These types are often the ones who can transform the culture of the office and make it even more of a place where people want to work.

Combined with today’s economic trends—a millennial workforce and the rise of freelancers—you’ll find people willing to work with you, sometimes in a quid pro quo manner where services are exchanged as a form of payments. Coworking environments are excellent for breaking the barriers toward achieving high levels of collaboration amongst all members.
