the purposes of what we're talking about today and the strategy that I'm teaching you, coworking is a free, regular, themed coworking session with an office hours portion in the middle, and it's not strictly connected to a paid offer. Anyone in your audience can opt in to gain access.

There are lots and lots of ways to apply coworking in your business. 

You could theoretically host coworking for a paid membership community. And that's awesome and totally valid. And 85% of the stuff I'm talking about in this course is still gonna help you. 

You could also do three or four coworking sessions for a paid course you're running a live round of, or a group program you're running. And that's awesome.

But specifically in this course, I'm talking about a free regular themed co-working with an office hours portion in the middle, with the specific goal of helping you nurture relationships with your audience.

So coworking can be many things and there are many ways you can apply it in your business, but this is the specific application we're talking about in this course.
