Learn how three entrepreneurs transitioned their business to digital platforms in the face of this pandemic, and how it challenged them to think of solutions outside the box.
Meet our speakers for our upcoming workshop “How To Transition Digitally” – 3 different people with 3 inspiring stories that will encourage you to think about how the current economic climate can work for you and your business.
Meet our Panel of Speakers:

Ana Johanah Bovoro
Ana Johanah Bovoro is the owner of Helpmate Fiji, who had the idea of starting an errand business years ago when she was in-between work as a film crew contractor. In 2020, the film industry was affected by the pandemic and so was her livelihood. After a few months of putting together a business plan, she launched Helpmate Fiji on Facebook, in June 2020. A year after starting her business in Nadi, she decided to branch out and offer the same services in Suva, and has not looked back.
Greenhouse Coworking believes in the spirit of creative collaboration, so we are excited to be partnering with The Poetry Shop Fiji to host the online event featuring the following guest speaker:

Event before the pandemic hit, most of us found it really difficult to focus and get important things done at a time where constant distractions and noise are the norm. So many emails, text messages, chat messages, phone calls, Youtube, Netflix, Facebook posts and the list goes on of everything interrupting your workflow. Now that most of us are working from home, it’s even become even more challenging with the addition of being around your children, housework, homeschooling, and if you live on your own, just so incredibly isolating and lonely.
We get it! Most of us are still learning how to work from home effectively. What if we told you there is a way to hack into your consciousness so you are able to tap into your state of flow to get those big items done and done?
Sign up for our Getting in the Zone Sprint to find focus and flow on IMPORTANT over urgent work (like writing that book, starting a side hustle, writing that big proposal, working ON your business, not IN your business, and many others) with other Greenhouse coworking community members.
“Flow is a mental state of focused attention so intense that it does not allow us to have cognitive bandwidth left for anything else. It is a state of such profound task-absorption and intense concentration that makes a person feel one with the activity.”
Positive psychology
Our Community Manager will guide you through this 3-hour event and you will be amazed at what you can accomplish in this virtual coworking activity!

If you missed the last Dreamer to Doer session last year, this is your chance to sign up for this upcoming one!
Join the Greenhouse Coworking Community for this FREE class where our Founder, Maria Ronna Luna Pastorizo-Sekiguchi, breaks it down on how you can get those BIG dreams and goals now. Does fear overcome you and stop you from taking any steps to achieving your dreams? Do you question yourself on whether you are doing the right things? Are you unsure on how to even begin?
Three takeaways that you are guaranteed to learn in this class:
- Learn a practical framework on how to turn your dreams into achievable goals (yes even during a pandemic).
- What to do when the fear and uncertainty steps in.
- How to create strategies and use tools that actually work for you so you are not giving up months later and throwing your long to-do list out the window!
Message from the Facilitator:
Bula I’m Ronna! Chief Dream-Achiever and Boss Momma of Dragons at Greenhouse Coworking and The Greenhouse Studio.
I know what it’s like, to dream so big that you’re left scared shitless. That and the thousand thoughts running in your head on how can you even begin with your multitude of roles, bills to pay, mouths to feed and you maybe think that people will laugh at you.
Over the years I’ve learned that there is a framework and a certain type of mindset that transforms dreamers to doers, and this has helped me in making things happen in every aspect of my life. From conquering the fear of the deep by learning how to scuba dive, hiking up and swimming on a volcano crater, traveling around Europe, bootstrapping a business, meeting President Obama and Michelle Obama (with other chosen Obama leaders but we were in the same room ok?😂), marrying my soulmate and bringing two little souls into the world!
My intention is to inspire and create that spark in you so you can begin to truly take charge of your life. Hope to see you in my class!

Our Founder Fridays are monthly events that bring together business founders from everywhere as a time not only to talanoa about topics and issues that keep founders up at night but also give them a space to share and unwind on a Friday afternoon after a long, hard week (or weekssss!) with other founders like themselves.
These events are for our Greenhouse Coworking community members hosted by our very own Community Manager, Lana Smith. We’ll invite other founder friends from around the region and the globe too and you can be sure to walk away not just feeling lighter after connecting with other founders, but also learn something new that can help you and your business.
This Founder Friday’s talanoa:
This is our #firstever #FounderFriday so we are excited! For this first one, we will share and revolve around this question –
What is the greatest f-up in your life or in your business that has taught you so much, it propelled you to where you are today?
