I remember the moment I walked through their doors - I felt both at peace and energized. The light and space felt peaceful. The unexpected placement of things was energizing.
It was at an industry event that I mostly attended so I could learn more about the hosting firm. I had experienced one of their projects, a beautiful house that was simply magnificent. Both peaceful and energizing - go figure. Their attention to detail is palpable. They had me at ‘come in’.
Within weeks the firm became a new client. We were sympatico.
I am planning an offsite session with them. As an introduction, I want them to understand the following:
1. Your work is pure sensory delight that has left an imprint on my mind and soul. When I experience your work I understand that you are…
Intentional.
Deliberative.
Mindful.
Judicious.
and, innovative.
2. Here is my challenge to you…
How can you translate your design methods and principles into operating your business - interacting as a team - working with clients - collaborating with business partners?
What would it look like? What would it sound like? What would it feel like?
How can you interpret your art form into an artful business?
