    Coaching, Co-working and Community: A conversation with Crisha Sarah Bowen (Ep. 17)

    In the episode, I interview Crisha Sarah Bowen about her 10-year journey as a coach, her unique path to starting a co-working space, and her message of "living in your purpose". Crisha details her spontaneous start in coaching in 2015 , how she manifested her exit from her full-time job in 2016 , and the unexpected challenges of managing a physical space in a Caribbean culture. We talk about her the three-level vision for Purpose Spaces: Social, Working, and Events, why the concept of slow growth was more beneficial than the "massive, quick growth" she originally wanted and the most vital remote work skill she learned. Check out the episode and feel free to connect with Crisha on her socials: IG: @crisha.sarah.bowen @purposespaces Facebook: Purpose Spaces Website : https://mypurposespaces.com/ You can find all of our links here: https://linktr.ee/theremoteislander Links mentioned: BairesDev Keron Rose's Blog EF SET 15-minute test *Edit: Payoneer has stopped its referral program but you can sign up for an account here.
