This week I have been arranging things in our new office at Clawthorpe Hall in Cumbria. It is great fun, a bit like playing house, as a client said today. This has included two chairs belonging to my grandmother, a Jelly Bean dispenser, a peace lily (good Feng Shui), lots of compasses which are the Chartwell symbol and some lovely plants outside the window to hide the rather ugly looking fencing and brighten up our outlook. I don't want to work in the usual office environment which seems rather uncreative and uninspiring. I believe that your workplace can reflect your personality and the ideal that you aspire to in your working life. It is important that my clients feel comfortable when they are having their coaching and that our team is in an inspiring and uplifting place during our working week.
So, the question to you is - what can you do to brighten up your working environment and make it more relaxing/uplifting/comfortable/welcoming or whatever ambiance you want to create?

You have a jelly bean dispenser - can't wait to visit now :-)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about brightening up the workplace, my office has no window so I use a 'daylight' bulb but need to make it better. I do now have an A4 sheet with printed pictures of the Pyramids and Pompeii on the wall
