Brain Boost is a FREE monthly brown bag event, brought to you by the Cowork Frederick Foundation. It’s designed to build expertise, catapult the success of small businesses, and ensure equitable access to a wealth of knowledge. Topics vary, but always aim to leave you better able to work and grow your business or career: from mission statements to marketing strategy, branding to business structure, riding out the rough times, and more.
We begin with a 30- to 40-minute educational talk. Then, with the help of a facilitator, participants engage in active conversation, so people benefit not only from the knowledge and experience of the speaker but also from others in the room. It’s a mash-up of an educational talk and a mastermind group, meant to spark inclusive conversation and circulate the abundant knowledge within Frederick’s small biz community.
