First Let's
Discover
Some days a simple meditative walk can provide a quick pick-me-up for employees and even management. During stressful afternoon's a 'discovery walk" can help us gain needed perspective. Think about the relation of plants, trees, and natural views that intrigue you. Why does nature draw you in and refresh you? Note what you discover.

Now let's WORKDesign
If you are a designer, architect, engineer, human resource officer or a cube farm laborer, take time to design and align your work area to the "created". Take time to resemble and replicate what you have discovered from the created environment. Don't be shy, the time you spend will increase your effectiveness - remember...Bionomic Design is not rocket science!

IT'S UP TO USChange
The meaning of life, purpose, motivation and effectiveness remain to defy the grasp of most. The main reason for this sense of loss and anxiousness in our daily tasks is because we are disconnected. We are removed from the moment by moment renewal that the created environment was ... well, created for! - The change depends on you. -- discover what we are designed for.
