SMALL BUSINESS WORKSHOPS AT CO+HOOTS

Downtown Phoenix coworking space workshops and several public events this month.

CO+HOOTS, downtown Phoenix’s first coworking space, is holding several open-to-the-public events at its location at 11th St. and Washington St. (1027 E. Washington St.).

One of the featured events this month is a lunch-hour “Midweek Mindtweak” talk on Wednesday, February 19 geared toward small business owners. Brandy Lawson, a purveyor of small business with 15 years experience in business technology and marketing, will advise attendees how to define and set goals as well as how to get “unstuck” from a current rut.

The event is free for CO+HOOTS members and $5 for non-members. Tickets are available at Eventbrite: http://www.eventbrite.com/myevent?eid=10436031451.
