S6E9: Fostering Community in Coworking Spaces with Charlotte Kirby

REVUP Your Business with Hilda Gan

Coworking spaces are rapidly gaining popularity as remote work becomes the norm and professionals seek more flexible, collaborative environments. But these shared spaces offer more than just a desk — they provide a sense of community. With tailored amenities and a dynamic, inviting atmosphere, coworking spaces are redefining how we work in a remote and digital world.

Charlotte Kirby is the Founder and CEO of The Village Hive Coworking, with three thriving locations in Markham, North York, and Midtown Toronto. Since opening the first space in 2016, Charlotte has fostered a vibrant, collaborative community for professionals, entrepreneurs, and remote workers. In addition to her work with The Village Hive, she does consulting work partnering with landlords and asset owners to integrate coworking into their commercial properties as well as helping new coworking operators to open their own spaces. Charlotte is passionate about creating spaces that inspire connection, creativity, and growth, making her a driving force in the coworking industry.
