Leigh Kubin: Rick, tell me about your goals for Feng Shuing your cubicle today.

Rick: Well, I have a few thinks that I like to try. First, I would like to improve my professional skills. Both as a technical writer and as manager I would like to find a nice balance between work life and home life. And finally, I would like to get a promotion to the next level.

Leigh Kubin: That is your great goals. So, let us go take a look at you cubicle and see how can set that up to support those goals.

Rick: Sure! Let us do it.

Leigh Kubin: The think that I love most about this office is the way they set it up with the décor. That colors on the walls are calming. They have got the bamboo, so they really are setting you guys up to be relaxed in this atmosphere. But the next step is to go inside your cubicle and in your wisdom are you have got quotes which are great but I think that you need quotes that inspire you in that area, since you really want to become a better technical writer and improve your skills. Let us find something that inspire you and will move the quotes that are in your wisdom area right now to the creativity which will encourage you to have fun. The entrance to your cubicle is the journey area which is about possibilities and you want to have these possibilities open for you. We can do a few things with this space, we can add water, which I do not know how that will work in your space with the computer and the look —yes, you are saying no. So, maybe we can find a welcome mat, a black welcome mat to put on the floor that would represent the water and welcome in the possibilities.

Rick: Yes, I think we buy something that.

Leigh Kubin: Okay. In your wealth area I notice that you have the skull and cross bones, flag hanging.

Rick: Yes.

Leigh Kubin: Cute flag maybe not so cute for the wealth area because we want to encourage things to come in and not maybe push them away.

Rick: Sure.

Leigh Kubin: So, would you be open to moving that?

Rick: Absolutely.

Leigh Kubin: Okay, we can also put things that reminds you of creating wealth, and also a tree would be great to add some life to your cubicle. The relationships area of your cubicle is completely blank.

Rick: Uh, is that bad?

Leigh Kubin: Well, it is not that bad. I have worked with the client once that have a cat litter box in hers. So, we can work with nothing, we can just build up but what you want to do is think about your team that you work here with and you are a manager, so you have a team of people you work with. Consider pictures of all of you working together or at least in that space that will represent you are all working together. The center part of your cubicle is actually the health area and to me it is the most important part because if that is balance everything else can fall in to balance too. So, let us find something circular to put in there.

Rick: One thing I am interesting in changing is my back wall. It just seems kind of blank and nothings really happening there. Do you have any suggestions for what I can move there?

Leigh Kubin: Yes, that is your fame and reputation area. So, what do you want to be known for?

Rick: I kind to be known for being laid back, so maybe something that will represent that.

Leigh Kubin: That sounds like fun. In the family ancestry area of your office you could think about where you gain your knowledge from which could be maybe some diplomas. Is that something that you would want to put up in this space?

Rick: Probably not my diplomas but I can probably think with something we come up with.

Leigh Kubin: Because can also maybe add your family pictures there since you want the balance between home and work family pictures
