At TSW Wordsmith, LLC, we believe in the power of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Inclusivity to transform workplaces. Today, we're drawing inspiration from an unlikely source: the lush landscapes and diverse backdrop of Central Park in NYC. Central Park is more than just a green space; it's a vibrant symbol of EI and Inclusivity. Amidst the concrete jungle of New York City, this park stands as a testament to diversity, resilience, and harmony - values we deeply resonate with at TSW Wordsmith, LLC . 🌸 EI in Nature's Lap: Just as Central Park offers a nurturing haven for its flora and fauna, we strive to create an environment where our team members can understand, express, and manage their emotions effectively. We believe that emotional intelligence is key to fostering strong, empathetic teams that can navigate the complexities of our industry with grace and understanding. 🤝 Inclusivity Amongst Skyscrapers: Surrounded by towering skyscrapers, Central Park welcomes everyone, mirroring our commitment to inclusivity. At TSW Wordsmith, LLC, we embrace diverse perspectives and backgrounds, creating a workplace where every voice is heard, and every team member feels they belong. 🏢🌿 Balancing the Urban with the Emotional: The contrast of Central Park's natural beauty against the urban skyline reflects our approach to balancing professional rigor with emotional well-being. We understand that our team's emotional health is just as important as their professional development. As we continue to grow and evolve, let Central Park inspire us to cultivate workplaces brimming with emotional intelligence and inclusivity. Together, we can create our own ecosystem of growth, diversity, and harmony. Join us in embracing these values and shaping a brighter, more inclusive future. #EmotionalIntelligence #Inclusivity #WorkplaceWellness #CorporateCulture #CentralParkInspiration #TeamTSWWordsmithLLC

Research shows your Zoom background matters. To convey competence, use plants, bookcases, and blank walls. But avoid kitchens, living rooms, and novelty backgrounds. https://lnkd.in/eWUxQAiN

The same way packaging works with products you buy in a store. The same way the lighting in a restaurant creates ambiance. The same way a book cover gives you a peek into what's inside. As a human, you take in all sorts of data points to fill in all the gaps in your imagination to create a story about what a thing is and how it works. Including each other. The answer isn't "use plants, bookcases, and blank walls" because you should convey competence. The answer is "understand that people will create a tale of potential about you based on what they see on the screen." Now you get to choose if you want or don't want to do anything about it. #taleofpotential #futureyou

In these days of virtual meetings, your background matters.. Avoid novelty backgrounds. Plants, bookcases and blank backgrounds are best as they are deemed to project competence. Happy, smiling features were judged to be more trustworthy than neutral features. Very interesting study results. Would be interesting to see if similar trends were replicated for video consultations.

Create Positive Change. Working from a cozy neighborhood coffee shop is truly inspiring. The eclectic mix of mismatched chairs, quaintly uneven tables, and the comforting sight of steam from behind the counter create a cozy ambiance. As various languages and stories fill the air, it feels like being welcomed by an old friend, to come inside for a chat and a chance to reconnect. I make it a point to work from a coffee shop a couple of times a month. It's not just about stepping out of the office; it's about connecting with colleagues in a different setting, reigniting creativity in a fresh environment, and reestablishing a connection with the world around me. Next time you need a change of scenery or a burst of inspiration, consider working from your local coffee shop. Share your favorite coffee shop work experiences or photos in the comments, and let's inspire each other to embrace new environments for productivity and connection. #creative #teamculture #storytelling #connectingtogether #connectivity Photo: Dragonfly Coffee Shop, Portland OR, google images.

What does your workspace look like? Boardrooms and corporate offices still sometimes feel quite serious and uptight – and greys, whites and blacks are what we commonly see in these spaces. 🎨 But I think it’s time we bring more colour and life into our work. When I was designing my workspace at home, I put a lot of love and care into it. It’s vibrant, colourful, inspirational and bursting with creative energy – Because that’s how I want to feel when I am within that space. 🌀 Science supports this. 80% of our sensory impressions are based on our visual system 👁️, And because of this the colours we see can have a profound effect on how we feel, think and act. According to Psychology Today, 🩶 Grey can be more depressing than black – is it any wonder so many people feel demotivated at work? 🧡 Warm colours like yellow or pink can energise us, but too much of them can irritate us 🩵 Cool shades like blues or purples can help us feel calm Colours can even affect our productivity. A study showed that those who were given a red coloured participant number scored less on a test than those who were given blue or green numbers. Let’s challenge the norm, and start designing spaces for ourselves that nurture and nourish our well-being and innate creativity. 🫶 Look around you – is your desk and home a healthy mix of colours and creative inspiration? What kinds of spaces do you find most inspiration in? #ColourPsychology #Productivity #Inspiration

Considering we are now in the age of remote and cities have been on life support for a long time, Now feels the time to reinvent them for the better. Very interesting perspective and shines a light on why don’t we have more drop in and out places to work across cities that can help address some of the drawbacks with remote work and being people together. Of course you have the shared offices spaces that you can pre book but there should be much more open working spaces that aim to bring people together and reimagine cities
