Building Connections with Clients Through In-person Co-Working

Collaboration has taken many forms, from traditional in-person coworking to the increasingly popular virtual coworking. In my previous newsletter, I talked about in-person coworking. However, as a Virtual Assistant (VA) and Online Business Manager (OBM), I typically work with clients on platforms like Zoom since they are from different parts of the world, not just CT, where I live. 

Some of my clients need to work with me virtually to make progress on their projects and avoid the back-and-forth emails. Here are three more reasons small business owners can benefit from virtual coworking.

  1. The ability to share screens – Sharing screens eliminates the need to take screenshots to create lengthy email instructions. By sharing screens, I can provide real-time training to my clients and other team members on various processes, or they can train me. Also, the ability to record these virtual meetings enables people to go back to a particular section for reference.

  2. The ability to parallel work on different aspects of a project – When my clients and I are working on different components of a project, virtual coworking allows us to address questions immediately, eliminating the delays in responses from email or text. This approach accelerates project timelines and ensures everyone is aligned and clear on what they need to do or what needs to happen next.

  3.  I act as an accountability partner for clients – Coworking virtually helps my clients stay focused and motivated to work on a task. Whether it’s writing emails, brainstorming ideas, or tackling other stuff, my presence as their accountability partner ensures progress and eliminates distraction because they have to respond to someone on the other side of the screen.


Virtual coworking allows for collaboration and productivity amongst people from all around the world. Virtual coworking helps me engage with my clients, empowering us to achieve our goals with efficiency and clear communication.
