For instance, just recently we designed a sales department in Dallas, Texas according to the principles of Feng Shui for offices. After we did the complete Feng Shui Consultation based on the Sitting and the Facing of the space we learned which Feng Shui colors and materials to introduce, and even more vital what we need to avoid, to start an environment conducive to success.Based on the wide variety of energy enhancing aspects we had individual meetings with each top producer of the establishment.Managements being willing to have each one of the Top 10 sales people involved made a high level of excitement which can be rarely experienced.By discussion to these top producers how they were feeling about their soon to be made new work space taught us that the ‘one fits all approach’ is not the right way to go.Productivity and Motivation Improvement.By using a Feng Shui Qualified it is not working with an interior designer / decorator who can turn an office into “Disney World” – yet when interior design of an office is based on a right Feng Shui Consultation the probability are that a company can be more successful!
The spaces we made were so individual in out-come based on Feng Shui and the individual employee – an outcome you will not achieve by just adding ping pong tables in order to appear “hip”.
