I know that I can think back on a particular chair and my back aches in remembrance at just the thought of it. Some people look at the copy machine scene in the Office Space movie and relate, but for me I would have loved to take a baseball bat to this so-called office chair. Today, I thought I would highlight a selection of heavy duty office chairs to help pro (Read More)

Executive offices require special office furniture, right? What’s the point of being in the big office if you can’t enjoy the benefits? If we take the 1980s yuppie phrase of “work hard, play harder” then we can assume that we should reward ourselves for making it to the top of the business.

Your overwhelming love of hot and blush pink are now con (Read More)

Let’s begin with a quote “All great changes in America begins at the dinner table.” Anyone know who said that? Former President and founder of Reaganomics, Ronald Reagan. Before we get into a full blown discussion about the economy and trickling down, let’s apply that to business. “All great changes in business begins at the office conference table.” Reagan was right about needing a place to communicate clearly. His thoughts are from parent to child, we have flipped it from management to worker. This is absolutely true for this one simple fact; email effectiveness has its limits. A face to face meeting can be far more impactful than (Read More)

I like drag racing. It’s an interesting sport because the vehicles are purposefully built for a cold start ¼ mile straight line sprint to a finish.

A small conference table for an executive office can be a valuable asset to have in place. They provide a small meeting area outside of the normal confines of the conference or board room. Usually, a small round or square conference table can be placed within the executive office without taking up too much space and ruining the design of the office space. They provide the executive with a small informal meeting area within their own office to greet guests, often those VIPs that really help make the business such a success.

Introduction Do you remember when you were a kid and the worst punishment you could get was being grounded? You would be in your room, looking longingly out of the upstairs window while your friends rode bikes or played tackle football. If you were really lucky, it didn't last more than a day. But why was that the worst form of punishment? Maybe it's because humans need outdoors and fresh air just as much as we need food and shelter. The multitude of ways that science has uncovered (and is still uncovering) how the outdoors improves our mood and overall well-being cannot be overstated. For example, the American Psychological Association states that chi (Read More)

I recently took a look at Fresh Reception Desk Ideas for 2023 as an overall look at revitalizing your office space in the new year.
