What Your Office Says About Your Image

I know you have stepped into offices before and wondered how the heck they got anything done. A few years ago I visited a local college for some help they were offering small businesses. When I passed by the director's office, it looked like a bomb exploded. Immediately, I thought and he is going to help me build my business? Does he know what he's doing? How can he help me if he can't find his desk? It was so bad, he couldn't work at his desk and he had to set up in a conference room.

At another organization, I felt like I was walking into a gift store. There was so much cutesy stuff everywhere, I don't know where she put her work related items. I personally like a fun atmosphere, but I like it clean and simple with a touch of whimsy. It is no wonder it took this woman years to advance, she didn't look all that serious about her job and it was difficult to see past the toys to see everything she had to offer.

Here are some practical do's and don'ts to have at your desk. Can you think of more?
