Bold design choices and the use of impactful colors can help create a signature look for any business, but making the wrong decisions can be costly and backfire.  We all want our company to stand out and be recognizable.  Successful branding will leave a mark that will be remembered in the community and with customers, failure will result in our image being remembered for the wrong reasons. When we think of our company’s appearance, we must also remember that our offices and workspaces are an ex...

Commercial offices have changed a lot in the last several years as remote work became the new trend.  As a result, offices became smaller as less space was needed.  This trend evolved as companies embraced a hybrid style of work requiring a certain percentage of time to be spent in the office.  People could share space as they only had to make an appearance a few days a week.  Large gatherings and conferences that used to take place in person have largely become digital via conference call servi...

Desks come in many shapes, sizes, materials, colors, and prices.  This makes people think that buying a desk can be difficult and confusing, but it does not have to be. When deciding what desk works right for your needs all you need to do is break the decision down to a few simple factors.

Dimensions

The first thing to consider when selecting a new desk is where it will be going and what is the ideal size.  Prior to looking at what is available, you should measure the space and have a conce...

As we enter the New Year we often focus on personal goals and resolutions.  We think of ways to better our health and ourselves and strive to achieve these goals.  However, these goals typically focus on personal health and well being and we often overlook how we can become better professionals in the years to come.

Being Efficient

The key to being a successful professional is to be effective, efficient, and exceptional.  There are many ways to accomplish these goals, but we often think abo...

December is known for the Holiday season and the end of the year.  We spend lots of time thinking about holiday celebrations, Christmas decorations, and how to make the most of the season.  However, December is also a month of waiting.  We wait at airports, we wait in traffic, we wait in lines at retail stores, and we wait for Christmas to arrive.  We spend so much time waiting for ourselves we do not often think about those who might be waiting for us.

Inevitable Delays

We always want to b...

We have been spoiled by a great summer and a beautiful fall, but we must not let our guard down because now that it is November we must come to accept that Winter is on the horizon.  Daylight savings time has come to an end, trees are shedding their summer leaves, and it is dark at the end of dinner time.  However, with November comes too wonderful things.  The thought that the holiday season is on the horizon and, thankfully, an end to the constant political advertisements.

This is the time of year we start to think about fall festivals and Halloween decorations and even the upcoming holiday season.  We can see the days getting shorter and we want to make the most of what’s left of the longer and sunny days.   However, this year we are being overwhelmed with politics.  We hear about it on the news constantly, we see yard signs, and we cannot watch television or listen to the radio without being subject to political advertisements.  Voting is important and politics ...

Managing a successful business is a difficult task without outside interference; however, in today’s modern economy the environment is full of them.  We are dependent on the reliability of outside contractors, the ability to acquire materials, the need to hire and support a workforce, and the ability to network and advertise in a digital realm.  To be successful in today’s business climate, we must embrace technology, but that technology opens a ton of challenges.

Let’s face it, the summer months are starting to take a toll on us both physically and mentally and August is a tough month.  We are trying to make the most of the warm temperatures, but the weather has not always cooperated. The children’s schedules have been in constant flux and summer camps sessions are starting to end. We are still trying to get in a last summer vacation or summer activity while we still can, but recreational hot spots are full of people and are busy.  It can often feel like...
