Greetings!
March is the gateway to spring and for many, WORK_SPACE is a gateway to business success. We support entrepreneurs, small business leaders, non-profits and artists by:
- Offering a pleasant and productive work environment,
- Collaborating with organizations to host networking events,
- Having great members like Laura Beth Hunley who says:
"I can't say enough about WORK SPACE! I am a sales professional who works remotely and I recently made the decision to find office space rather than work from home. The staff here is professional, friendly, and super willing to help in all things. The space is beautiful! Not only do I have the freedom to make my spot feel like home, but the artwork around the building is absolutely inspired. Connecting with other members here has been a joy. If you haven't come for a visit, it's your turn!"
Let us know how we can support your professional growth.
Stacey Jill Zackin
WORK_SPACE Manager
ps - Don't forget to set your clocks back this weekend.

The Entrepreneur’s Alphabet: Q is for QUIET
by: Stacey Zackin, PhD, MSW, PCC (Manager, WORK_SPACE)
Mindfulness and meditation have become mainstream practices in contemporary times, yet our society demands urgency and proliferates stimulation.
WE are all so busy doing the activity of life we miss the information and insight available to us by experiencing the quiet of just being.
How does one find a sense of inner calm, tranquility and order when the external world feels chaotic, aggressive and disordered?

All of man’s problem’s could be solved if he could just learn to sit alone in a room with himself for an hour. – Pascal (1623-1662)
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action. – Peter Drucker
Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends rather than mob merriment, noise and thousands of nodding acquaintances. – William Powell
The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind. – Albert Einstein
If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment. – Henry David Thoreau
Man was meant to sit quietly and discover the truth within. – Lao Tzu
