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.We had conversations with each individual top producer of the establishment based on this range of energy enhancing aspects.Management personally involved each one of the Top Ten Sales People which made a high level of excitement which is 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.Using a Feng Shui Consultant is not just consulting with an interior designer to turn your business into “Disney World” – though your interior design based on a Feng Shui Consultation certainly works!
