Welcome to the Community Corner, a new monthly publication dedicated to showcasing our Co-Co community's businesses, passions, and projects.

The Co-co creates inviting spaces where women come together, share their experiences, and support one another on their journey to success. Recently, we hosted a Lunchtime Conversation with a dynamic panel of successful women leaders who emphasized the importance of building a strong network. And that's exactly what we aim to provide at The Co-Co - opportunities for you to grow through listening, learning, collaborating, and mentoring. Are you ready to take your leadership skills to the next level? Check out our members’ top leadership tips, and let's grow together!

“Knowledge doesn't grow in a vacuum. Whether you work in finance or fiction writing, you can't grow if you don't challenge your status quo and expose yourself to new ideas -- and new people.” ~Rashan Dixon

First and foremost, I am a Co-Active PCC coach! I help people who are feeling stuck (at work and in life) to harness their intuition and make juicy and powerful moves into what's next for themselves. I've helped people quit their job, start a business, take a road trip, get a divorce, get a sick ass promotion, decide to have a baby, write their book! No topic is off the table for me. I want my clients to live life to the max, and I help them to define what that is, and then support them to take steps to make it happen!

Attention fatigue is real & we have some tips for you!

Can you relate to starting a task, something comes up, screams your name, calls your cell, or an urgent email comes in and derails your task?! We can bucket some part of this to "such is life." We all can feel this way at times, and sometimes there's no avoiding it. However, there are times and steps we can take to improve how our brain focuses and our productivity of the day.

Secure your spot today to join us at The Co-Co for "Cocktails and Conversation" on April 19th from 6-8 pm with Laura Overdeck – philanthropist, non-profit leader, and producer of the soon-to-be-released Afghan Awakening, a feature-length film based on the true story of the groundbreaking Afghan women's robotics team. In an interview with Andy Berndt, Founder of Google's Creative Lab, we will enjoy a conversation with Laura about her own journey of life and career, how she's seen ideas connect and move people, and her personal commitment to the potential of women supporting women–from founding nationwide non-profit Bedtime Math and leading the Overdeck Family Foundation to raising three children in NJ and producing a film.

Hi there, I'm Kristen DuBois, owner of BlushTan™ Summit, Livingston resident, and first-time mom of an 8-month old baby. (Life is crazy but in the best way possible!) I always get asked how I ended up in the spray tanning business. My journey began in 2012 when one of my college girlfriends let me in on her beauty secret: the credit for her natural glow was all thanks to a small business in town called BlushTan™.

Recently, The Harvard Business Review posted an article about how coworking spaces have a positive impact on one's well-being. Coworking spaces are "more interpersonally satisfying than working from the office or from home. One big reason is that coworking sites offer better opportunities for employees to relationally craft their jobs — that is, pick which other professionals they engage with during the workday, and how."
