Lately I have noticed a trend with my female clients—their offices are not reflective and supportive of their true nature. They are cluttered, dark, over-crowded, masculine and lacking a sense of vibrancy and vitality. I’m talking big hunky dark desks with big oversized office chairs, no pops of color or texture, no art filled with beauty and elegance, piles and piles of clutter and no sense of personal attachment. These offices do not reflect the brilliant personalities that my female clients carry in their work, family and life. They do not reflect a sense of personal self worth, elegance and ease– three things I consider to be exquisite feminine qualities very much needed in the world, especially the world of business.
Words like office and business and entrepreneur are synonymous with masculinity. For a long time now women have taken a back seat to men when it comes to forging careers and exploring business opportunities. Not because women are any less qualified or intelligent, but because women have been told that they have to do business like men in order to make in this world. Well, I whole-heartedly disagree with that and I am here to remind all of my female clients that you can create a business or career that perfectly aligns with your inner nature and you can reflect that in your space, in your own office.
Your office should look like you. It should reflect the career you are living each day. It should contain the colors you like, hold the furniture you like, the walls should be decorated with pictures and art that makes your heart soar, and you should have it organized just the way you like. I guarantee that you will work harder and produce better work if you are working in an environment that reflects your own inner beauty, sense of style and purpose.
And, I’m not saying that you need remove all masculine items; you may love and thrive in an environment that is typical masculine office style. I’m asking you to take a look around your office and ask yourself “does this space mirror my inner self?” If the answer is no, then ask yourself “what changes would I make to this space?”
Great tools for changing up your office:
And of course if you’re feeling stuck and wanting added support, inspiration and structure schedule a consultation with me.. [email protected] ….may you find a sense of joy and purpose while re-designing your space.
This is great advice for any gender
We all have x chromosomes, and can appreciate having a more welcoming space for ourselves.
Maybe we’ll actually start using these spaces if they appealed to a better nature…
