Feng Shui for Executives
Business isn’t growing fast enough? It’s possible your corporate space needs feng shui. Executives can benefit from the ancient Chinese art of rearranging the elements of water, wood, fire, earth and metal in a room in order to promote health, happiness and prosperity. This works by allowing chi (energy or life force) to flow freely. “In a conference room, you want to be in a commanding position with the best view of the door, seated in a high-backed chair, at a round or oval table so that it will foster harmony among colleagues,” says feng shui consultant Judith Wendell, founder of design firm Sacred Currents. Even an employee’s office may need an overhaul. “Clutter can block energy and hinder productivity,” she warns. “On a deck, new work should be on the middle left side, completed tasks on the middle right.”
