A ‘smile’ spreads positive energy
Why were we given 2 ears and only 1 mouth? To allow us to listen twice as much as we speak.
This principle starts within us, and works outwards from the home ~ to the workplace ~ to the community.
Clients often want to work on improving the external feng shui of the home to improve relationships and /or their career.
I suggest that the correct strategy may be about transforming the inner feng shui rather than the external space. I can help you enhance this skill.
Communication to build any type of relationship comes from within, and requires us to both listen deeply and to use nourishing speech.
Many large companies are currently spending a lot of money on fancy work furniture carefully arranged throughout the space to establish collaborative work environments. Yes, feng shui is concerned with the flow of external energy in a space. But,
how we nourish or deplete each others’ personal energy (inner feng shui) is equally important
5 Clues to Create Successful Communication for Harmonious Work Relationships
- Do you start your workday with a happy mind-set? Are you nurtured and relaxed by the pictures on your bedroom wall, the radio station you listen to upon waking up, a healthy breakfast, and the flowers you see on your route to work?
- Do you smile genuinely as you encounter others in the workspace, on the phone, or in your digital communications? Is a ‘real smile’ part of your brand?
- Do you speak with words that radiate kindness towards others, or is there an element of disrespect or mistrust ?
- Do you listen openly from the heart to others’ opinions in a meeting in order to make wise decisions based on a variety of perspectives? And, do you offer well thought out ideas in a concise manner rather than trying to monopolize the meeting.?
- Do you practice being mindfully aware of how your energy affects others in a relationship? It all starts with a thought ~ is it positive?
Thus, it is the human energy of the work environment that matters! The manufactured elements like desks, chairs, and carpets are secondary.
