CONNECT Story #29

Dan Stirratt, CEO of Open Spaces Consulting, LLC, provides trustworthy, expert and accessible consulting and coaching services to nonprofits, foundations, and faith-based organizations across the country. Below, Dan shares how he used our member only Directory to CONNECT with some great resources in our community.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed having my office based at France OffiCenter. I can’t imagine a more convenient, cost-effective way to give my independent consulting business a professional footprint in the Twin Cities community. The view from the main table in the annex is a source of inspiration for me every time I come in. More than just a location for my business, however, I’ve enjoyed interacting with other professionals in the virtual office space. We have a sort of common bond, regardless of the variety of business we operate. I used our CONNECT B2B Directory to find an accountant and an attorney to support my consulting work because I value partnering with people whom I might (and do) run into outside from our contracted work. In that way, our virtual community can become more tangible and personal. Jill, Fay, and Holly complete the package with amazing and friendly support. I couldn’t be happier with this arrangement! Thanks for all you do!
