Build Community in a Remote Work Environment with Female Founder Dawn O'Connor

Today’s Podcast guest Dawn O'Connor isn't just the founder of Focus Bubbles, she's also the Chief Bubble Host. I can tell you from experience that she has an incredible ability to make everyone feel welcome, capable, and ready to GSD (get sh*t done.)Dawn created Focus Bubbles during Covid when clients were seeing their teams struggling to stay connected and focused; companies were wanting to keep remote work as productive as possible. Dawn felt called to respond to this need in a way that built community and went beyond the free webinars that were becoming so common.Focus Bubbles are fun, facilitated co-working spaces - think study hall for grown-ups – that provide community accountability. They create the space to make a statement and follow through with it. Designed to help you reach your maximum productivity levels without a "feet to the fire" feeling, focus bubbles are about giving you a way to connect while you decrease procrastination and discover exactly what you can accomplish in the timeframe.The key pieces of advice Dawn has for other Female Founders are don't be afraid to ask for help, it’s okay to rely on your network, and most importantly, know your numbers! Recognizing what you give to the community can help you ask for help in return. Knowing your numbers – exactly what you’re spending and earning for each new client – will bring you a lot of clarity. You want to know exactly what you need to do to get where you want to go!You can find Focus Bubbles on their website, Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn.
