About the event
Most of us coliving owners were colivers first. We fell in love with it and made our dream come true: set up and run our very own coliving. A place that is ours and that would welcome amazing people from around the world, a day to day life filled with community events, exciting conversations and magical moments.
For many of us it is. Most of the time.
And then at times it is:
loads of laundry,
broken pipes,
freeloading pests,
Slack overloads,
100 of unread notifications,
answering questions on repeat,
wifi unexplainable breakdowns,
unavailable cleaners, roofers, electricians...
mediation meetings,
dog poop cleaning and so much more.
Making your dream come true is amazing. But it is also a wake up call: running a coliving as a founder and on site host is NOT the same as being a coliver in a space that isn't yours.
In this webinar we address the raw reality of "Coliving vs. Running a Coliving" with the hope to help:
Manage expectations of people wanting to start their own
Share challenges and small tips on how to cope
Support existing coliving owners going through the expectations clash and show them they can come out the other way, happier and stronger!
This webinar will be hosting by Morgane Oléron, Coliving Hub Communications Manager, founder of Life at Selgars coliving, and author of Have your Cake and Share it Too, currently working on her second book: Peace, Love & Dirty Dishes - The naked truth about running a coliving.
