Feng Shui Your Office, an Interview With Liv Kellgren, Conscious Environments

I invited Liv Kellgren, Conscious Environments, to give my office the "feng shui" treatment. I wanted my office to be inviting, given I’m here for about, well too many hours a day right?? Liv agreed to make my office the case study.

Like many of you, I’m a little in the dark about feng shui, so I invited Liv over to help me understand it a little more. This is the first video of my interview with Liv. I’ll be posting the second one tomorrow.

Liv will be speaking to The Meet Market on Friday, September 12th at Shadowridge on creating an ideal office environment. I invite you to come for this fascinating meeting.

Let me know what you think, or what questions you might have for Liv about feng shui.
