"Why
is the fee higher for a business consult than for a
personal consultation?"
Great question.
It is actually very simple. Businesses are far
more complicated from a feng shui standpoint than is an
individual home. Typically in a home we may be
dealing with 4 or 5 people, with only 1 or 2 of them
being 'in charge'. In a business setting, you may
be talking about 20, 30, 100 or literally thousands of
employees on site, and 10, 15 or 20 of them may be the
major players, the decision makers for the company.
This means that not only do we need to address the
overall energy of the building, but the offices (and
personal energy) of many, many different people.
Obviously this requires more time, more energy, and more
focus on the part of a consultant. While a typical
consultant can conduct 2 or 3 personal consultations a
day, you will not find many consultants who will work
with more than 1 business per day.
"What
exactly goes on during a feng shui consultation?"
First, I will sit down
with you and ask you a series of questions about the
company, its major goals, the goals of the decision
makers within the team, your desires for the working
environment, etc.
Then I will ask for a brief tour of the interior and
exterior of the business. As we walk through I will
continue asking questions, including things like, "How
often is this particular office used?", or "What
is this room used for?". Once I have a good
sense of what the company is all about, what the goals
are, and what your space
currently feels like, I will begin going space by space
making suggestions and recommendations, (and of course,
remarking on the good things you've already done!).
We will finish up with a brief summary noting the
priorities of the changes.
"May I take
notes?"
Many people do take
notes during the session, some will have an employee
take notes, or even audio or video
tape it so they can remember everything, and share it
with fellow employees, board members, etc.! Some businesses would prefer a written
analysis to be typed up and sent to them following the
consultation. I will do this for an additional fee.
"Should I have my employees there?"
Some employers choose to have all of
their employees there, some have only the major players
there, and some bosses choose to keep the consultation
private. EVERYTHING that happens during a
consultation is kept completely confidential. The
only ones who will ever know about it are the people who
are present as it is happening.
"What do I tell the employees in
preparation for your visit?"
You may tell them anything you like.
Typically at the first meeting, we will sit down in a
conference room with all of people involved, and I give
them some information about feng shui, about the
company, and I let them know what to expect and what
will be happening. This usually puts everyone at
ease and makes the rest of the process go much more
smoothly.
"Should I do anything to prepare
for the consultation?"
No, please don't. It is so much
better if I see your space exactly as it is on a regular
basis. Don't go to any trouble of cleaning up or
rearranging in preparation for my visit.
"What forms of payment do you
accept?"
Empress Feng Shui accepts cash, personal or business
checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American
Express.
"Is it possible
to do a Business or Corporate consultation
long-distance?"
