A few weeks back, I gave a professional development seminar at the Comcast Interactive Media group, and this topic came up indirectly. The question was asked, “what makes a coworking space such a hotbed of innovation?” While the diversity of talent is certainly one of the aspects, even diversity provides little value without a network of trusted between the talent that works together.

Proximity helps too, but the most important thing you can do is lead by example. More on that topic coming up soon.

In the mean time, enjoy our video on building communities of trust!
