Creating offices with great Feng Shui is a key part of my work, and I recently had the good fortune to work on one where Before & After pictures tell a lot of the story.
The office belongs to a small tech firm that consists of two principles — a CEO and CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) — who hire freelance specialists on an as-needed basis.
They wanted an office that felt, looked and functioned better, where they’d be proud to meet with clients and vendors, and that inspired them to do great work every day.
The CEO’s desk was our first priority. Here’s the Before photo:

The desk faced away from the door, distracting the CEO and putting him at a disadvantage when people came into the office.
He sat facing a window, which may be good for daydreaming, but isn’t so great for focusing on the task at hand 
and the huge desk was a clutter magnet, too.
Here is the “After” photo:

After we moved the desk across the room and into the Command Position, or Power Spot, he felt more focused, visually engaged, and “in charge” of his business. He decided that a smaller desk worked better for him, too.
The CEO told me he felt more inspired after this key re-positioning. The office layout makes more sense — the Chi energy flow is better, and it’s more obvious that business gets done here.
Stay tuned: in the next installment we re-position the CMO’s desk and deal with the entryway and an important “missing” Bagua area.
ps: They’re so busy that they’re getting ready to hire an assistant. Do you think it’s the improved Feng Shui?
