Whether you realize it or not, at work, your desk is a reflection of your personal brand. Therefore, you don’t want to hang pictures of your beer-chugging barbeque weekend onto the cubicle your boss walks by everyday. If your office is anything like ours, you never know who will be walking by. I had our Associate Vice President stop by my desk, with guests for an impromptu meeting. I was so glad my desk was in good order!
When it comes to adorning your desk, remember this rule of thumb: Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Work is exactly that: work. Your desk can be a reflection of your personality, but in a way that restrained, and balanced.
If I hung everything I loved from the walls of my cube, I would have posters of Johnny Depp prominently displayed, with the words, I LOVE YOU JOHNNY ! emblazoned on a banner strung from one side to the other. Not a great idea.
Make your area a place that is dignified, clean and comfortable. Make sure you to put your best foot forward, making sure that your area is always organized, and neat. Everyday is an interview. Everyday, your personal environment speaks volumes. What is it saying about you?
Take a look at my desk, and, send me pictures of your desks . I would love to see your work/living space!
