Woolfworks Singapore Co-working Space for Women

Woolf Works is a shared workspace for women where their members are freelancers, business owners, writers, remote corporate workers, flexi-workers, consultants and business pre-launchers.

They are the first women-only coworking space in all of South and South East Asia and they have grown a strong and vibrant community of women, with a retention rate well above industry standard.

Woolf Works was named after Virginia Woolf, whose book A Room of One’s Own was published in 1929. They love that, even eighty-five years ago, Woolf knew that women needed a separate space in order to ‘produce art’.

They know working from home can be lonely, full of distractions and really uninspiring.

Coworking is a perfect match for women trying to balance a growing business with a growing family.

Their space is calm, quiet and conducive to really focused work.

They have a community of like-minded women who are great for a chat over the coffee machine, for feedback on the colour of a logo – or to loan you a phone charger if you’ve forgotten yours.

Our space can also provide opportunities for your business – through collaborations and referrals within their community and wider networks. Woolf Works strives to add value to their members wherever they can and they are always looking for ways to support and connect their members.

Their memberships are varied and flexible to meet the needs of their busy members. You can choose to split your days in half to work around kids’ school hours, for example, or you could come in just one or two days a week for full-time, super-productive days, leaving the rest of the week for your other needs.

They love their growing and thriving community, and we are proud to provide ‘a room of their own’ – in line with their namesake, Virginia Woolf’s statement.

They look forward to a future surrounded by productive, focused and successful women.

Singaproe Seminar RoomFAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between your space and a café?

Yes, they have awesome coffee, but otherwise they are quite different to your average café. For a start, it’s pretty quiet – there’s no terrible background music or noisy conversations; everything is kept very hushed and calm. Also, the wifi is speedy and easy to connect to, and they have a fast printer and a scanner available for everyone to use. Lastly, you don’t need to keep buying cakes and coffee to stay in their space – and you are welcome to bring your own lunch!

Why should I pay for a space when I could just work from home?

How much work do you really get done at home? Can you work for a sustained period of time without getting distracted by household chores, kids or the fridge? And isn’t working from home all the time just a bit lonely? At Woolf Works, they appreciate having some other people around to chat with by the coffee machine or to get an opinion on a design decision. When it’s work time, they can knuckle down and really focus on the job at hand, without distraction.

Can I take calls there?

Yes, of course – they have a policy of keeping things reasonably quiet and ask you to be respectful of that by keeping your phone voice low, or stepping outside or upstairs for a longer, louder conversation.

Can I have meetings there?

Absolutely – you are welcome to meet in their coffee corner with visitors, or book the upstairs ‘Den’ for a longer, private session.

What are the policies regarding men?

Men are welcome as guests, and to most of their events. However, memberships are exclusively for women.

What’s the upstairs space used for?

PUBLIC LEAN IN CIRCLES AT WOOLF WORKS

Join the Woolf Works Lean in Community: A tribe of authentic women and the pursuit of personal success, facilitated by Nadine Spalburg.

You might recognise this moment, standing in front of the mirror… or that second right before you enter the room of another networking event… A feeling of restlessness to be present. Feeling connected to who you are, but unsure how to express your unapologetic self.

It’s about being present, rather than just showing up to the occasion. Being seen for what you’re about, beneath the surface. Choosing to shine for who you are, instead of leaning on the labels and hooks you’ve created for others. To be out there and express your strength, character and vocation that defines you as a person (the professional, the mother, the friend, the creative, the activist, the inspirator – all in one).

In reality, expression of their authentic self is often uncomfortable. There is rawness in being unapologetic, which creates a sense of vulnerability to cope with on a deep personal level. Accelerating your goals from a place of being present and unapologetic is something they may all aspire to, yet often struggle with to convey in their everyday interactions. Having strong peer support relationships can be a powerful way to help you align your presence with your authentic self. That’s why they’re starting this community.

They’re not looking to create another networking opportunity.

They’re creating circles of peer-support to ignite bold, brave, unapologetic self-reflection and action – based on the Lean-in Circle method and Centred Leadership framework. This is a tribe of authentic women fierce in pursuing their personal and professional goals, and with compassion to see other women rise and shine.

Be part of the tribe, join their monthly evening sessions. The evening provides a structured facilitated session, and you can expect a thought-provoking opening followed by goal-orientated conversations in a sphere of trust.
