Some have made some points that you and others listed, such as this is our chance to innovate and stand out, and that the bank market the term coworking and we will still gain from that. They've all mentioned that they are not interested in working from a coworking facility owned by a large corporation (and one of them who felt the strongest about that actually is a client of this bank), and that what attracted them to us is that we are independently owned and operated.
We've been talking with our members over the last few weeks about our thoughts on expansion and involved a few of them to help work out the plan for it, and what we can add to our existing way of creating a great space could be really awesome to this city and is something that a) would take anyone a long time to make happen and b) they didn't mention adding to their plan (not to say it isn't there, but they didn't mention it), so our future does hold some really great options for us. So, thank you, everyone, for your quick and supportive responses, as always. It still stings that they are so close, especially when there are other vibrant parts of town that are in need of both their bank as well as a coworking facility, but I've decided to reach back to a mantra I've heard many times while working in the training and development industry: doing all of your homework doesn't earn you a degree. r. *____________________ rachel young *[email protected] (416) 801-0196 *Find us in person:* Camaraderie 102 Adelaide St E 2nd Floor Toronto, ON M5C 1K9 *Find us online:* Website/blog <http://camaraderie.ca> and Newsletter<http://bit.ly/camaraderienewsletter> Twitter <http://twitter.com/camaraderie>, Sprouter<http://sprouter.com/ruyoung>, and LinkedIn <http://bit.ly/CamaraderieGroup> > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
