JOIN US

Coworkation goes Montenegro!

Located on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro, nestled between the sea and the Bay of Kotor, lays Lustica Peninsula, where we’ve partnered up with Playworking to create the perfect coworking retreat for you.
Referred to as the pearl of the Mediterranean, Montenegro is known for its natural wealth. Nowhere else can you find so many mild beaches, crystal clear lakes, rapid rivers and massive mountains in such a compact are as in Montenegro.

Playworking & Coworkation program

Our partners over at Playworking, have created the perfect circumstances at their beautiful co-living and coworking area to get away from your day-to-day routine and aligning your body, mind and soul with your work. They specialize in a wide range of adventurous and psychical activities while providing you with the space to focus and get your work done.

Just like any other coworkation, our program will be facilitated from the angle of personal development for professional growth.

But, we would love to hear what ideas you have yourself and if you would like to contribute something during the trip. All ideas are welcome and we would love to hear what you would like to share with the group yourself.

So what can you expect to take away from the workshops we have arranged for you?

PROGRAMMING

Business Big Picture: One of the benefits of stepping out of your day-to-day routine and into a new and inspirational setting such as Tuscany is that you have headspace to gain clarity and put things in perspective. This creates an ideal environment for you to look at topics such as vision, planning, strategy and decision-making. We offer workshops focused around these business ‘big picture’ topics.
Lifestyle Design: At Coworkation we believe that, since we are only on this earth for a short time, we need to make the most of it! Living life in the fullest, most meaningful way imaginable is great in theory, not so easy in practice. On our Tuscan coworkation we will be looking at topics such as “The power of morning routines”, “design your day, design your life” and “visualisation techniques”.
Personal growth for professional development: If we are not working on ourselves, then we are not working on our business! By optimising our own personal potential it enables us to be at our peak in a work environment also. During our Tuscan coworkation we will delve into our interiors looking at topics such as self awareness, leadership, purpose and passion, focus and concentration, health and nutrition, creativity, the power of the mind, food energetics, the power of the mind and emotional control.

But will we only be focussing on workshops and talks? No, we believe there needs to be a good balance between learning, experiencing, relaxing and connecting. Which is why we have arranged several exciting activities and excursions to partake in. But just like any other Coworkation, these are all optional, leaving you with the ability to tailor the program to your likes and needs.

Some examples of our program:

Adventurous outdoor activities such as climbing and canyoning
A day trip to one of the local villages and its marina
BBQ dinner outdoor on the terrace with plenty of organic veggies and fish
A thought walk in the natural surroundings to reconnect with nature
Art and ceramics classes

So don’t hesitate to sign up if adventure and nature are right up your alley, if you enjoy connecting with other location independent professionals and digital nomads in the perfect environment to work ON yourself and your business with high speed WiFi for when you need to focus and get things done while the clear air that leads to a clear mind, will perfectly enable you to work on your plans, vision and strategy.

A HOLISTIC APPROACH
“I don’t see work as work and life as life…to me, it’s all just living”
– Richard Branson, Entrepreneur & Lifestyle Designer
Coworkation has converted this special location in to the “Catalan Workplace Innovation Hub”. A centre where we analyse not only what we are working on but also the way in which we work…and the way we live. We work, learn, relax, enjoy and collaborate…it all comes together in a holistic approach towards life.

PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
“If you are not working on yourself you are not working on your business”
– Stuart Jones, Coworkation founder & location independent professional
Attending a coworkation is both an investment in your business and in yourself. Our workshops focus on both your personal and professional development:
1) Work-related, for example, vision, strategy, communication and branding
2) Work methods including productivity, scheduling and habits
3) Personal growth such as mindfulness, lifestyle design and emotional control
The workshops aim to equip you with tools that you can implement when you return home.

WORKSHOPS & PRESENTATIONS

REACH YOUR OBJECTIVES – Emilie Jacquetton. Monday AM.

The personal goals we set are real desires for change that we want in our life. We know that it would greatly improve our quality of life however in many cases we find it difficult to meet and we find many obstacles in our way. Meeting objectives forces us to go through a process of change and is composed of several phases. This process can be very fast or slow and sometimes we get stuck. In this workshop:

* Understand why it costs so much to achieve our goals and why we resist.

* Learn what are the keys to change.

* Receive tools to make it easier for you to fulfil your goals.

(Re)connect with your business authenticity – Diana Moret. Thursday PM.

As a business founder you might often find yourself running in the hamster wheel, following short term results, lost in the daily routines. It is so easy to get lost in the daily routines, taking opportunistic and short term decisions that is easy losing the meaning, finding your business lighthouse. In this short demo workshop we will explore easy tricks and tools that can easily help you (re)connecting with your inner authenticity, with who you really are and how to infuse it into your business.

Sunday PM:

Description: Do you still believe in the fantasy of certainty? Wake up and learn to handle yourself in the new scenarios where our organizations are situated. # Distributed leadership # Agile designs # new remuneration systems # Value creation structures

Uncertainty and Stillness are deep wells for creativity.
We will explore the power of slowing down, specially in these fats moving times.

Freedom & The Location Independent Movement

Due to the increased influence of disruptive technology on global commerce, management strategies and business structure, as well as the notable shift in attitudes around concepts of freedom, security, and life options, we now see an unprecedented resonance with the location independent lifestyle.

In this presentation the context of the movement is discussed, the values that are driving it and the different startups creating solutions in this exciting ecosystem.

Facilitator: Stuart Jones

Design Your Day, Design Your Life

A growing number of us have more freedom to work wherever and whenever we want. Are we really taking advantage of this blessed situation to live life to its fullest? Are we taking a holistic view and leading a balanced life? Do we structure our days to be in harmony with our personal biorhythms? Are we mindful of our moods and states and take them in to account as we move through the day?

The paradigm of work/life balance has shifted to it’s all just living. Living for the weekends in a 9-5 existence can move over to a more fluid way of living…one where we become the architect of our own lifestyles. During this workshop we look at alternative ways of structuring your days and week to work towards building your dream life.

Facilitator: Stuart Jones

Live to your maximum potential
Why do some people find work fun, satisfying and energizing? While for others, work is a daily struggle and most of us crave relief from the arrival of the weekend? Have you had days when everything seems to be coming your way? Days where tasks are simple and responsibilities a joy? And then there are days where you seem to struggle to get something done.
The answer has to do with whether you are using your natural strengths. More than any other factor, living your strengths improves your personal satisfaction and effectiveness.
In this workshop you will learn to live and develop your greatest potential with the use of your strengths.
Facilitator:

Gain insights into why certain emotions arise, and how to transform them easily and effortlessly anytime, anywhere.
Facilitator: Emma Bradford

The art of negotiation
The negotiation process is essential for a good development of the project of any entrepreneur. With good management of internal and external conflicts of interest we will be more effective in reaching agreements that benefit both parties and leave no damage in the process.
In this workshop we will address the key points that apply to any negotiation process:
– How to prepare
– Setting the framework
– Recognize the profile of those involved
– Identify your interests
– Reach agreements that are implemented
Facilitator: Laura Ucles

How to communicate effectively…remotely!
More than 90% of communication is non-verbal. Being separated from our employees, collaborators or customers makes it difficult for us to understand their needs and the instructions we give are not always understood as we would like them to be. Knowing what to focus on to get things right is not as simple as it might appear. In this workshop we examine together some key aspects of communication that will save you problems and wasted time.
Facilitator: Laura Ucles
