As we settle into this new chapter of The Co-Co in Florham Park, one thing we’re reminded of again and again is how powerful presence can be, and not just showing up, but really being here. In a world that glorifies multitasking, presence is becoming a quiet superpower. It’s what turns a quick conversation into an opportunity, a work session into progress, and a shared space into community.

In case you missed it, The Co-Co is expanding with a new location opening on November 3rd in Florham Park! For our members, this isn’t just about a second space, but about more ways to thrive. More flexibility to choose how and where you work. More opportunities to connect with others. More room for ideas, collaboration, and growth.

Fall is here, and with it comes conferences, planning sessions, and new opportunities. It’s the perfect time to remember: your network is your net worth. The numbers don’t lie: about 70% of jobs are found through networking, and more than 3 out of 4 professionals say in-person events are the best way to build meaningful connections. Your network isn’t just about landing the next role or client; it’s about support, creativity, and growth.

We see the ripple effects of gratitude every day, in the way members cheer each other on, share ideas, and create a space where community thrives. As you move through this week, we invite you to notice the wins (big and small), the people who lift you up, and the opportunities in front of you. Gratitude multiplies when it’s shared, and we’re so grateful to share this community with you.

When one of us grows, we all benefit. The ripple effects of your courage, your ideas, and your work extend far beyond what you can see. That’s what makes The Co-Co community so powerful. We’re a living network, and with each new connection, the whole system thrives.

Life has a way of nudging us, or sometimes shoving us, into new directions. A career change we didn’t expect, a project that takes a turn, or a personal shift that calls us to reimagine things. Those pivot points can feel daunting, but they’re also where the most meaningful growth often happens. This season, we’re embracing that spirit of change, turning corners, opening doors, and exploring what’s possible together. Wherever your pivot leads, know you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Growth is a curious thing. It rarely arrives when we feel perfectly prepared. More often, it shows up while we’re knee‑deep in self‑doubt, imposter syndrome, or the temptation to stay cozy in what we already know. But here’s the real reminder: two‑thirds of people say they regret not taking more intentional career risks, and that includes not pursuing passions, negotiating harder, or simply saying yes when fear said no.

The rhythm of The Co-Co this week has been unmistakable, with focus and collaboration. Members have been powering through fall launches, grant proposals, and big client pitches, the kind of work that makes you wish coffee came via IV drip. In between, conversations have ranged from book recs to debates about which snacks are the best (spoiler: the clementines always disappear first 🍊). 

There is something about late summer light. It is softer, golden, and just different enough to make you pause for a moment. It is a reminder that change is coming and with it, a chance to see things from a fresh perspective. In business and in life, these seasonal shifts matter. They create space to ask bigger questions about how we work, connect, and show up. At The Co-Co, we offer more than desks and Wi-Fi. We are a network of people from diverse industries, learning, adapting, and creating together.

We’re back from vacation this week and slowly easing into the rhythm of late summer, not quite full steam ahead, but ready to re-engage, reconnect, and re-center. You don’t have to be on just yet. But if you’re starting to feel the pull toward routine, fresh ideas, or simply getting back into the swing of things, you’re not alone. We like to think of this time as a soft launch. Gentle steps forward, no pressure. A chance to experiment, get reacquainted with your rhythm, and lay a little groundwork before fall kicks into gear.

This time of year can feel… floaty. Routines are off, the calendar is unpredictable, and even the most grounded among us can feel a little untethered. That’s why we’re leaning into the energy of belonging this week. That steady, quiet sense of knowing you’re part of something bigger.

We’re halfway through 2025. Can you believe it? July is the perfect moment to pause, catch your breath, and ask yourself: How do I want the second half of the year to feel? We believe small, intentional shifts create powerful momentum. This month’s newsletter is all about simple ways to reset... no overhauls, no guilt trips. Just practical, feel-good steps to bring you back into alignment.

Time is one of the most valuable resources we have, and for many of us, it rarely feels like there’s enough of it. But sometimes, a focused hour in the right environment can move the needle more than a distracted afternoon at home. At The Co-Co, we see members use small pockets of time with real intention: a single hour to plan the week ahead, finish a proposal, follow up with a client, or simply step out of their routine and into a space that offers fresh perspective.

Summer often brings a mix of longer days, travel, and shifting routines. It can be easy to let meaningful work slip down the list, even when ideas are bubbling up and plans are waiting to be refined. Here’s something worth knowing: Research shows that your environment plays a big role in how you feel about your work, and how you show up for it. A Harvard study found that people working in co-working spaces report thriving nearly a full point higher on a 7-point scale than those in traditional offices.

Summer can be a mix of momentum and messiness with some days feeling focused, others… not so much. Wherever you’re at, you don’t have to figure it all out before showing up. The Co-Co is here for it all: the pause, the pivot, and the progress.

As we celebrate Independence Day this week, we’re holding space for everything this holiday can mean: celebration, reflection, gratitude, and the ongoing work of creating freedom and belonging for all.  We hope you find a moment today to rest, recharge, and connect with what matters most, whether that's family, friends, fresh air, or a little quiet time to yourself.

Summer’s here, and it’s the perfect time to slow down just enough to reconnect with your goals, your community, and yep, your Co-Co member perks. You’re part of something special. Your membership goes way beyond beautiful workspaces. It opens the door to meaningful connections, valuable resources, and a whole lot of support. Don’t let your perks go unused. They’re here to make your summer (and your workdays) even better.

You know how to get things done. But just because you can do it all yourself, doesn’t mean you have to. Scaling isn’t only about more, it’s about smarter. It's about letting someone else take something off your plate so you can do more of what you love. And speaking of love, this weekend we celebrate all the dads, father figures, and caregivers in our community. We hope you take a moment to rest, reflect, or reconnect, and come into next week with fresh energy and support around you. Happy Father's Day!

Work is a big part of life, but it shouldn’t take over your whole life. Since June is Professional Wellness Month, we’re taking a moment to check in, slow down, and focus on what it really means to feel well at work—mentally, emotionally, and energetically. We know the hustle is real, but so is burnout. That’s why this month, we're inviting you to pause, reflect, and explore how you can build a professional life that supports your whole self.

May was a month of real movement at The Co-Co. We saw members launch new offers, shift direction with clarity, test bold ideas, and say “yes” to opportunities that felt aligned. Our space wasn’t just busy, it was purposeful. Now, with June ahead, we want to challenge you to stay in motion, but with focus and intention. This month, we’re offering some great events and a chance to recalibrate, reconnect, and use your Co-Co membership in the ways that really serve you.
