Women Who Cowork and Reinvent Themselves

We know that women and mothers make the best hires and are efficient workers. Hillary and Iris Kavanagh show more love to women, even the tech-phobic, feeling unqualified, and exhausted at work. Could a coworking space help you - or could you work in a coworking space? A voice for the voiceless - yes! Iris Kavanagh, a workplace strategist, mindset and resilience coach for coworking entrepreneurs and teams, has lived in and built intentional communities since 1971. As a leader of the coworking movement since 2009, Iris has focused on supporting impactful workplace communities as places of belonging. Iris gets fired up about supporting entrepreneurship when it supports the planet and is a tool of equity in the shift towards equality.  With a background in social justice work, dance, theater and being a perpetual misfit, Iris has devoted the past 15 years to creating spaces of connection and belonging for the misfits of the world. A child of the 70’s, Iris was raised in the Hippie Back-to-the-Land movement, living off the land in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest. Iris continues to revere Nature and wild places, and works to protect them as a member of the boar of directors of her family’s environmental organization. Iris currently coaches entrepreneurs and employees, co-leads Women Who Cowork, leads intenSati workouts, and runs Wild Heart Bakeshop, which she started as a Covid side hustle. Iris currently consults, co-leads the Global Alliance of Women Who Cowork and showcases industry and movement leaders through her media series, Coworking with Iris. She lives in Santa Cruz, California with her son and various fur and feathered babies.
